On September 24 the gun control group founded by Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly used Pope Francis’s address to Congress as an opportunity to request a $3 donation from gun control supporters.

The gun control group–Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS)–quoted the Pope as saying, “We have to ask ourselves: Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict pain untold suffering on individuals and society?”

’ the international arms trade ‘ = RUSSIA and to a smaller extent , China .

Look , all over the world where there is conflict . What sort of weapons to the combatants hold ?
Except in Iraq , where cowardly Iraqi troops have thrown down their weapons , to be picked up by ISIS ...they are RUSSIAN weapons .

The Pope need to go to Russia and deliver his remarks to the Russian people and Mr. Putin .

No ?

Good question. Where is the gun store that sells to people who plan to inflict injury? Is there a new check box on the 4473 that makes sure we plan to inflict pain?

Every leftist thinks that they can just put their arm around the Pope's shoulders and make us all think he is one of them.

But then he reminds them that unborn babies need to be protected.

Then they tell us that he really didn't mean to say that.

He really is terrifically concerned about climate change.

Forget about the babies.

To use a very old and tired phrase, guns don’t kill people, people do. Gabby using the Pope is shameful. Every time there is a tragedy, the gun grabbers slobber.

Why don’t the liberals just refer to her as “the president’s favorite vegetable” like they did with Brady after the Reagan shooting?

Turnabout is fair play.

OK Mr. Pope, you have had your fling in Cuba and Washington, now it time you leave. Not pretty seeing your love fest with a murdering dictator either!

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Don’t bother coming again. We don’t need your interfering in our business................BYE.

Yes why are we arming muslim terrorist that call themselves moderates ?

Why are we helping a nation like Iran by giving them money and opening the door for them to get nukes while shouting death to America and death to Israel?

Why mr Pope do you go along with arming these people ?

Gabby definition: excessively or annoyingly talkative.

Her name is well suited.

Gabby was my rep, she was for the second amendment before she was against it, and her ambitious husband tries to use it as a wedge issue.

BTW, the woman who saved Gabby’s bacon, knew about guns, that is how she was e able to pull the clip out as she was underneath the shooter. One of the rescuers had a gun on him, but did not use it because it was not safe under those conditions, and a man with a gun, came running after hear the shots.

She never talks about those heroes or the Godly people that threw their bodies over others to save them and who later died themselves.

I was going to be at that meet and greet to tell her that she was a lousy, duplicitous and AWOL representative. I was saved by the Grace of God.

I don’t really think Giffords does much of anything but act as prop for Kelly’s money raising shindigs.
