Gabby Giffords Marks 10th Anniversary of Return to Congress, Pushes Gun Control that Did Not Stop Her Attacker

Gabby Giffords on Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of her return to Congress by pushing gun control that did not stop her attacker from acquiring the firearm he used to almost take her life.

Giffords was shot in Tucson, Arizona, on January 8, 2011. She returned to Congress on August 1 of that same year.

On March 4, 2015, Breitbart News pointed out that Gifffords’ attacker passed a background check to acquire the gun he used in the heinous act. The Christian Science Monitor noted the attacker bought the gun at a Tucson gun store and the manager of the store made clear the background check did not turn up any red flags.

Yet Giffords and her husband, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), have spent the years since her attack pushing background checks.

Moreover, on August 1, 2021, Axios quoted Giffords’ describing Congressional inaction on background check expansion as “a huge disappointment.”

Anyone with half a brain, no not her, her useless POS hubby and disgrace to his naval uniform, should stop trying to rewrite the bill of rights. Which rights, in case you missed it, according to pedo joe, are not absolute. Thinking the 13th and 19th supporters might object to that idea.

A conservative federal judge was also murdered that day. Unfortunately, he chose not to carry his handgun that day.

It’s not all about you, Giffords.

She and her husband have never worked harder on anything.

They've only had 10yrs to get gun control passed.

If you could make a small contribution we can get this done.< /sarcasm >

There no pile of excrement that a Democrat will not cling to in order to be elected or stay that way.

Of course, what else can an untalented idiot do to live?

“Puleeeezzzeeee Arizona, toss this POS out next year.”

Do you really think we elected him? What’s with this religious faith in elections some people have?
