WA:The only question that matters may not be asked in Olympia

When former Congresswoman Gabrielle “Gabby” Giffords appears today in Olympia to testify in favor of Initiative 594, the 18-page gun control measure being sold as a “universal background check” requirement, only one question should be respectfully asked: How would adoption of this measure have prevented the kind of thing that happened in Tucson in January 2011?

That's the incident in which Giffords was shot in the head by a gunman who killed six people and wounded 12 others, including the former congresswoman. She will be accompanied today by her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly.

The question is a fair one. There is no disrespect in it. If Ms. Giffords comes to Washington State to testify on behalf of a gun control proposal, because of her personal tragedy and triumph, she ought to explain how this measure would have prevented what happened.

According to the Associated Press and KTAR in Phoenix, Giffords will be featured in a new gun control advertisement to be aired before and after tonight’s State of the Union speech by President Barack Obama, shown here courtesy The Gun Wire. He is not expected to push any new gun control proposals, but that’s what the commercials will do.

The report says Giffords will insist that “Congress is afraid of the gun lobby.” She will tell viewers to “Tell Washington it’s too dangerous to wait.”

Nice to hear. Maybe there is hope.

No - no one wants what’s coming down the pike. It’s how we deal with it that matters. We all get to find out what we’re made of.

You had to sneak that in here, didn't you? The Broncos are probably asking themselves the same question. LOL for you.

LOL

Was a sleeper game.

I fell asleep with 9 minutes left.

No, the only question that may not be asked is how Gabby survived the explosive shockwave that supposedly travelled through her brain from a 9mm bullet, and barely even left any scar behind, let alone brain injury, let alone a big bloody mess that used to be her brain - and a recovery quicker than a skinned knee.

WASHINGTON — Former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ super PAC collected nearly $12.5 million last year to promote her gun-control agenda, new federal records show.

The more Giffords is paraded about, the more chances Mark has of moving that money out of the PAC.
