“The NRA could have chosen to be a voice for the vast majority of its own members who want common-sense, reasonable safeguards on deadly firearms, but instead it chose to defend extreme pro-gun positions that aren't even popular among the law-abiding gun owners it represents.”

Bull Crap statement!

Liberals always put their political agenda ahead of freedom.

100% of the NRA members I know (which is almost everyone I know) want criminals punished, crazy people treated, and guns on the hip of every law-abiding citizen who wants to carry one.

Mark, I'm really disappointed to find out you are just another ignorant, blithering idiot.

“Gabby and I are extremely disappointed by the NRA’s defiant and delayed response to the massacre of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School,” Mark Kelly said in a statement.”

Does it look like I give a F*** what you think. The Bolsheviks are trotting everybody out now to shill for them.

Astronaut or not, this guy is an embarrassment every time he opens his mouth. I’m sorry for his wife’s injuries, but she was also an embarrassment. Her only memorable moment in congress when when she tried to make a grandstand play for a media soundbite by asking Gen. David Patreus (during his testimony before the house) what he was doing to reduce the carbon footprint of the army in Afghanistan.

And did this jackass rip the media, Pelosi and Pals who tried to blame Rush, talk radio. Palin etc?

Funny how people were to blame in his instance, but guns are somehow the problem here.

What a loser.

Mark Kelly is an active astronaut with NASA. He should be relieved
of his duty immediately.

delayed response...

Yeah, how stupid to wait for the authorities to do a thorough investigation before invoking politics(including code pink)into the discussion.

Too bad someone in the crowd didn’t have a CCW.

Perhaps they could have taken out Loughner before he got to the rep.

We have tried Firearms Prohibition.

It has not worked.

What the left has proven is that if you are unarmed, you are defenseless, and if you are defenseless, you are very likely to be a victim. Time and time again we have proven that law enforcement is not there to prevent violent crime but to draw chalk outlines of the victims.

It is time to allow schools to hire armed security if they so choose or to allow principals and teachers who want to undergo training and certification in firearms to do do and carry if they so desire.

I don’t think he plans on hiding behind his wife.

I think he plans on pimping her the way Sarah Brady pimped her husband.

These libs are nauseating.
