Gabby Giffords says the quiet part out loud

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords saw her political career, as it was going, put to an end by a madman. No one thinks what happened to her was justified, but it happened.

It’s not surprising that she recovered and started a gun control group. I don’t think anyone was overly shocked by that.

However, many of Giffords’ supporters have argued over and over again that people like her respect the Second Amendment, they just want what they term “common sense” gun control.

The problem is that Gabby didn’t get that memo.

As we wrap our interview in her office, I ask how she keeps coming back to a challenge so deeply ingrained in politics. She pauses for 12 pregnant seconds.

“No more guns,” she says.

Ambler, her aide and adviser, tries to clarify that she means no more gun violence, but Giffords is clear about what she’s saying. “No, no, no,” she says. “Lord, no.” She pauses another 32 seconds. “Guns, guns, guns. No more guns. Gone.”

An aide tried to say what she meant was something like Australia, but that’s not what she said.

Further, based on quotes throughout the piece, her mind is sharp enough that if it were, she’d have said it. She didn’t. She never mentioned Australia. No, she said, “No more guns.”

In fact, she apparently said it twice.

What Giffords did was say the quiet part out loud.

We’ve long argued that gun control advocates’ endgame was the complete disarmament of the civilian population. They might not be advocating for that explicitly at the moment, but that’s where the incrementalism was going to invariably lead.

We were called crazy, paranoid, and a few things not fit to print.

Sure, just like when they say they want “separation of church and state”, what they really want is “no more Christians”.

What people forget is that the nut case that shot her had complaints turned into the local police who failed to act and bring him in for 72 hour evaluation.

That is why that police chief made so much noise about it. He was covering his ass.

But, that does not matter to Giffords. That gun shot her all by itself.

This woman is not talking in pregnant pauses for effect. She unfortunately has speech difficulties from being shot. She will never fully recover.

And I think we all know, she’s being used by the gun control advocates. We are supposed to feel sympathy for her because she got shot, so we would be said to be heartless and cruel to take issue with anything she says or does.

OK...a blast from the Gabby past Does anyone else recall the photos of the Uncle Fester shooter? Specifically, the ones where he posed with his Glock in red bra and panties? Was he a trans-loon before trans- was cool?

How can we continue to coexist with these people?

We CAN’T! They don’t want to coexist with US, they want to control/dominate US.

There is no mid point, no consensus on abortion. IT IS MURDER!

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on gun ownership/rights.

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on climate change. Its a MADE UP idea by the left as one way of many to eliminate humans from the earth.

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on sex changes for CHILDREN. Its EVIL!

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on sexual perversion. Its a SIN/abhorrent/an abomination to the Lord. PERIOD!

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on illegal immigration/border security. If we don’t stem the tide/tsunami we won’t have a country anymore.

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on “wokeness” because they are awake and we are/have been asleep.

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on stolen elections. We MUST HAVE a national day of voting with paper ballots, in person voting, with results the same day.

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on the weaponization of our own government against its citizens. Many agencies MUST BE disbanded, reformed, or eliminated altogether if we are ever to trust government again.

There is no middle ground, no consensus to be had on a FREE PRESS. “The press” has become indistinguishable from the left that it serves. We can never prevail as long as “the press” is biased against us.

What can we do?

Our ONLY chance is to elect Donald J Trump as our next president with a Republican majority in BOTH houses.

Its just a “chance”. The government is so corrupt and woke that even Donald Trump, with a Republican House and Senate may not be able to fix it.

The other option is to form a NEW nation of Conservative states and like minded counties from leftist states.

A REVOLUTION! ARMED if necessary. “Its the only way to be sure”

Gabby, like all commie/ leftists, have an un-reasoned, and therefore warped view of what their “utopia” would look like.

“Justified”...mmm...Ya, actually I thing so.

I didnt go out my way to round up mentally unstable perverts.

The gun didnt take advantage of someone with mental health problems and their efforts.

It wasnt the gun rights groups that strung those mentally unstable people along then didnt give them the votes that they believed they were entitled to.

This isnt a rare or unusual incident that no one knew was going to happen either. Ive been writing around here for years about how the mentally challenged and sometimes those with developmental disabilities that I worked with were intentionally targeted by liberal political groups like Obamas presidential campaign. How these people were tricked into working against their best interest and against their own personal beliefs without knowing it and some of the mental trauma these people experienced when they realized what had happened.

She, her campaign, like all communists, knowingly and intentionally targeted and took advantage of those with an ax to grind and no ability to control themselves once it was sharpened.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Had the shooter used a pistol limited to 10 rounds or less, say, a 1911, she’d have gotten a real lesson in common sense gun control.

*** Former Rep. Gabby Giffords saw her political career, as it was going, put to an end by a madman. ***

How about we stop giving SSRIs out like candy? They’re every bit as dangerous as guns. How about we stop making mentally ill people go even crazier?

[[they just want what they term “common sense” gun control]]

Because by golly, NONE of the nearly 30,000 laws, and 100,000 statutes and regulations on guns is “Common Sense”
