Giffords buys an AR

[scratchy]

Incorrectly titled. Should read "Kelly buys an AR" I'm a brain addled old guy.

Can you spell hypocrisy?

Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an "assault weapon," he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.

Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol at Diamondback Police Supply in Tucson, Arizona.
Various sources contacted Breitbart News once Kelly made the purchase, and after we began investigating the details surrounding the purchase, Kelly announced on his Facebook that he was not going to keep the AR-15, which he has yet to pick up from the store.
Days after making the purchases, Kelly wrote on Facebook:

I just had a background check a few days ago when I went to my local gun store to buy a .45. As I was leaving, I noticed a used AR-15. Bought that too. Even to buy an assault weapon, the background check only takes a matter of minutes. I don't have possession of it yet but I'll be turning it over to the Tucson PD when I do.

In February, Kelly told Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace that lawmakers need to address "assault weapons." He said the purpose of an "assault weapon" is "to kill a lot of people very quickly," and he lamented that such products were "too readily available."
Kelly has not commented on whether he will also return the .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol he purchased.

Color me surprised...

idiot.

[blacklabel]

What a tool.

[ChunkyMonkey]

He is definitely an elitist. He can own one but everyone else beneath him... too low to be trusted with the very same tool.

[nzachman]

Do as I say not as I do.

Hard to believe he was a military officer. But I've seen a few real tools in the military, too, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Flying the space shuttle. So easy a hypocritical liberal fuckstain can do it.

[Tinelement]

Weren't they just here testifying about how bad these evil weapons are??

No surprise here

A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens. Giffords husband probably has his sights set on a political career...

[generalmeow]

He bought a gun at a gun store with the intention of dropping it off at the police station afterwards? What is he going to say? "You guys will never believe what I bought at a gun store! Please get rid of this thing!"

A fucking liar. He got caught buying these weapons, and is now backpedaling.
