Mark Kelly is an asswipe. The right stuff? Not.
Too bad he didn’t buy those weapons prior to his wife being shot.
Naaawww....
is he still in NASA?
he must want to keep his cushy job.
The funny thing is, his wife was shot with a semiautomatic handgun. Of the two guns he bought last week, he now says (after being caught) that he’ll turn the rifle over to the Tuscon Police, but he is going to keep the semiautomatic handgun for himself.
Shouldn’t he be more concerned about the semiautomatic handgun, since that is the weapon that wounded his wife?
Riiiiiggggghhhhhttttttt . . . . . . . . . . . and, I'm a Cheeto with a computer!
if this was a stunt to show how easy it was to get, and that he plannbed to turn it in to cops, why didn’t he bring the media with him, and some cops he was going to eventually hand it over to?
how would we have heard him lecturing about this and how would he have gotten this message out otherwise? he was silent until exposed.
and there’s your answer.
Forgetting for a moment that this is a publicity stunt and therefore despicable, shouldn’t it be relatively easy for an otherwise law abiding citizen to purchase an AR-15? Were the Monty Python cardinals supposed to leap out and subject him to the Spanish Inquisition?
Kin ah git me a huntin’ licen’ here too?
All he really proved is that a retired Navy Captain and NASA astronaut can pass a background check, which is as it should be.
They wouldn’t let him take the AR home so he went to Lowe’s and bought a ball peen hammer, duct tape, plastic sheeting and a bag of Depends. Said he was going on a road trip.
Mark Kelly has officially taken the title of ‘Biggest Douchebag Astronaut’ from John Glenn.
