Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly Booed at Gun Show

What did they expect?

"It appears that even after making it clear they plan to be the anti-NRA in 2014, Giffords and her husband wanted to attend a gun show to continue to project the image that they are average American gun owners like the rest of us. Gun show attendees did not seem to buy it."

Anonymous said...: Want to know something? I was in car accident once. I guess, according to the Giffords/Kelly School of Logic that now makes me an expert on all things automobile-related.

I should be able to testify in front of the state legislatures, and the national legislators about blood alcohol levels, speed limits and how they relate to population density, as well as the inner-workings of the most advanced cars, such as Priuses, and even Teslas.

Of course it doesn't!!! That whole idea is ridiculous! And to say otherwise is a sign of a very disturbed mind with serious delusions. Just because Gabby Giffords got shot, that doesn't make her, nor her astronaut husband an expert in all-things firearms.; October 15, 2013 at 10:25 AM
FedUp said...: I'd love to have them visit a gun show within 100 miles of me so I could castigate them in person.

I'd get some KKK style pointy white hoods, print up iron on transfers of guns with big red circles and a slash through the guns, and present the new national figureheads of the anti civil rights lobby's Gun Klux Klan with appropriate headgear.

Then I'd ask everybody to gather around and critique a speech I wrote, about how these people attacking our civil rights are no more welcome at a gun show than the two top ranking leaders of the 1950s KKK would be at an ice cream social at a black church in Mississippi.

I'd want to mention that 100 million lawful gun owners aren't responsible for his wife's brain damage, nor does her brain damage make her qualified to tell the rest of us how the country should be run. The man responsible for her injury was a collectivist bigot just like them.

I'd close the speech by telling Mark that if he really supports the 2A, and wants to do something meaningful, something that will make 100 million gun owners stand up and cheer for him, he should throw his wife off a cliff and jump off after her.

Then I'd ask the crowd to cheer if they support my words. After which I'd ask them to shout me down if they oppose my words. The lickspittle media lackeys following those two hateful bigots around would be forced to record it all.; October 15, 2013 at 9:05 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
