A couple of days ago, I heard a
news report stating that former
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' husband,
Mark Kelly, had recently bought an
AR15. Since the tragic shooting incident in which the Congresswoman and a dozen others were wounded and six were killed, both her and her husband have been outspoken proponents of the need for more
gun control, including a ban on so-called "
assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines.

Therefore, Kelly's purchase of the AR15 seems hypocritical. When asked about it, he claimed he bought the rifle to "make a point about
background checks" and will turn the rifle over to police. My question is what point is he trying to make ? Does he have a criminal background that would preclude him from purchasing a gun legally and wanted to see he would get caught ? Has he been convicted of
domestic violence or had a
restraining order issued against him and wanted to test the NICS system ? What's the deal ? I don't get it.
Oh, by the way, one more thing - I saw where Kelly recently purchased a .45 caliber pistol, too. However, he says he has no plans to turn it over to police, like the AR15. He's keeping it.
Hmmm. Keeping it, huh ?
Personally, my opinion is that this is another example of liberal Democrat logic telling the rest of us to "do as I say, not as I do."
