Gabby Giffords: Universal Background Checks Not Enough, Legalize Confiscation
breitbart.com ^ | 5/10/2016 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 05/11/2016 10:42:10 AM PDT by rktman

On May 9 — less than two years since universal background checks were hoisted onto the backs of law-abiding citizens in Washington state — Gabby Giffords was in the state campaigning for special protective orders that will allow firearm confiscation.

The orders — “Extreme Risk Protection Orders” — would be similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders, inasmuch as they would allow “family or household members” to petition a judge to order the temporary confiscation of firearms from another family member or person living in the household.

Hey Gabby, read the Constitution before making stupid remarks. You and your space-cadet husband are very trying to one’s senses. Like fingernails on the chalkboard.

If the Republican judge who sacrificed his life to save hers knew what she is capable of, I wonder whether he would have shielded her with his body...

I’m proud to have voted against this despicable woman, and to have protested outside her office before she was shot.

So, getting shot in the head once was not enough?

Do you know her? Were you there? I am not asking these questions to mock you. I think we been lied to a lot in recent years. This Giffords story has some large holes that just as glaring as many of the other so called tragedies in recent years.

Maybe she did get shot, but I fail to believe it. It is funny that every 6 months or so, we have mass shootings ever since Obama has been president. They were a lot more uncommon before then.

This already happens in a lot of states. If you are accused of domestic abuse—bang...no more guns for you pal.

Whatever happened to “Commander Mark” ‘s MSM predicted stellar political career?

Wasn’t he supposed to be at least the Senator from AZ by now?

An organized attempt to confiscate weapons from law-abiding Americans might do less damage than the current plan to slowly erode our rights. If they are ready for the consequences, I’m okay with them trying. Of course, I am assuming that no decent person would participate, so the losses won’t hurt America.

What this woman denies is that the law enforcement head she supports failed to haul that perp in for 72 hour evaluation after they had been called on that loon several times.

Thats why the police chief got out and screemed like bloody murder after this happened. He was culpable and should have been sued for it.

“The result will always be... criminal predators and terrorist, who have no desire or compulsion to obey any such new confiscatory gun laws...”

There is that pesky little third group who will not obey an order to give up their rights.

Liberal woman hate white men... if she really gave a damn she would look at Chicago... They have these laws on the books and they don’t matter a wit.

She doesn’t care about murders - she cares about white law biding men having guns.

“Do you know her?”

Do you?

“Were you there?”

Were you?

“I am not asking these questions to mock you.”

I think you’re mocking yourself, beclowning yourself really. And I say that in no way to insult you. I just think you’re doing it. I’m just being blunt.

“I think we been lied to a lot in recent years.”

We sure have. And Gabby Giffords was shot. The two are not mutually exclusive. The lie in Giffords case was that her shooter was a right-winger. He wasn’t. She was really shot, however. Others were shot too - and killed. It happened.

“This Giffords story has some large holes that just as glaring as many of the other so called tragedies in recent years.”

No, actually there are no “large holes” that don’t show up in many other shootings or crimes. Some things are never fully explained. That doesn’t mean the shootings didn’t happen.

I know there are kooks out there who say there was no mass shooting of children in Sandy Hook/Newtown - but there was a mass shooting. It happened. I know there are kooks out there who think those poor people who got their limbs blown off in the Boston marathon bombing were “amputee actors” (Dear God, how stupid can people be? Let’s see: http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/04/pictures-that-prove-double-amputee-was-an-actor-at-boston-bombings-2626684.html
The reality is those people were exactly what they looked like - bombing victims who lost limbs.

We live in an age where people even claim and really believe that the moon landing never happened: http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/626119/MOON-LANDINGS-FAKE-Shock-video-Stanley-Kubrick-admit-historic-event-HOAX-NASA No matter how idiotic the conspiracy theory some idiot will believe it. Some people even believe the very existence of the moon is really a falsehood produced by conspiracy: http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/environment/g130/9-utterly-ridiculous-conspiracy-theories/

“Maybe she did get shot, but I fail to believe it.”

I understand. You fail to believe reality.

“It is funny that every 6 months or so, we have mass shootings ever since Obama has been president.”

No, it’s not funny (i.e. neither humorous nor odd). Mental illness is increasing (which helps explain why so many people believe in idiotic conspiracies). The number of violent criminals seems to be increasing too. The number of gang related and drug related mass shootings seems to be going up as well. Things like this: http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/22/us/ohio-shooting-pike-county/

http://www.snopes.com/mass-shootings-obama/

“They were a lot more uncommon before then.”

Let’s say that’s so for the moment. And? That doesn’t mean a conspiracy is in play. It merely means there are more shootings.

You are beclowning yourself. All you do is mock, but yet you don’t address any of the arguments. You just blindly believe your Dan Rather nightly news like the clown you are.

I believe it just reflects the continuing decline in society's respect for life. Or continuing success of the Democrat Great Society. They're basically the same thing.

Yeah, mental illness just suddenly spiked when obama took over. And when a shooting happens, like clockwork they start trying to pass anti-gun laws. Like I said, you are a sheep, nothing more.
