This makes me feel better about his selection.

She may have gone through a horrific ordeal, but she's still stupid and offers nothing of substance to the conversation.

Just who did Gabby Gifford think that Trump would nominate who did NOT believe in the sanctity of the Second Amendment?

Limitations on the distribution of sidearms in the general population is being approached entirely the wrong way. Rather than prohibit various sidearms or modifications to those sidearms, better to educate the ENTIRE population in the care, feeding, grooming, and proper methods of use of sidearms, as part of the same curriculum that instructs the youth in reading, writing and arithmetic, as a basic skill that should be known to EVERYBODY. This does a couple of things, as it weeds out, at a very early stage, those who by disposition are so deathly afraid of all things related to firearms, to calm their fears and redirect them appropriately, or to discover the twisted personalities who should in no circumstances EVER be allowed near weaponry of any kind.

A secondary, and perhaps vastly more important aspect, would be to create a large number of knowledgeable young folks completely familiar with firearms, and in that way, both capable of self-defense, and for careers in law enforcement and military. Couple this with nationwide concealed carry, and the criminal element would be a whole lot more cautious before they consider making an assault on a citizen.

Works for the country of Switzerland. Maybe the Swiss do not have concealed carry, but every domicile of any Swiss citizen is required to have a firearm in working order and a person in the household who knows how to use it.

Reasonable

A code word for folks who cannot follow the (non) logic of gun control.

It means “You are too stupid to figure out this complex issue”

If you don’t agree with ‘reasonable’, you are just dumb.

"If it were made an enforced capital offense for African-Americans to purchase, own, possess, sell or transfer a firearm in the US, gun-related and homicide crimes would drop by 90%."

Aah, pining for the "good ol' days" are we?

“I believe that bullet took out the higher cognitive functions of her brain.”

No. She was that way before getting shot. Speaking as a constituent. She’s an idiot and was long before being elected. But the AZ GOP-E preferred her election to a conservative republican!

That Giffords is opposed is pretty much a guarantee that he is a great choice.

Gab will ALWAYS be counted upon to read a script about guns and 2A.

She’s an “expert” now, down’tcha know.

Now, to recap.. the left would have us with no guns, no rights, gov deciding who gets healthcare, who lives and who dies, who rules and who are peons, taking all the money/income to pay for the communal lifestyle they chose for us...sounds like socialism at its worst.

She also fails to acknowledge that she was shot by a crazy drugged-out leftwing nutcase whipped up into a frenzy by the extreme anti-Bush/Cheney rhetoric of the time, and which had absolutely nothing to do with the Sarah Palin voting district ad that the media tried to hang around Sarah's neck.

...who also realizes reasonable regulations that reduce gun violence do not infringe on anyone’s constitutional rights.

Gabby, if such regulations are broadly applied to the citizenry, then BS.

Likewise if regulations are applied to guns. Guns are inanimate tools incapable of exercising violence.

If the target actually is "gun violence", then regulate the user who has demonstrated violence towards others via the use of a gun; and, in light of the 2ndA which limits your authority, recognize that you must leave the rest of us alone in this regard.

Most of these comments attributed to most of these people are being churned out as scripted, coordinated talking points from a war room of rinos, former Obama officials, and ultra left paid actors from grant funded radical groups.

"... reasonable regulations..."

Gabby, when's the last time we heard you demanding "reasonable regulations" on abortion providers?

Wasn’t she supposed to die before getting a shippped named after her? Plus what did she ever have to do with the Navy? Maybe sink that boat and rename a post office after her. An Obama elementary school?

🔫😳. Uh, how about their 'dangerous" views on further infringing on an actual right guaranteed by the BOR. Unlike made up 🐎💨💩 rights thought to be guaranteed but not actually written ANYWHERE. But, we're the bad guy idiots. I see.
