On the eve of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords is challenging Washington leaders not to ignore gun violence.

The former Democratic congresswoman is featured in a new television ad set to air immediately before and after the president’s speech. In the ad, Giffords faces the camera and says, “Congress is afraid of the gun lobby.”.....

....Kelly called the inaction on Capitol Hill “remarkable.”

“Congress has done nothing because many politicians are listening to the gun lobby when they should be listening to their constituents,” he said.

Gun safety activists. Even the puppet master mx. mark kelley-giffords weighs in. No mark. What's "remarkable" is that someone with the comprehension skill of a gerbil(you) actually got in to the military and became an astronaut. Go back to your enclave in AZ and leave us alone.

It’s too dangerous to ignore 17 trillion in debt, and then boast about cutting out a billion dollars in spending.

You think it is dangerous now, just wait until you try to disarm Americans.

I know this guy is prepping to run for office, but he better choose a more anti-gun state or he’s just wasting his time.

Agreed. Elected officials should be listening to their constituents. And, at the same time, they should be supporting and defending the Constitution, as they swore.

That means supporting the Second Amendment, along with all the others, even in the face of heart-tugging libtard gibberish that has NOTHING to do with appropriate fedgov responsibilities.

McLame may well live to be 100 and go from the Capitol bldg to the mortuary.

I hope Commander Mark isn’t putting all his hopes on that seat, LOL.

Only to a liberal is there so much gun violence that we should ban guns but if you want a gun to protect yourself from that violence you are just being paranoid.

Giffords: Proof you can shoot a Democrat in the head and not hit a brain.

Whenever anyone tells you they just want "sensible" gun control, tell them that we already have sensible gun control.

One is a politician missing a large chunk of brain and the other is a space cadet. Who cares what they have to say?

NASA is really a socialist military fund siphoning globalist entreprize. Not surprized Mr. Bureaucrat astronaut thinks only him can be one. He probably would hand the money to the Russian space program since he is a demoralized tool.

Why should anyone put much faith in what a shooting victim or family member of one has to say about the second amendment or gun control? Do these people automatically become experts somehow? They are obviously (and justly so) BIASED. They can’t be OBJECTIVE. They should get compassion, not a soapbox.
