Mister Gabby Giffords can go suck it.

Anyone who sets several hundred dollars on fire only to voluntarily give their property up to police for no good reason is stupid.

What do you want to bet he originally didn't plan to give this up? And I wonder what the police are going to do with it? Give him a $50 gift card?!

So if he isn't purchasing it for himself isn't that a "straw Purchase" and an illegal purchase? Also what's the 1911 45 for? Hunting not likely perfect for self-defense and concealed carry thought. Pretty hypocritical just my opinion though. Oh and he'll probably will get a tax break for the donation

Honestly,,,

I'm sure you all know I feel so badly for Mrs. Giffords having to go through what she has to,as I'm sure 99% of us do. And I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Ever!

Though I can't say I'd ever agree with her political views on many points before or after this happened,, I don't feel that things like this should happen to anyone, despite there views,this is very sad indeed, and my prayers go out to her and her family. And to so many others that were effected by the tragedy that took place at the hands of a mad man that day. Yes,, it is unconscionable and my prayers go out to them all.

But remember ,,, it was the mad man with the gun,,, not the gun that did this, it could have just as well happen with a 2x4, a pipe, a baseball bat,,,or anything. A mad man/nut job,,,, is just that, it has nothing to do with guns except in a twisted mind!

I feel even worse for her now,, knowing that now the liberals are taking advantage of this poor woman's circumstances and obvious disability's by trying to advance there own agendas through her challenges. This is just so wrong on so many levels.

Hasn't this poor woman had to go through enough without having to be part of a "dog and pony show"!!! Don't these people that are using her as a poster child for gun control,,,have any sense of decency at all,,, ???????

Never mind,,,, Sadly,,,I know the answer to that one !!!! They should be very proud of them selves !!! IMO

funny we never heard about where loughner got the gun , I do know he did not buy it and his mother worked for the forest service or some gov't agency

I too do feel for this woman and i understand her husband beening affected also, but they are becoming the new brady poster folks whether we like it or not and they claim to be 2A friendly

Well said :thumbup1:

Nope that's what I get from it. He went in and did it the right way, like every one of us have to.
And I bet someone is going to (or was planning to) make it seem like he just went and got it "so easily that anyone can do it" type things.

being a astronut, retired navy captain , and in like flynn with the socialist , got pals in the FBI and NSA --he would be an automatic background check pass--


what would be funny is if they ran Obamma through the background check!


if it was working like it should it would come back "DENIED ILLEGAL ALIEN ATTEMPTING TO BUY A FIREARM! RED ALERT!" when they ran Obamma through he system--:loopeye::loopeye:

I saw him interviewed on CNN yesterday. Made me want to puke. "Yes i bought this AR, and i absolutely intend to turn it in to the local police department here in Arizona. But as a firm supporter of the 2nd amendmant and my belief in owning firearms for self defense, im keeping the 1911. I just dont think assault rifles like the AR15 belong in the hands of non-military people"

or something right along those lines. Like he bought it legally i am assuming...just to do what? Make a point that turning in firearms to the police is the right thing do? unless its a handgun? wtf?

ETA: Found some of the dialogue: saying he did it only to find out how easy it was, but totally planned to turn it in...yea right, only after everyone found out and called him on it.

"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," he continued.

Later, on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer," Kelly said it was "important for me to have firsthand knowledge about how easy it is or difficult it is to buy a weapon like that."

If he really wantd to know how hard it was to buy an AR-15 with a background check, he should have asked me to buy it. It takes hours for me to get an approval.

Heck, it has taken me as long as ONE YEAR to get an approval to buy a bolt action WWII rifle. Even then that was a NO GO, as it has to be approved in 30 days.

Background checks should be outlawed.

yep he was just featured on Megyn kellys program

funny thing is the weapon if turned in will be considered a Police dept excesses property and will be sold off to the general public

my take is he tried to buy a assualt rifle before he tries to get them outlawed, because he only came forward after he found out brietbart was going to out him on this, then he ran to CNN ( communist news network ) to explain himself, Mr. 2A needed to know how the background process worked WTF kind of bullshit answer is that

Lets see just for a moment, even though Ms. Giffords suffered injuries from a deranged gunman which initself is tragic enough we all agree on that. But now we have have several diffrent issues at hand, Ms Giffords suffered a tramatic brain injury, brain injuries that you have not recovered from is grounds to be denied access to a weapon, Dose she still have her glock and her permit as well? if the answer is yes there are two major issues and regulations broken, Husband purchases a weapon possibily a straw purchase,
So there are three strikes, But it was stated by another member, Mr.Giffords purchased an Ar 15 just to turn it over to the Police? now that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard, This has the stink of a Democrat Stunt written all over it!, And to be used and exploited by her own party to further thier gun grabbing efforts. weathier she is a willing particapant or not is a new low for democrats, I shouldn't say a new low, for they come up with a new one about every half an hour its just a matter of which deception tactic they choose to use at that moment. Oh and I did for get one more, Im sure she had to go see a mental health evaluator, after being sho just to counsel her through a tramatic event, So according to all th new gun laws that are trying to be passed, gabby giffords & her husband should be arrested for violating several gun laws that are already on the books. But hay who am I Im just an average citizan, Im just an honest law abiding citizan. who has to jump through more hoops to purchase a firearm , than a person with a mental condition & the connections to obtain a firearm. The back ground check system dose not work and I;ll prove it to you very quickly, I was in uniform and went to purchase a new service weapon, NICIS givces the clerk a umm well we dont know if hes qualifed or not, the gunstore owner who knew me, told the person on the other end of the line, I have the person right here in fromt of me, and I have seen his credentials and current weapons card from the State Department of Home Land Security,
that Licenses him for the following weapons semi-automatic hand gun, revolvers, shotguns, and AR15 type rifles or sniper rifles, now mind you I had to attend all these classes for work, and yet Nicis want to deny a weapon until they received all the verifaction numbers on my Weapons ID card, and yet while I was waiting for the clerk, I observed a young man 25 years of age, come in and pick out a tech 9. now that weapon has no real use other that cqc and even then its a poor choice imo. The more I looked at this kid , the more he looked fimilure, Suddlenly the bulb clicked on, and I waited to see what was going to happen, this guys sale went thru with flying colors, And I told the cleark I had something to tell him. You see the kid who wants the Tech 9, he said yes I do why, Im sorry to have to ruin a sale, but I was at this mans trial in which he was arrested for ADW, and convicted of domestic violence, which ad up to no sale! I walked over to the guy at the counter with the man who wanted the gun , I asked him if he remembered me, and he said No very nerviously, I said you should I testifed at your trial you know the one , wher you were charged with ADW and Domestic Violence and convicted on all counts. The police were called and the man was taken into custody as a convicted felon attempting to purchase a firearm by providing false information. My question is how many of these cases have went thru under someones elses information but using thier own name, And just to further my point some where it was said that President Obama couldnt pass a back ground check. now at his diposal, he has some very nasty weapons in his arsnal,, Nuclar war heads, tridant millels, fully automatic weapons, explosives out the ass, destructive devices of all kinds. Now I ask you if he cant even pass a simple back ground check, how in the hell can he have all these weapons at his disposal, tell me something isnt wrong here!..Doc
