He is indeed a gun grabbing hypocrite along with the Democrat Party *yawn* WAKE UP!

You'd have to be living in outer space to not know that. Gee I wonder why he doesn't want to talk about it during his campaign? Could it be that he's trying to hide his intentions?

Mark Kelly Hides Gun Control Support During Arizona Senate Run
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...na-senate-run/
Apr 20, 2020 · Mark Kelly Hides Gun Control Support During Arizona Senate Run. Gabby Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly (D), is running against Sen. Martha McSally (R) in Arizona, but is not mentioning his support for California-style gun controls during his campaign. Breitbart News reported that Kelly went to Tucson, Arizona’s Diamondback Police Supply in February 2013 to show how easy it was to acquire a gun.

https://www.opensecrets.org/news/201...rizona-senate/
Kelly, along with Giffords, runs the major gun control-focused group Giffords PAC, which between its hybrid PAC and 501 (c) (4) nonprofit Giffords, spent nearly $7 million to aid Democratic congressional candidates in 2018. In January, Kelly was the target of a draft campaign by the 314 Action Fund, a science-oriented hybrid PAC.
He even tried to prove a point by showing how easy it was to buy an AR15 by making a straw purchase which is against both federal and state laws. Regardless of whether he planned on turning it in. Why wasn't he arrested and prosecuted for violating the types of laws that he supports? What makes him above the law?

Gabby Giffords' Husband Mark Kelly Buys AR-15
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bullet-point/
A Tucson gun store owner has decided to rescind the sale of a military-style rifle to Mark Kelly, the husband of former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, after Kelly said he had intended the purchase...

The couple, both avowed gun owners, have called upon lawmakers to enact legislation closing loopholes in criminal background checks for gun purchasers, limiting the sale of high capacity magazines, limiting the sale of assault weapons, and enforcing stiffer criminal penalties for straw purchasers and gun traffickers.

There isn’t much doubt that Kelly did indeed buy such a weapon, as on 8 March 2013 he posted a photograph of himself making the purchase on his Facebook page along with a descriptive acknowledgement of it. Why he bought the weapon remains a subject of contention, however:
the text of his Facebook post suggested he had impulsively bought the AR-15 not for his own use but to make a point about the laxity of required background checks for such weapons and/or to get the AR-15 out of circulation by turning it over to the police:

BLITZER: Just to be precise, your intention was always to hand over the AR-15 to the police department?

KELLY: Yeah, absolutely, I have no use for a gun like that. From my military experience, it’s important that the military have assault weapons with high-capacity magazines. I really think that the access the public has to these, it’s too easy, as I demonstrated the other day. It’s very easy to buy an assault weapon; they’re readily available. They really shouldn’t be.

LOL, Obama was president for 8 years and we still have our guns. I think the paranoia needs to be toned down a bit. Your guns are just fine.

https://www.azmirror.com/2020/05/21/...vestments-too/

According to her most recent financial disclosure form, which she filed with the U.S. Senate in August 2019, McSally was invested in mutual funds that invest in Chinese companies or bonds issued by China’s communist government. Among those companies is the technology company Tencent, which invested in Kelly’s World View Enterprises and has become the focal point of GOP attacks against the presumptive Democratic nominee.

McSally had between $18,000 and $95,000 invested in the four mutual funds. Those funds have investments in a handful of of Chinese companies: e-commerce giant Alibaba; entertainment and technology conglomerate Tencent; Ping An Insurance; AIA Group, a Hong Kong-based life insurance company; JD.com, an e-commerce company; NetEase, a technology company; China Construction Bank Corp; China Mengniu Dairy; and Chinese government bonds.

Thank you. I think this post can stand to not be deleted right?
I think Trump endorsing her sunk her numbers and will sink her re-election. Just gives me more reasons to vote for Kelly

I think you've sort of missed the point. Your rhetoric does more harm to your cause than you imagine.

Actually the China thing is an issue but probably overblown but this "World View" business that Kelly co founded is a problem:

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news...re/5187587002/

He got Pima County to spend $15 million to build a building for Kelly's company and another couple million to hire employees for Kelly's company. And apparently World View has all sorts of problems reaching the goals it promised Pima County. It is a concern that Pima County is doing sweetheart deals like this with taxpayer money. And its a concern that Kelly seems to be horrible at running businesses. But McSally being a Trumper is also a problem. Another lesser of two evils choice.
