Giffords PAC features hypothetical texts during school lockdown in ad against Colorado rep

A new ad targeting Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.) for his gun-friendly policies features a hypothetical text conversation between a mother and child during a school lock down.

The ad was released by a PAC run by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). According to Politico, the PAC intends to spend almost $1.5 million on TV and digital ads against the vulnerable congressman.

Democrats are optimistic about their chances in November against Coffman, who is facing Jason Crow in Colorado’s 6th district. Cook Political Report rates the race as a “toss up.”

The ad warns viewers that the pro-gun National Rifle Association supports Coffman and has given more money to him than any other member of Colorado's congressional delegation. The ad mainly features a text conversation between a fictional mother and child during a lockdown.

"Someone has a gun and they can't find him," the fictional child, Emily, texts.

The mother responds, "A gun???? Are you ok?"

"Yeah but I'm so scared. I love u. Tell dad I love him," texts Emily.

"I'm on my way...Try to stay quiet," the mother texts.

When Emily types, but does not send a message, the mother asks, "Emily?" then types, "Emily I love you so much."

The number of ads promoting stricter gun control have drastically increased this year as compared to the midterm elections four years ago, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. The increase follows a number of mass shootings and the rise of the student-led March For Our Lives movement.

The Journal found that 102,636 pro-gun control ads ran from Jan. 1 to Sept. 9, which is 22 times more than how many aired in 2014.

Anti-gun control ads have also increased, but not by as wide a margin, only slightly more than doubling since 2014.

A simple solution would be to just pass a law making mass shootings and murder illegal. Oh, wait.....

Giffords is a useful puppet. She does what her handlers and caretakers tell her to do. She trusts them, and cannot do otherwise.

Her handlers are evil people who are using a helpless person as a figurehead to promoted their agenda.

They want you disarmed and unable to resist predators. They are the predators.

I’m your puppet.
Make me do right, or make me do wrong
I’m your puppet.”

Gabs and her space brain husband need to think about about 3000 a day throwing babies in the trash or selling the parts like chicken via abortion. Secondly most mass murders by gun are due to liberals/the mentally ill/liberal policies (all one in the same).

“Let’s not forget that this woman experienced a traumatic brain injury.”

First, she would have to have a brain in order to receive a TBI.

Her name may be on the letterhead, but she isn’t the one in “control” of this group.

Her communist POS traitor husband is the one pimping her out like a life sized Howdy Doody puppet. I doubt he’s around to drain her drool cup or change her Depends though.
