Gabby Giffords’ gun control group Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS) is urging opposition to a repeal of the gun ban for military veterans.

On March 16 Breitbart News reported that the House voted to repeal the gun ban for military veterans and ARS is asking gun controllers to convince their Senators not to follow suit.

ARS posted a link that helps gun controllers write a letter to their Senators. The text of the link says, “Write a letter to your Senators saying that you OPPOSE legislation that would prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from submitting mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Checks System,”

Hmmmm. So, anyone suppose that gabby is able to do her own finances these days? Since her "incident" caused permanent disruptive/diminished mental capacity would one think that any firearms should be removed from her domicile? Especially since mark obviously is also suffering diminished mental capacity due to the alien probe he apparently had inserted during one of his shuttle missions. Just sayin'.

Where in the Constitution does it say a Vet can’t own guns?

Here's your "responsible solution", Gabby:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be inringed."

Stick that in your hash pipe and smoke it!

This astronaute is a disgrace. He is good to go but not vets. shows you the mindset at Nasa.

Nasa should be shut down and the military should run the rocket program. It is a syphoning agency.

So the law as it exists now would clearly apply to Gabby’s ex-Navy, deranged nut-case husband.

And if his sock puppet, Gabby, was a veteran the law would apply to her too.

The law allows the VA to take a vet’s firearms if he requests treatment for PTSD. The end result is that fewer vets will request treatment. I know several guys with PTSD and they have problems sleeping and loud noises make them anxious. Should that be grounds for them to loose their civil rights?

Elected officials swear to uphold the Constitution, not subvert it.

Mark Kelly is a disgusting disgrace to NASA, but more so to the United States Navy from which he retired with the rank of Captain.

Yes, that's right: he's a veteran. No, he doesn't show you the mindset at NASA. Nor does he show you the mindset at the US Navy.

Just in case anyone was in doubt, the mask has come off. Actually, it was off LONG ago with these folks and others in the “gun safety” lobby - they want to ban guns entirely, and they’re willing to do it one small salami slice at a time. Picking off vets, most of whom own firearms and teach their kids and grandkids to use them, is a smart idea. Evil, but smart.

I sincerely hope that someone finds something really damning about these 2 slimeballs, something criminal that will permanently remove them from the public eye.

Here are some Responsible Solutions:

Stop importing muslims.

Deport all militant muslims.

Deport Hiaspanic/Latino gang members.

Deport illegals.

Don’t allow the uninformed and stupid to vote.

Neuter welfare queens and their boyfriends.

Don’t allow mad-dog liberals to have guns, knives, baseball bats, axe handles, empty wine bottles, matches, cigarette lighters, or gasoline.

Recreational hunting is a powerful way to integrate returning soldiers back into civilian life. It is an acceptable outlet for their skills which demands patience and discipline. It is also an opportunity to develop social connections and build friendships.

If returning soldiers are prevented from having firearms, this beneficial activity will be denied to them.

I don't need his permission or right to have a gun. Being a victim, like McCain, is not an authority. The are the opposite. Bizzaro World.

= = =

You have fallen into their trap.

If you read or quote The Constitution, you have mental issues.

No guns for you.

Is that an endangered vegetable?

Is it destined to evolve into “The Cure for AIDS”?

Sadly, these days, it just may be the mindset of both. Purty durn disgusting. I was involved in both. Navy one tour, subcontractor to NASA for 36 years.
