Grabby Giffords’ Husband, Mark Kelly, Buys an AR-15

"Guns for me but not for thee. That libtard hypocrite got caught, like a libtard senator in a Dominican whore house. Complete lying scum. As I and many others have observed, if it weren't for hypocrisy, libtards would have no principles at all. If you’re going to do this as an illustration then you create a paper trail beforehand. What was he trying to illustrate?  That nuts can buy guns? Well he succeeded. Did he buy those high capacity magazines that he wants banned too. Yes
he did. Geez, and I thought he would just by the guns and point them at someone and yell bang, bang, like we did when we were kids. I had a funny feeling about this jerk  from the beginning. Something just didn't seem right. Now, I think I see what was wrong.  He has been making a big deal out of his wife's injury, beyond just supporting her and being concerned.  He may just be riding on her coattails for his own reasons. Kelly has been exploiting his wife's tragic experience since day one. He has strong political aspirations and will keep trotting the poor woman out until he doesn't need her anymore. The left has no boundaries, not even his wife is safe from their agenda. He’s such a phoney using his wife to get in the spotlight. You have to feel for Gabby. Shes just a puppet now. Can you even think like these people? I can’t. What a piece of crap he is. Kelly is the -ass- in astronaut. Navy officers used to be honorable and honest. Welcome to Hussein’s world. The guy is nothing but a phoney libtard who is in the tank for Hussein. Knew that when the POS came out right away and blamed Sarah Palin for the shooting. Remember this always:   liberals are liars; to you and me and to themselves. If they shake hands with you, count your fingers afterward." MC

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 a gun store in Tucson, Arizona.
Breitbart News received a tip on this when Neil McCabe, editor of Guns & Patriots newsletter, contacted us on March 7 and said:

Mark E. Kelly, made purchases which included an AR-15--sometimes described as an "assault rifle"--at 3:30 pm on the afternoon of March 5 at Diamondback Police Supply, 170 S. Kolb Street, Tucson, AZ.

According to McCabe, witnesses to the purchases claimed Kelly purchased "high capacity" magazines as well.
On March 6, McCabe contacted Kelly's gun control group--"Americans for Responsible Solutions"--and on March 8 they replied that his message had been passed on to colleagues who handle press requests. Breitbart News then began investigating the details surrounding the purchase, including visiting the gun store.
Suddenly, Kelly announced on his Facebook page 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.

Testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee Jan. 30, Kelly had urged senators to restrict sales firearms based on their lethality--a common refrain with other witnesses that day, who argued that semi-automatic weapons, which chamber subsequent rounds as bullets are fired, and other guns with military-style features level the playing field against law enforcement.
Kelly and Giffords founded their own advocacy group to restrict gun rights, Americans for Responsible Solutions, in January. On its website, ARS wrote: “High capacity magazines are a deadly factor in gun violence.” A 30-round magazine is considered a high-capacity magazine.
The ARS website says: “Congress should act to limit the sale of high capacity magazines, which are not needed for hunting or self-defense, but have proven very lethal.”
Similarly, the ARS website says: “Congress should act to limit the sale of assault weapons.
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.
