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.

You expect our side to work for us?
We've got to have a house cleaning first.
The GOP is full of
VILE members who'll sell us out in a heartbeat!
Here are the ones that I know about.
What do we do when our side is full of TRAITORS?
I submit the following for proof.
Check out this link,
"Senate Republicans Willfully and Knowingly Lie to Their Constituents (vote to fund Obamacare)".
The following Senators voted to pass the continuing resolution even though it still funds Obamacare. If any one of those senators tells you they did not vote to fund Obamacare or, in fact, voted against funding Obamacare,they are being mendacious.
They may have voted for Ted Cruzs amendment,
but after it failed,they still knowingly and willingly voted to fund Obamacare.
And now they are lying to their constituents who call them out on it.
Many of these same Senators are also supporting separate legislation to foist a massive tax increase on the American people.

A non blockable debate is called dictation, usually given by dictators.

He can’t be an ASStronaut any more. Space travel has been traded in for Muslim outreach under Obama. He really should place his anger where it belongs.

Rubio would help himself joining a conservative filibuster of gun control.... especially with his support of Illegal Alien Amnesty pretty much killing his chances of the White House

What an a$$. I guarantee that Rand WOULD be listening to his constituents by getting in the way of this travesty. Kentuckians are not giving up their guns nor are they going to support anyone that tries to restrict their God-given right to own them.
Give ‘em hell Rand (and Cruz, Lee, et al.)!

Since when did Mark Kelly suddenly become a “leading gun-control advocate”?? The dork is a total “noob” about the subject reading scripts provided by the “disarmer” faction.

Kelly should be reminded that right now he is an “unprosecuted” gun criminal, by his own admission. Now while he remains “unprosecuted”, this may be subject to change if he keeps pointing out that he is “unprosecuted”.
But him giving advice to others is a poor idea.

Kelly should realize that this probably what they are doing...

Lisa Murkowski is not a Republican. When the Republican voters voted her out and chose another representative, she went independant and bought the election with promises of pork to the Native groups.

Are you referring to mark kelly-giffords the disgrace to the US Navy uniform and to the astronaut “ensemble”. The one who apparently did NOT take his oath as seriously as I did in ‘67? The eco-warrior who violated the Marine Mammal Act without consequence? Just trying to clarify which Clarabelle we are talking about.

Maybe you should get an AZ driver’s license first, since you couldn’t produce one when doing your straw purchase. The peons have to get one right away, yet how long have you pretended to live in AZ now?

He’s considered an expert based solely on the fact his spouse got shot by a nut. Exactly the same credentials Sarah Brady brings to the table, and they still listen to her.
