“I know the value of an assault weapon, and it’s to kill very quickly any crazy AR-15 armed nut bent on massacreing kids about to enter a school,” I added.

Mr Gabby is in this for money and attention. His wife was shot with a pistol, not an “assault weapon”. He’s another Sara Brady, a hanger-on exploiting a personal tragedy for profit. He is scum.

In a sense, he’s right. It is, first and foremost in the minds of the obamas, feinsteins, schumers and so on, about their inexorable march toward absolute power, through the creation of a massive imbalance of force between the government and its employers. Very similar to a cabal of capos conspiring to overthrow and assassinate the don in order to split all the goodies among themselves.

Less people would be killed on the street if we were all marched to a gulag. I decline!

If he’s an astronaut, I assume he is former or current military, right? And he doesn’t know that a firearm can be reloaded in 2-3 seconds? Huh?

He was an A-6 pilot on the USS Midway in Japan. Except for the Seals and EOD guys, the Navy isn't crazy about shipboard people having personal firearms. There is very little firearms training in flight school.

"I live in AZ CD 2, Gabby Giffords old district. The talk here is that Mr. Kelly wants a political future, and he is using his wife’s issue to obtain it. The question is: what office will he seek - her old congressional seat, AZ governor (2014) or John McCain’s seat (2016). Ms. Giffords has achieved sainthood down here and he easily could capitalize on it.

Do you mean something like the brady gang?

“This is about public safety.”

I have some health problems and the only I can keep my wife safe is with a firearm of my choice. I guess mr kelly was to big a wuss to protect his wife.

BS he doesn't know whether the ban worked or not, there's a lie right there. It's easier to say he doesn't know than to admit it didn't work.

But he has absolute moral authority because his wife was shot. So just do what he says and don't sweat the details. It's a shame.

How long would it take before every non-communist in the country was classified as having an “anti-social personality disorder”?

Mark Kelly’s had nothing original to say.

He simply regurgitated all the same talking points we have heard over and over again and that have been debunked over and over again.

This man is a puppet who once wore a spacesuit.

That’s the impression I get...This is all the predicate to his own political aspirations. Just like Sandra Fluck. I foudn him rather unimpressive in the Wallace interview. He got all soft and disoriented when asked about any legislation’s chance for passage.

Simply put, Kelly said, less people would die due to gun violence if the legislation were put in place.

Not 'Less people would die'.

But 'less people would die due to gun violence'.

See, stabbings, strangulations, poisonings, bludgeonings, suffocations, drownings, death by fire, crashing into victims with cars, all these are FINE. It's *gun* violence. *THAT'S* the problem.

Y'see.

I despise Kelly, but this is unfair, and a heinous comment. Almost wondering if it should be flagged for removal.

...”Wonder how much Kelly is making on this tour.”...

It is difficult not to wonder about those things, isn’t it? I watched the softball interview done by liberal Chris Wallace and I was not impressed with him or with Kelly.

I’d say your experience would have been different on a Cruiser, Destroyer or Frigate. We trained the whole crew often on everything from 50 cal MGs and smaller. We had a privately owned sniper rifle on the bridge because Surf-Pac wouldn’t give us one.
