Leading gun-control advocate Mark Kelly warned Republican senators Sunday that trying to block a vote on new firearms legislation that includes universal background checks could hurt their re-election efforts.
Kelly, a former astronaut and Navy captain, directed his remarks to Sens. Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, among five Republican senators who have suggested they will filibuster a debate and full floor vote.
“They should listen to their constituents” and not get in the way of the debate, Kelly told “Fox News Sunday.”

Bolsheviks like Kelly do not have hearts. Make no mistake about it, were the roles reversed, the Communist wife would have used him just as much as he has used her.
Having Kelly advise me about gun control is like Monica Lewinsky advising me about the best cigars out there.
He had no driver’s license at all? So the gunshop broke the law by selling him anything? They deserve a boycott, even after refusing to sell him the AR15. Their license to sell firearms should be revoked.
Ahhhh, I believe they are listening to their constituents. Maybe you, Sen. Kelly, should be listening to yours.
blow it out your a**
Kelly needs to be prosecuted for the attempted straw purchase of the AR-15. He’s doing a Sarah Brady copycat act with his brain damaged wife.
When a man cannot stand up to the Constitution, why listen to his attempts to become the next James Brady? Mark Kelly is nothing more than a manboy taking advantage of a free ride.
While, no doubt, Mr. Kelly has the best interests of Republicans in mind when he warns us like that (LOL), there is a GRAVEYARD of Democrats that lost their positions of power (at all levels of government) by voting wrong on the gun issue - starting with Jack Brooks.
“Brooks’ sponsorship of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which eventually was incorporated with an amendment to ban semi-automatic firearms, probably contributed to his electoral defeat by Republican Steve Stockman, despite Brooks’ life membership in the National Rifle Association[2] and his personal opposition to the ban.”

It’s difficult to think of a SINGLE REPUBLICAN that has lost anything due to supporting the Second Amendment.
Hey Kelly! Get a REAL job you sleazebag!
Isn’t he in the Navy?
Not anymore.
He had a license he had “forgotten” at home (don’t know how he got to the store, it’s a ways from his hoity-toity new ‘hood, the most expensive neighborhood in central Tucson). So, I’m not sure if that delayed the purchase or if he went home to get the DL.... I’d have to check the newspapers again... (will try to do that later today).
Oh he is retired going around the talk shows. Got it. What a gig if you can get it.
Well think about it for a minute. gabby shot, the second person wounded, judge Roll killed, then others.
If a limit on gun magazine sizes had been in force to, say seven rounds, the shooter would probably used a .45 which would have killed Gabby, the second person killed , and Judge Roll would still be dead, then the others after which he pulls his second auto like the Edmond Post Office shooter did.
If limited to a six round revolver, with a .357 Gabby would have been killed, the second person killed and Judge Roll still killed, then three others before he quickly pulls his second revolver on the others.
Now let’s get silly. If he had been limited to a black powder revolver, he might have used a .44. Gabby dead, the second person dead, Judge Roll still dead.
No matter how you toss it up, the first three will definitely get shot with Judge Roll still being killed.
Ditto to what you said. The day is rapidly approaching when rich civilians are going to become “astronauts”.
So a lying, manipulative liberal is attempting to school conservatives on what’s “good for them.”
Another bad product of the killing of of our manned space program. Otherwise this clown would be actually working.
In America, every officer of government is constitutionally-required in Article Six to swear a sacred oath to support the Constitution.
Which means that every elected official’s first constituency, to whom he will be completely accountable, is ALMIGHTY GOD.
You might fool the people for awhile, but you won’t fool the one Who made you.
They ARE listening to their constitutents. Mr. Kelly seems to think DEMOCRAT constituents are the ones to whom Republican Senators should listen, instead.
AKA “Payroll Patriot” this astro-naught jerkoff is on the gov’t dole same as his wifey who I don’t necessarily begrudge//////// just that these zero-brain clones are now gun grabbers and making good money doing it.
Of course, I’m not finding the source right now. It looks like he DID have a TX DL and was refused the purchase. He later came back with some sort of AZ ID. The thing is, he supposedly bought a house here last year, so he’s already breaking the law by not having a valid AZ driver’s license.
But, as per usual, laws are only for the dumb peons, not for the nobility.
(Gabby got away with living in TX the entire time, and just renting a room in a big house — in the district that she never occupied. They are both scammers and cheats.)
How come this astro-naught was not sent up in one our exploding spaceships instead of someone else?
