Democrat Sen. challenger Mark Kelly is campaigning on background checks and gun seizures as he tries to unseat pro-Second Amendment Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ).
Kelly’s wife, Gabby Giffords, was shot by an attacker in Tucson on January 8, 2011. That attacker acquired his gun via a background check, yet Kelly is campaigning to expand the point-of-sale opportunities to conduct background checks, with his campaign website suggesting such checks “keep kids and communities safer.”
Again, his wife’s attacker passed a background check for his gun, as has nearly every mass shooter of recent memory.
Where is the safety background checks are supposed to deliver?
Kelly is also campaigning on gun seizures. The campaign website states that he plans to “reduce mass shootings and suicides by allowing families and law enforcement to ensure dangerous individuals and people in crisis don’t have access to firearms.”
Another aspect of his platform would result in the forfeiture of Second Amendment rights for persons fitting certain categories.
This marks a stunning departure from Arizona’s proud pro-Second Amendment tradition. Just last year, Guns & Ammo magazine listed Arizona as the most gun-friendly state in the Union.

Kelly is a cuck
i cant believe im saying this , but maybe his wife deserved to be shot ?..maybe someone here can set me straight if I’m not thinking right
“Another aspect of his platform would result in the forfeiture of Second Amendment rights for persons fitting certain categories.”…so what “categories” would that be?( if you are a commie?)..( there is no provisions in our BoR for what he is trying to champion) , i see nothing about a process to forfeiture of ANY of our RIGHTS , let alone their or anyone’s ability to remove any of our rights from us
so he’s a Commie Traitor scum that should be locked up until his sentencing date .. take yer bitch wife with you too
how about if you are a pussy like Mark Kelly ..you shouldn’t be able to defend yourself with a firearm ?..( sure he can own ..but he can only look at it while being disemboweled)
the Hypocrisy runs so deep wit these assholes its hard to give them any quarter
There’s some pretty unusual circumstances surrounding her shooting and they almost make me wanna put quotation marks around the word shooting.
