Former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is urging key senators to support expanded background checks for gun purchases in new television ads airing in Iowa and her home state of Arizona.

The ads specifically target Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ), two lawmakers who have made statements supporting background checks in the past. The ads include black and white images after high-profile mass shootings at a Colorado movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school.

Police chiefs are not “in the front lines”. They are ass-kissing politicians.

Only MSNBC could come up with that headline for a Giffords piece.

Oh man! I sure hope she didn’t use a target graphic in her targeting! The MSM doesn’t even try anymore.

Politically-appointed, long-withdrawn from useful service police chiefs are on the “front lines”?

WTF?

No one should need governmental permission to exercise natural rights.

Love how they’re targeting Republicans rather than the Red State Dems who are up for reelection in 2014.

That alone is proof positive that the Giffords are engaged in partisanship, rather than honest issues advocacy. Go after Republicans instead of putting vulnerable Democrats at risk.

I’m sorry but this b*tch needs to STFU and go away already. She’s wearing out the sympathy we had for her.

Of course liberals have no respect for human dignity, these are the same people who favor late term abortion..no one has ever asked Giffords if she was SO terrified for her life before the shooting, how come at her little event she didn’t have ONE security guard protecting her..perhaps if there had been someone armed at her event the shooting would have been prevented..instead she had those people as sitting ducks..I feel bad that Giffords was shot but my sympathy went out the window when she and her hubby went after our 2nd Amendment rights, oh and blaming Sarah Palin for what happened

I thought under the “new political tone” directive the word “target” and names like Giffords and Gabby were never again to be used in the same breath...

Funny how the weeks following the assaination attempt on Reagan were not filled with this kind of nonsense. Anyone here remember Reagan talking about gun control?

Gabrielle Giffords is not doing this.

People are doing this in her name.

Using her, Using her incident, for their own schemes.

She is just a tool being used by people who to extend their own profit making.They should be ashamed of themselves.
Americans for Responsible Solutions will happily accept donations I am sure.

If only we could get more on our side to call them natural rights instead of constitutional rights.

How Tasteless...

The gun killed those people. It wasn't the person who was doing the shooting. Giffords, STFU, Please!!

Lanza got the gun from his mom's safe. She had the guns locked up.

Mark Kelly got the Idea watching some of Jeff Duhnam’s shows.

Now he parades around with his Mentally Handicapped wife teathered to strings and a stick to move for the cameras.
