Here we go again....
« on: February 04, 2013, 01:23:31 AM »
Mark Kelly has announced he and his wife Gabby Giffords will organize a group called "Americans for Responsible Solutions" and it sounds like part of their agenda is  banning "assault" style weapons and hi-cap magazines. I always was disgusted when Sarah Brady would roll out her husband for window dressing for Handgun Control,Inc. (later changed to Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence ) It seemed to me that she was exploiting Jim's injuries to give herself relevance.
 
I feel the same way about Mark Kelly. My heart goes out to Gabby Giffords, but her managing to speak the words "we must do something" at the gun control hearings really weren't much of a solution.  Mark Kelly likes to tell people he and Gabby are gun owners -so what,I think Dianne Feinsien is a gun owner also.

But in her defense, she got shot up pretty bad, so she probably sees the issue as related to that. 
It's like when anything terrible happens to ourselves or someone we love, we examine those things that might have caused it.  Of course gun control in reality is a non issue regarding her being shot.  I'm just saying.

Reagan was shot and did not call for more gun laws. However his press secretary James Brady made a career of it but that was obviously about money as became a major source of income for him.
Theodore Roosevelt was shot but continued to deliver his speech.
Americans just aren't built the way they used to be. It is a pity.

Quote from BAGTIC:
"Reagan was shot and did not call for more gun laws."


But he did back some though:


1991, Ronald Reagan said at a ceremony at George Washington University: “I want to tell all of you here today something that I’m not sure you know. You do know that I’m a member of the NRA. My position on right to bear arms is well known. But I want you to know something else. And I’m going to say it in clear unmistakable language. I support the Brady bill and I urge the Congress to enact it.”
