Hopefully not a dupe...

Article here.

From what I read in another article, they're not after particular weapons but they are talking magazine capacity limits. There is a mental health focus, though.

Mixed bag.

Dupe. There is a thread in OT.

Didn't these two tools just have a meeting with obama?


ETA: Why, yes, they did! There's a coincidence for ya!

Idiots. Gifford was pro gun prior, and her husband, a former Astronaut, didn't have a problem taking money for his involvement in defense. This is simply a hypocritical pandering move on their part to court favor from the Grand Mulla, Hussein Obama.

Whatever.

Hmm, so you're saying that getting shot in the head would never cause a person to reevaluate his/her beliefs. Go ahead and disagree with the message, but personal attacks on that couple seem likely to backfire (i.e., create negative feelings for those making the personal attacks).

Precisely why obama picked them . . . . . .

And another formerly pro-gun Dem becomes a turncoat.

Wow. A little over the top don't you think? An astronaut and a rep. who got shot in the head??? Really??? It's comment like these that make me wonder about team NRA.

I'd hardly call Gifford's progun. I belive she had something like a D or C- rating fron the gun orgs.

Agreed.

I agree with you that the comments are over the top and counter productive. No doubt. However, I want to add, don't blame "team NRA" until the NRA does it. :-)

A lot of people do different things post-trauma. A post-trauma victim does not always have the wisest but rather just another opinion.

[jtyner]

Are they anti "gun violence" or are they for anti-gun violence? I couldn't tell from the thread title.

I caught a small piece of an interview with them yesterday and they were saying that they both believe in the 2A but want to figure out how to keep guns out of the wrong hands. That's about all I caught.
