GABBY GIFFORDS, MARK KELLY BOOED AT GUN SHOW

As Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly were introduced at a gun show in upstate New York over the weekend, the sound of light applause was interrupted with boos.

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.

The Associated Press reported the boos, and said there were also persons who picketed the appearance of Giffords and her husband by holding signs emblazoned with a swastika that read, "Gun control made the Holocaust possible."

One of the persons picketing said, "I believe this is a publicity stunt for Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords. They say they're Second Amendment supporters, I don't believe they are."

The Arrogant Left & Their Gun Prohibition Agenda

1 Comment

Known officially as the Volstead Act, Prohibition was one of the worst laws ever passed in this country. To make matters worse, this law came out of a false and shrunken pietism which surfaced in the 19th century and spread to the Christian Church.

I will grant that most people who supported Prohibition did it out of concern for their fellow man. Once prohibition was enacted, the divorce rate and child abuse cases declined.

However, the unintended consequence of Volstead turned formally law abiding citizens into criminals simply because they choose to exercise their God-given right to have a beer. (Contrary to popular belief, consumption of alcohol is not a sin, ie. a transgression of God's law).
Further, the proliferation of organized crime during this era only went to prove that when the selling and buying of alcohol became illegal, only the outlaws sold and bought the hooch. Chicago, New York and countless other areas of the country became war zones as powerful gangs rose up and battle in the streets to protect their turf. Thousands were killed and hundreds of innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfire.
One would be hard stretched to find those who want to return to the days of prohibition, with the exception of the aforementioned gangs. Just about everyone who has studied the period and loves freedom would agree the Volstead Act was a colossal failure.
However, it would appear the lesson was lost on some because now the leftist elite want to do it again. This time, the target is guns. Multitudes have deluded themselves into believing they can succeed where others have failed.

It begs the question, why? Why are the American people unable to comprehend that every time a law is passed good folks lose freedom? When the people lose freedom, the Government becomes larger, more powerful and intrusive; and the criminals simply move into an underworld.
Is there really a rational person out there who really believes that gun prohibition will keep weapons out of the hands of criminals? Does anyone really believe that if the United States Government made owning a gun illegal or put tighter restrictions on gun ownership that murderers, gangs, and those who basically have a disregard for human life will throw them away or willingly turn them in?
Isn't it possible that all these laws would do is disarm law-biding citizens, who would never take a human life except when defending their wife, children or home, leaving them defenseless?
As previously stated, alcohol prohibition did not work in Chicago, New York and countless other areas of the country in the 1920's. Yet, the arrogance of certain lawmakers seems to cause them to believe they are wiser than those of the past, and they can make gun prohibition work in the 21st century.
As George Santayana famously observed, "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." When, if ever, will we learn?

Gabrielle Giffords pulls gun show bait and switch

By Binaryloop | I've lived all over the US and found that most Americans love liberty but, get fooled into partisan politics. My goal is to wake people up and help them see it's not about left or right -- it's about freedom!

Yesterday’s Washington Post is ran an op-ed bylined by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman that pushes a new gun show background check scheme by referring to five high-profile mass shootings that had absolutely no connection to gun shows.
It is a text book example of gun control bait-and-switch that has become a mainstay of the gun prohibition strategy over the past several years. The opinion piece cites specifically the mass shootings at Virginia Tech, Aurora, Colo., Newtown, the Washington Navy Yard and in Tucson, the latter which left Giffords severely wounded and several others dead.
In none of those cases did the gunmen obtain their firearms from gun shows. Giffords and Schneiderman, and a legion of other gun control advocates, continue to focus on gun shows and the alleged “loophole” that exists under federal law that allows private transactions to occur at such gatherings.
