Gun control update: Mark Kelly buys AR-15, .45 and high capacity magazines

The right scoop ^ | 03-10-13 | 911Infidel

[Kevin in California]

Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an “assault weapon,” he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws. Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol at a gun store in Tucson, Arizona

They are frauds in all their concerns.

They posture for power and cash only.

Despite his claims we shall never see any documentation of return or sale.

Never.

Simple. He is an astronaut. That makes him an elite. Like a retired congresswoman or a billionaire.

Geeze give him a break already/S

If you want to assault the Constitution you need an assault rifle, huh Mark?

“liberals and hypocrisy go hand in hand”

Liberal hypocrisy; so far it has been a successful political strategy

[andyk]

The comments on his facebook page are quite amusing. I don’t think I saw a single one in support of him.

They own the media and schools, without those they’d get nowhere

“They own the media and schools, without those they’d get nowhere”

Precisely. Ask their target audience to define hypocrisy. They don’t even know what it is.

WWHS - What Would Hillary Say???

I heard he planned to give it to the police. So that means he made a straw purchase. I also heard that he did it to show how easy it is for anyone to get one. My question to that is what in his background would have prevented his purchase that he would openly say anyone can get one?

[elcid1970]

Busted!

[RC one]

he must have found out that astronauts aren’t exempt from the ban, only cops.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

For Gabby's collection. Gabby likes guns!

Hmm, he's a Veteran who flew combat missions..aren't some gun grabbers pushing the idea all Vet's have PTSD..

[Shadowstrike]

I’m sorry but did they miss something in his background when he was vetted by NASA!?

He “knew” he wouldn’t have any problem buying a weapon cause HIS background was squeaky clean.

He’s an idiot, a hypocrite, and he should be ashamed trotting his disabled wife out for every little “pet” project.

[eyeamok]

Doesn’t that also make him a “Veteran”?? hmmm maybe he should be scrutinized a little closer.

[TigersEye]

Good point. Feinstein and company wouldn't trust him with a gun.

Veterans forced to prove they're worthy of gun rights

[JimRed]

If instead of being an astronaut with no misbehaviors on his record he had multiple convictions for violent acts, it maight have been an “illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws”. As is, it is meaningless except to illustrate hypocrisy.
