a bill that could prevent future tragedies like those in Newtown, Conn., Aurora, Colo., Blacksburg, Va., and too many communities to count.

Hhahahahahaha. They really think that the mass murders would have gotten the paper work to legally posses the guns they plan to use to murder innocent people.

Gabby wrote that?

Yeah... Sure she did...

Different decade, same sock-puppet antics. Shades of Jim Brady all over again. Mark Kelley and the Dems pulling the strings now that Sarah Brady’s star has faded.

The law(s) she proposes would forbid her household from having firearms due to her brain injuries and surgeries. Maybe the law would not apply to them.

Meaning no disrespect to the former Congresswoman from AZ, did she write this herself? Because on video, she comes across rather less articulate.

Considering the supporters of the bill, and various amendments, said it wouldn’t have prevented what happened in Newtown, etc., what are we to believe?

More libtard nonsense. Blaming gun owners for that tragedy is like blaming pressure cookers for the Boston tragedy.

I just might watch the news this weekend to hear the jackasses cry.

Damn, it must be traumatic to be a former congressturd and not have a job. You’re left with “advocating” causes and making appearances with politicians... and when your pet legislative issue doesn’t fly the way you want, you have to evoke the sympathy angle.

The Gun Lobby is composed of your fellow Americans, Gabby. Tens of millions of us. But it’s ok because I know you have the mental capacity of a very young child and this was written in your name by the husband who is making use of your condition, or one of his handlers.

Sorry, Gabs. Even Di-Fi admitted the bill wouldn’t have prevented Newtown. Go sell it somewhere else.

U.S. SENATORS' OATH:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

IT IS NOT TO FOLLOW THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE OR A CHOSEN FEW

My question is, who do they think the gun lobby is, anyway? It's not the gun companies... they are, for the most part, much more moderate in their perspectives than the NRA, and they don't have pockets deep enough to buy congress anyhow.

The real answer is, the gun lobby is the people. The grassroots. The guys in the trenches.

Yes, the senate is in the grip of the gun lobby, and that's the way the people want it.

Has anyone seen the little video of her moving about.

She has been devastated from her injuries. She was anti-second amendment before and nothing has changed. Given her condition, her husband’s effort to kickstart a new career in politics, and the money being thrown around with handlers and consultants (remember the newtown “families” each had politican handlers and media consultants assigned to them) I DOUBT she wrote anything.

It is probable a rehash of her prior writings.

I'd like to congratulate Ms. Giffords on what seems to be a lucrative new career. She's now a "professional victim," and will have a great career ahead of her.

I'm still not sure whether her new career will come close to being as useless as her old one in Washington.

To: All

each member of the NRA represents a MINIMUM of ten like minded voters.

Giffords is now self appointed.

Do not forget she was left on the congressional role in order to allow her to collect a permanent pension in light of her injuries. That was a good deed that is not going unpunished.

How about locking up criminals and crazy people to protect everyone else, instead of locking up everyone else to protect them from criminals and crazy people?

(But that would run against one of her party's major doctrines.)

I'm not convinced that Obama's (and Biden's) tears weren't fake, although they may have been hoping that this monstrosity would be passed by the Senate and die in the House so they could use it against the Republicans in 2014. Boehner and the Republicans can now rightly say that the Democrat Senate couldn't manage to pass anything. (The House could pass the Grassley-Cruz Amendment and send it over to the Senate!)

Feinstein's AWB 2.0 went down 40-60 so it's not anything close to a minority that stopped it.

Just posted in the other Mrs. Giffords' thread:

What is sad about this--which while not a perfect analogy, reminds one of the shameless way Mrs. James Brady exploited the body of her disabled husband, to appear a hero to the far Left--is that Mrs. Giffords feels the need to advertise the fact that she does not really understand the Constitutional role of the Federal Government! How many who serve in Congress, or who have served in Congress, are similarly ignorant?

The Federal Government is one of delegated powers (functions). It is not anointed by God to solve all the problems of humanity; not even all the problems, real or imagined, of American citizens. Its functions are clearly spelled out; they are not implied; they are not driven by wish lists. (See Implied Powers? Clearly Implied Limitations.)

Sorry to burst so many bubbles, masquerading as reasoned argument.

William Flax
