The Mr. MacKinlay saw right through Kelly's BS, and refused to be used for some smarmy social commentary. This cheap trick Markypoo tried to pull reminds me of this:

About 20 yrs ago this gun violence death clock was put up in front of the World Trade Center, of all places. by the Gun Fighters of America, a bunch of Brady Campaign wannabes. The funding for this eyesore came from a scam artist, Robert Brennan, who eventualy did time for securities fraud. Yeah, if I bilked lots of old folks out of their life savings, I'd be, shall we say, CONCERNED if their kids and grandkids had easy access to firearms.

How about a bj klinton rape clock?
Gabby is proof that liberals don’t need brains.

Kelly filled out the 4473 attesting that he was buying the weapons for himself but stated openly that he was giving the AR-15 to a third party. He committed a felony! He should now be tried, convicted and imprisoned for falsifiying the record. He was a “straw buyer”!

[Michael.SF.]

Classify this one as mixed feelings: I don't believe the gun seller has the right to rescind the sale based on the intent (that being a legal use of the AR15) of Mr. Kelly. On the other hand, this is the guy I would go to buy my next gun, were I in Arizona.

Could you imagine an abortion clock?

I guess they couldn’t or didn’t want to put the percentage numbers up there of number of guns as a percentage of “gun killings” because it would show the miniscule number that it is huh? Guess they thought New Yorkers wouldn’t be able to figure it out on their own. Wonder what the number of “Guns in America” is now? Probably well over 300 mil.

Anyway, if the gun shop has stopped the sale because of questionable intent, will this be another case of the batfe NOT going after an individual (NON-enforcement!) for attempting to buy a weapon under false pretenses? They’d probably pay one of us peons a visit but they’ll tell mark kelly-giffords just to not do it again if they say anything at all now that he is in the privileged/protected upper class.

If they sold it to him knowing he lied on the 4473, they would be committing a felony.

Mark Kelly, by his admission the gun was not for personal use and his intention was to buy it for someone else, admitted committing a felony when he lied on the form.

I think a DA needs to look into his actions.

[depressed in 06]

Kelly's actions may have been more valid if he had taken his new gun out and shot people, or, had been a felon. In Kelly's America obtaining a gun under false pretenses would be a felony.

It should be easy for law abiding citizens to obtain a gun.

[IYAS9YAS]

Wow, when you divide the gun killings by the number of guns, you get 0.00009599 - or 0.0096% Not even 1/100th of a percent of gun deaths to guns.

[Michael.SF.]

Maybe he was just downsizing from an AR47?

That's the WTC? Is doesn't look right. The top has two lines between the windows that end in curves at each end of the top floor. The two buildings, I believe, are kitty corner from each one. Finally, the two corners look rounded where in the WTC they are flat and at what appear to be 45º. Like this:

I don't know, maybe it's perspective??

[hummingbird]

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but it looks like the sign doesn't put the number of deaths between homicides and deaths dealt by law abiding persons defending life or property.

Don't have glasses on yet and brain is still in wake-up mode so maybe I'm not understanding the sign.

[SkyDancer]

Need and abortion clock.

IF they were honest, they would show how many of those gun deaths were suicides, how many were accidents, how many were criminals shot by criminals, how many were criminals shot by cops, and how many were innocent victims shot by criminals or cops. You would then see that the number of deaths of innocent victims from gunshot wounds is a small fraction of the total number of gun-related deaths. The largest number of gun deaths (over half the total) were suicides.
