On March 4 Breitbart News reported on Gabby Giffords’ renewed push to extend background checks to gun shows so that everyone has to pass the same background check her attacker passed. Media outlets and gun control proponents went apoplectic, exposing the fact that they had assumed Giffords would be able to push background checks as a solution to “violence” without her claims be scrutinized.

They last time I posted about Gabby was that her husband should have showed her how to duck.

A Freeper was very offended.

Hope that doesn’t happen again.

The biggest problem we, as Conservatives, face is that while we deal in FACTS, liberals and their kind deal in EMOTIONS.

FACTS are cold, impersonal. EMOTIONS are warm, fuzzy.

Now if you can mix FACTS and EMOTIONS .......

I predict a future Ann Coulter column completely eviscerating Giffords.

If you're a victim and you step in the political arena pushing an agenda that's overwhelmingly opposed by the public, then you better be prepared to deal with the consequences.

That's what the 9/11 widows found out the hard way, and Max Cleland.
