Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS), the PAC of Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly focused on gun control, is being forced to refund money to contributors after being caught accepting illegal donations.

One of the illegal donations was tied to Bette Midler's private family foundation and another to the Rupa and Bharat B. Bhatt Foundation. Midler's foundation gave $10,000 and the Bhatt foundation contributed $5,000.

According to The Center For Public Integrity, both donations were "strictly prohibited" by the IRS:

They should change their name to Anti-Gun Nazis For Reprehensible Tax Violations.

“Strictly prohibited by the IRS”..........now that is funny. Gabby the Martyr will get a little pat on the butt and a way to go girl.

*sigh* I am truly sorry for what Mrs. Giffords went through, as I would be for anyone who was shot even accidentally, let alone by a deranged lunatic.

HOWEVER; her continual rampage against firearms and our Second Amendmant rights... I dunno. Maybe the stress endured due to the incident was just too much after all, and she is now operating on less than a full six-pack because of it.

Bows and arrows have been around for several centuries, knives for thousands of years, and ordinary wooden or stone clubs for tens of thousands of years. All have their usage, and all have the potential for misuse, but attempting to outlaw them is as delusional as attempting to make horse-riding illegal. Their usefulness will forever overcome the ridiculous overconcern for their potential as weapons.

And yes, actually, horses can kill.

the money should be confiscated just like the DEA and ATF does, it was illegally given and taken, neither party has a right to it now...

burn in hell bitch

[smokingfrog]

Is there some kind of limit to how much money you can contribute to a 501(c)(3) — or whatever?

[NonValueAdded]

Hey, she has brain damage, give her a break!

Brain Damage from being shot? No, braim damage from being a democRAT

[grumpygresh]

SWAT team ‘em for their Federal offence. That’s what they really want; only government should have guns.

[gov_bean_ counter]

[Alas Babylon!]

Ewww... The bloom is certainly off the “Rose”, isn’t it?
