Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an assault weapon, he called it)which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws. Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol at a gun store in Tucson, Arizona
Notice that when a citizen buys a semi-automatic version, it is an “assault rifle”, when Homeland Defense buys 6,000 fully-automatic versions, they are “Personal Defense Weapons”.
I hope this guy keeps pulling this kind of crap - from what I have read, while people feel sorry for Gabby, her husband is wearing REALLY thin, with epithets like poser, hypocrite, media-hog, etc. Like all the other opportunists, he has no sense of when to stop.
