"We wanted desperately to have background checks on every gun that was sold," Sallie Badger said. "And Bill just made that his mission."
Thank you for your service and sacrifices colonel.
May you Rest in Peace sir. Salute
RIP.
I find this very odd. Giffords’ husband and apparently Badger both have placed an emphasis on background checks...allegedly in response to the shooting.
But - Loughner passed a background check.
So why on earth would these two emphasize background checks? It would have done nothing....NOTHING...to stop Loughner.
Never let a crisis go to waste, I guess.
Giffords REFUSED armed escort offers from both the Tucson Police and Pima County Sheriffs Office. Betcha didn’t know that. She survived. 6 died without that protection.
