Tucson, AZ—Say it ain’t so!
Just one day after railing for a ban on so-called assault weapons, high
capacity ammunition magazines and expanded background checks on simple family gun transfers
it seems our retired space cadet Mark Kelly was buying the very guns he has been castigating.
Right now gun control has no face since Sarah Brady simply
got too old and had to retire. Gabby Giffords might be a natural choice because she got newfound fame for being the
target of an armed madman. Sadly
Gifford’s injuries have robbed her of her ability to handle the duties
required. Currently here is no famous
face of a knowledgeable and dedicated gun banner to take on that role. The right quasi-celebrity could garner a
large paycheck along with a high profile.
The gun banners had high hopes that Mark Kelly could fill Sarah Brady’s
shoes.
Gabby Giffords was not exactly a supporter of Obama style gun
control. She actually had her own concealed
weapon permit but unfortunately she chose to attend that fateful meet and greet
event unarmed and defenseless. The Democratic Party
begged her to help them with their cause after the Sandy Hook school
shooting. Giffords and her husband
opted for the anti-gun spotlight.
Apparently their personal convictions simply did not mirror their new high profile propaganda effort.
Kelly was suddenly walking the walk and talking the gun control talk.
He testified before Congress and Just one day after giving similar testimony
before the Colorado legislature he was out buying his own AR-15 rifle. So much for Kelly’s public whining that no one
needs these kinds of firearms.
Kelly walked into Tucson’s Diamondback Police Supply where
he purchased an AR-15 carbine, several so-called high capacity magazines and a
1911 .45 semi-automatic pistol. Now they are in damage control mode suggesting
he was somehow conducting an “undercover investigation” checking on the gun
buying process. Was law enforcement
involved with Kelly’s Spook job?
Apparently that’s not the case.
Kelly has just dashed any hope of any other requests to
become the celebrity gun ban advocate. I
guess someone else will have to be found for this coveted high paying
propaganda position.

Their anti-gun stance was only about funding a lifestyle.

The more government we have, the less free we all are. The government that governs least governs best.
Christ is King.
So, since she acted in an irresponsible way and gets shot by some nut, she and her AR-15 buying husband want the rest of us to pay for her irresponsible behavior.
Sickening....
I am not sure that he didn’t prove a point about how lax our laws are. I live in Texas and have in the past purchased a firearm or two. When doing so I am provided with the appropriate paperwork from the state/government to fill out so that I may make the purchase, this is form 4473 and is mandated by the ATF.
The reason this has come up was that question 11-a is:
Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm for another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you.
To me if he had checked yes on box 11-a than he in fact lied on the document, as he stated he planned to purchase and turn over the firearm so therefore should be charged for falsification of said document which clearly explains that it is a felony to falsify the document in any way.
Just something I thought was odd and people should be concerned about as he was clearly not investigated although had that been you or I we would likely be talking to a lawyer about jail time.
