On April 12, Gabby Giffords’s protégé and gun control supporter Ron Barber announced that he is not going to challenge pro-gun Representative Martha McSally (R-AZ-2) for her seat in 2016.

Too bad McSally isn a pro-amnesty McCainiac.
The same guy who has been shamelessly pimping his wife out to various anti-Second Amendment groups?
Yup. One and the same. We expect the travellin’ puppet show to be front and center in 2016 along with the momunists demand to push the intergalactic background check initiative on the ballot here in NV. And lots of loose change supplied by nannie bloomers. They may even do a “weekend at bernie’s” appearance with sarah brady.
McSally is a huge disappointment. AZ is well on its way to voting itself part of Mexico.
What has she done to incur your wrath, Noob?
Explain yourself!
McSally is on board the Cheap Labor Express. She has joined the McCain, Graham, Flake faction of the GOP who supports surrendering the rule of law and our country to the illegal aliens and their employers.
You are trying to blame the republican for the political make-up of the district which leads me to think that you don't know the history of the district.
Its a moderate/centrist district that was held for a long time by moderate republican Jim Kolbe who also backed expansion of guest worker programs and supported Bush's amnesty to guest worker. Hardliners make no distinction between permanent visas, temporary visas, and illegals, they are all just Mezcuns. Kolbe was also an open homosexual.
Graf(GOP) tried, as a social conservative and immigration hardliner, to unseat Kolbe, but failed.
Then Kolbe would announce his retirement and would pick his replacement, a moderate, who he knew could win the district. But a second moderate would enter the primary so the moderate vote was split, allowing the rightwing extremist Graf to win the primary.
Meanwhile, Giffords, who was a republican turned democrat, who was serving in the state lege, recognized early on that the GOP was going split the district allowing Graf to win, which she thought would allow her to win as a moderate democrat, so she entered the race for this safe GOP seat, and kicked Graf's ass(54 to 42).
The district has been a safe GOP district for a long time, that was temporarily lost, and won back because Giffords had to retire.
Maybe you can get Graf to run for it again?
