Mark Kelly’s story on AR-15 purchase prompts skeptical open letter

“Gabby Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, announced that he bought an assault weapon to make a point about gun control,’ the video caption explains. “He plans to sell it over state lines.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notices another incredible spin an already unbelievable story has taken.

Counting chickens are we? Well, we all know why.

Too bad Arizona Republicans keep putting up uniparty swamp squishes.

Did I mention Kelly relies on political extortion to dragoon corporations into doing his bidding?

On the Outs

 Outspoken Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a leader in the effort by states to fight President Joe Biden’s open-border policies and liberal election “reforms,” is joining the 2022 race to replace new Sen. Mark Kelly. [More]

The Travelin' Mark & Gabby Magic Thinking Show

Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and her husband, retired NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, are announcing a statewide gun safety effort called Virginia Coalition for Common Sense. [More]

Fitting two such glaring contradictions back-to-back is a pretty neat trick in and of itself.

Gabby Giffords pushes prior restraint without due process for Michigan gun law

For her part, Giffords has not explained, if a man with a gun poses such a heightened risk for his “domestic partner,” why she stands by while hubby Mark Kelly buys an “ASSAULT WEAPON!!!” and a .45 caliber real “weapon of war,” and then comes up with a story that contradicts itself, first saying he’s going to turn it in to the police and then admitting his intent to sell the rifle across state lines. [More]

"Gun owners" Gabby and Mark must be immune to all those fits of violence that make lesser beings like you and me so untrustworthy.

I Might Go Along with 'Less Immediately Toxic'

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). [More]

I'd hardly go that far.

Unmitigated Bullshit

 Poll Echoes Industry Data: Hispanic-Americans Value Gun Rights [More]

Ah, the old correlation/causation logical fallacy. If owning and enjoying guns is the benchmark, we have no greater friends than David Chipman and Mark Kelly.

Go ahead, Larry Keane. Give us credible alternative numbers on voting percentages. 30% being for something still means 70% are against it, and that's a landslide.

Take the challenge. I dare you.

They're pulling the same crap about New York.

Figures Field & Stream is involved.

A Good Democrat?

"The NRA is proud to endorse Chris Koster and we urge Missouri's gun owners and sportsmen to get out this November and vote to elect a governor with a proven record of fighting to preserve the Second Amendment." [More]

You mean the "active supporter of Hillary Clinton"? The guy who donated big money (he's in the "between $10K - $25K category) to the Clinton Foundation, which promotes, among other things, a glowing eulogy for Sarah Brady, advice from Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords to graduating students to "make our communities safer from gun violence," and a boast about how the [Bill] Clinton Administration made "communities safer [through] commonsense gun laws"?

The guy who rolled over for Obama's executive actions on guns despite a clear duty to defend state interests?

The guy who remains intentionally off the record on the Norquist/Bloomberg Amnesty Alliance? Thank goodness that -- aside from guaranteeing a "pathway to citizenship" Democrat supermajority allowing legislatures to pass whatever gun edicts they like and assuring friendly court appointments to uphold them -- this has nothing at all to do with that "single issue."  Right, Messrs. LaPierre and Cox?

Oh, but he's on our side! He saw which way the political winds were blowing and backed a "right to bear arms amendment" (after voters showed what they expected)!  He'd never betray us if political circumstances created different opportunities, like, say, Kirsten Gillibrand and Harry Reid (and plenty more I could name) did, would he?  Those were just flukes when NRA allowed its members to be used and discarded, right?

Besides, the Republican he's running against, former SEAL and Purple Heart/Bronze Star recipient Eric Greitens must be a gunsquish RINO, right?

Ummm... no. No. And no.

So what kind of game is the Vulcan chessmaster playing here?

One thing you can be sure of: It will rely heavily on pawns.

UPDATE: WarOnGuns Correspondent MM calls our attention to a Koster post at The Zelman Partisans. I see they too have noticed a discrepancy with those orange cards -- as have I.

Before you go over there, you might want to have this playing in the background.

"Gun Owners" for "Gun Control"

Kurt has featured two despicable examples recently, Charles "Fudd" Eisendrath and Bill "Probably Prohibited" Maher.  And we've talked in the past about astonishingly hypocritical Mark Kelly.

It's nothing new. I trust everyone remembers Sarah Brady straw pur... uh..."gifting" a sniper rifle weapon of war suitable only for killing people to her son, who did not go though a background check, ostensibly then making him x times (the number keeps changing) more likely to blow away himself and others than he had been previously...?  And more recently, we met a "proud defender of communist union agitato...uh...the Second Amendment"...

And who can forget "Average Joe," or at least that his handlers have made sure we have no idea who he really is...?

I wish more FFLs would follow Cope Reynolds' lead, and if they recognize one of these quisliings in their store, refuse their business and just tell them to get out and go to hell, rallying their other customers to express their disapproval as well.

Mark Kelly Owes Complete Disclosure on Chicom Money Influence

With all the interest in foreign influence in U.S. elections, it’s not out of line to ask how a retired captain with Chinese connections finds himself with “assets worth up to $27 million.” Not that we can expect the propaganda-preferring DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media) to ask very loudly, it at all… [More]

Well, he does say he's running "a people-powered campaign." The People's Republic is people...

Not Enough

Just two days after Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D) signed expanded background checks into law via Senate Bill 941, Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly are pressing Democrats in Oregon’s legislators to go even further–to pass more gun control while they have the chance. [More]

It's never enough.

Which is why anyone who talks of "compromise" with serial deceivers who lust after your rights is a fool.

There are no "deals." Anything the antis find expendable -- for now -- in order to pick up a piece they value more, they'll go back and recapture later. And they'll call anyone who resists an extremist, and unwilling to compromise.

Anti-Gun Top Cops Epitomize Oath-Breaking ‘Only Ones’

It’s the kind of weasel-wording that doesn’t surprise some of us when we hear it coming from a relatively recent Astroturf “group,” the Law Enforcement Coalition for Common Sense. That's a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mark Kelly’s and Gun-Grabby Gabby Gifford’s Opposite Day “Americans for Common Sense.”  [More]

And you'll note they aren't squawking about “cops only” nationwide carry enabled through LEOSA.

GOA: Tell Trump Petraeus Wrong Secretary of State Choice for Gun Owners

That’s because Petraeus broke his oath to the Constitution and joined with retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal and other veterans to form the Second Amendment-infringing Veterans Coalition for Common Sense. The group is part of retired Captain Mark Kelly’s and Gabby Gifford’s Americans for Responsible Solutions. As with all things Opposite Day “progressive,” there’s nothing “common sense” or “responsible” about it.
