Gifford's husband, Mark Kelly buys "assault" rifle
« on: March 10, 2013, 03:38:58 AM »
As we have come to expect, many of the crusaders for gun rights only want OUR guns taken away, while they continue  to have what they want.
 
When caught in the act, Kelly says he bought the gun only to turn it over to the cops....right.

Surprise surprise, a hypocrite associated with the government. Do as I say and not as I do. What a shock.  ::)

Mark Kelly irritates the hell out of me. His self-righteous mugging for the camera, the Coretta Scott King act, his protestations of being a 2nd Amendment Guy while he ingratiates hisself to gun grabbers... just pure asshat. He gig is wearing thin.

So it was easy to buy.  I don't have the money for either.  The bakground check did what it was meant to; verify the buyer.  Is he planning to commit mayhem?  I believe the family already has guns, so keeping one more away from them would not change any plans.


As for the guns bought, neither was used at his wife's shooting, nor Sandy hook.  There was no mention of a police supply store being just that.  We already know the police are planned to be exempt.


Is there any work being done of the dismal mental health problems in this country?

An officer and a gentleman, an astronaut, the husband of a former congresswoman, deemed safe to sell a gun to... Well I for one am shocked.


This hypocritical SOB deserves all the crap that can fall on his head. He's not a first time gun owner, he knows the drill. Upstanding citizen fills out form and FBI clears you for purchase, as it is written as it shall be.


He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. I am going to give it to the Police Department, what a load of horse crap.


Which one of this couple suffered from brain damage again?

hmm, he bought an AR15 FROM a Police Supply store so he could turn it over to the Police? Anyone else confused? He is a lib. Libs lie. Therefore he lies. Anyone else surprised? I thought not.

He many have been lying, but your more general statement, quoted above, is pure BS.  SharonAnne, you oughta be ashamed of yourself. Have you ever lied, or shaded the truth? Are you then, a liar?

When someone is lied to - esp if the one lying is a political/other enemy? - humans say, "he is a LIAR!" - but when they tell a lie, they'll often give some variation of, "Well, there's more to the story! There's an underlying truth! That's your opinion! I'm multi-faceted!" or some other self-serve balooony.


I'd like to hear more on MK's gun-buying so he can give it to the cops - I mean, I know an 0-6 with book deals married to a congresscritter is pretty flush, I think he's full of crap here, or the story is incomplete. Let's hear more of it... or find out if it's even true.

OK, I agree with you guys on this.........BUT......Here is a FACT that most citizens and apparently ALL politicians have forgotten.They take an oath to DEFEND the Constitution and by trying to gut the 2nd is a violation and they CAN and SHOULD be removed from office.........and thats all I have to say about that.......
This only proves that,when allowed to act outside his lawfully limited authority,a U.S. President is capable of unleashing horrendous violence against the lives,liberty,and property of those he pretends to serve...........

It's called " boiling a frog" you can't just heat up the water bring to boil and throw the frog I in it, he will just jump out. You have to set him in a warm pot of water and when he's comfortable you slowly keep turning up the heat(like all the little registration laws , the licensing , the protecting the chirrens stuff)  and before you/WE know it the frog is boiled and he never knew what hit him , one degree at a time, that's what it takes and "they" are doing it.


Guys like Kelly are just pawns, being used by the people that have the agenda. He just got caught in the cookie jar.  But we shouldnt call names, I have learned that here at GBO.   ::)

A lot of people are making the association of the name of the store to someone who supplies police only, this is a regular gun store that they named police supply, they do have a lot of items needed by the cops and also special order but anyone can come in and shop, they tend to be more tactical than most but only because of the people they cater to, I've been there many times and it's a great little store.
On Mark Kelly I saw his post on the FacePlace and he gets slammed pretty good, I'm sure he realizes now that he messed up and will be doing a song and dance trying to explain himself, too bad the MSM is totally ignoring this but then again that's expected.

If he didn't buy the gun for himself, he lied on the ffl form.  Is he saying it was a straw purchase.

I'd like to see Kelly address that. As I wrote earlier... his schtick is getting old. +

     I wonder if he drug his poor wife into the store like a puppy as he does when he drags her onto the stages for the anti-gun speeches she makes,  It is a crying shame the way he and the whole Osama organization are using her, just a shame.  Jim

I loathe the way he uses his poor wife as a prop, the same way Sarah Brady does with Jim. Just because he is married to a victim doesn't make him an expert on gun violence nor does owning a gun or being an NRA member make him a Second Amendment advocate. I think he has political ambitions and is using the current situation as a stepping stone. He has only been married to Gabby Giffords for a few years. Before retiring from the military he lived in Texas and she in Arizona. I feel like he is exploiting the situation to try and make make himself relevant.

I think that there may be a good bit of something to that something...

Charles Schumer has a concealed carry permit in NYC which has become so impossible to get you'd have a better chance of being struck by lightening on a sunny day. Also, Rbt Di Nero, Joan Rivers, Mark Anthony, Donald Trump's son and many other celebrities have concealed permits. Bloomberg's defense was that celebrities and politicians needed them for self defense. The peasants don't need them. My brother-in-law had one for his business and the NYC police refused to renew it-no explanation. They told him to get a lawyer and sue if he wanted to get it back.

Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

She just had an op ed piece published calling for a universal background check. As I understand the situation, the guy that shot her passed a background check and bought his firearms legally. After seeing her try and put together a few sentences  when she testified in D.C., it's pretty hard to imagine her penning an article. I think this is probably another example of Mark Kelly using her as a vehicle to give himself relevance.

     TM do you really believe that by him leagally buying the glock and owning it and then giving it to his wife is a STRAW PURCHASE ?   If she was leagally allowed to own a firearm it is legal, a straw purchase is you buying a gun for someone who cant leagally buy one themselves.  JIM

In my local gun shop a guy came in and picked out a handgun to buy. In the conversation he stated that he was buying the gun for a Christmas gift for his wife. My dealer promptly refused to make the sale. I think I saw the same video of Kelly shooting the jugs and clay flower pots on the rocks. It looked to me that from the angle he was shooting the targets were skylighted above the top of the hill.
