Mark Kelly shoots 9mm Glock with 17 round mag - Hypocrite

Post by Syntyr »

Gabby Giffords still loves guns: Shot congresswoman watches husband take target practice with same model of weapon that nearly killed her

Gabby Giffords’ husband likes to do target practice with exactly the same kind of gun which was used to shoot her - as she cheers him on from their porch.
Mark Kelly shoots pots and water bottles at a family ranch in Arizona with a Glock 9mm whilst the former Congresswoman shouts: ‘Excellent! excellent!’ with a smile on her face.
The same gun was allegedly used by Jared Loughner in January 2011 to shoot her in the head on his rampage which left six dead and five others injured.

I have come to believe that Mr. Kelly is NOT an honorable man.

:shock:

Using a flat faced rock to elevate your target is dumb and dangerous. The ricochet could kill or injure you or the folks standing behind you. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

His grip tells you a lot too. Ignorance abounds. I guess he is "proving" to people he does "believe in the Second Amendment" :roll:
I think the astronaut sorely missed the limelight and his wife's tragedy has opened a whole new way for him to regain it. I mean if he REALLY wanted to spare her stress, why would he be making her relive what happened over and over and over? I think she is saying and doing what he is leading her to do. Her mind is simply not there enough now for her to defend herself from his political and personal agenda. At least that is what it looks like to me.

Per an article on CNN (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/20 ... ?hpt=hp_c2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

"Kelly isn't shooting with just any kind of gun – he's using a Glock 9 millimeter handgun, the same kind of gun his wife was shot with.

"But in that case it had a magazine that held 33 rounds," he said. "This, when it's full, holds 17."

The gun is actually Giffords' – Kelly said he gave it to his wife as a gift years ago."

I fail to see what difference the magazine capacity makes. Kelly's wife was shot with one round. It sounds like he is also drawing on the gun grabber mentality of not being able to distinguish between function and appearance. As mentioned above safety awareness and grip also tells a lot.

No surprise to me... and I know I am preaching to the choir here but there is a level of brazenness here that is palpable!
