Gabby Giffords launches new gun control campaign, and it's all about women (+video)

Former US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) of Arizona began a nine-state tour Tuesday in Maine focusing on the need for tougher gun control measures to protect women and children.

Ms. Giffords, who was severely wounded in a 2011 shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that killed six people, has become a key figure in the national gun control campaign. The campaign highlights the increasingly prominent role women have played in both sides in the gun control debate – particularly since the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings in 2012.

"Launches" 9 state tour. Wonder if mark kelley-giffords helped write the header for this. Kinda like he probably wrote most of the book with the help of nanny bloomers and maybe a quick reference look at the gun violence messaging guide book:

Let me guess. It goes a little something like this...”If you let the NRA have their way, the streets will be filled with the blood of dead women.”

Everyone needs a hobby. I hope she enjoys her trip and gets to make lots of new friends.

Meanwhile, guns are VERY much a woman’s issue. They are the great equalizer. It’s why feminists tend to be pro gun rights.

YUP. That’s exactly what happened in FL when the passed the CCW laws back in the late 80’s. Blood and bodies everywhere. Oh, wait. That’s what DIDN’T happen. Never mind.

All these new women gun owners need to learn the most important lesson about controlling your gun.

Always use both hands!

I live in Maine and if Gabby Giffords was in Maine on Tuesday, this is the first I’ve heard of her “visit.”

Maine is gun country so, aside from a collection of assorted moonbats, her misguided and nonsensical pleas will fall on deaf ears here in The Pine Tree state.

Of course he did. Gabby has recovered to the point of being able to parrot whatever talking points her husband gives her, but I doubt she has much capacity beyond that.

Notice the CSM's use of the term "intimate partners." This is another liberal attempt to lump together husbands and live-in boyfriends. In reality, the number of women killed by their husbands is very small, while the number of women killed by live-in boyfriends is much larger. The problem is irregular living arrangements, not guns or lawfully-married husbands.

How about this? “Gabby”, STFU you whining, deluded piece of dung.

Gee, I am in a sour frame of mind today.

Swarming the Defense—that is all these people know to do. Outrage upon outrage until normal people just give up and go to hide in the woods.
