I have respect for his wife, who has fought so hard to come back from her horrific injuries.

But I don't respect those who manipulate her injuries to further a political agenda, who do the exact opposite of what they say they believe in, and who then lie about it all. So it goes with Gabby Giffords husband Mark Kelly. Caught buying an AR and then tries to say it was to demonstrate how soft gun regulations are:

It's OK for the intelligentsia (they are smarter and can be trusted) but it's not OK for the great unwashed masses.

Ohhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..............

I wonder what "Most" of the lefties are going to say about this.....

I'm willing to bet they stay far a way from this thread....

However, I will also bet you (OP) get blasted for your link, because the left (most) think britbart is nothing but right propaganda and useless.......

I feel bad for the suffering they've gone through but that ends when they try to force their opinions and beliefs on others.
If he wants to own an AR 15, thats fine although he'd be a hypocrite unless he officially comes out as being opposed to gun banning.
If he was doing it to make a statement, that was kind of pointless and poorly thought out.
Actually he may not be supposed to even be able to purchase one, theres a growing movement to ban many law enforcement and government agencies from purchasing these weapons and only allow them to be sold to civilians and private citizens. The gun manufacturers are starting to fight back and they have the american people on their side.
If the police and federal agencies want them they'll have to buy them someplace where they don't have background checks or they'll have to obtain them illegally.

I hope the PD rejects his "gift" of the AR and its magazines. Given their current market values, most Joe Sixpacs likely wouldn't be able to afford such largesse. Must be nice to be a part of the upper-crust pushing decisions that affect us mere commoners.

According to his words he did it to make an anti-gun point.

Maybe, but that's the story. The OP seems to think he bought it because he is a hipocrite.
