My thoughts and prayers are offered to the Giffords; the woman survived a gun shot wound to the head and managed a near miraculous recovery.
...her husband is a damn astronaut! How many of us were kids, dreaming about being an astronaut when we were grew up.

Both, inspirational achievements.

Both, pristine examples of what is wrong in society and in government.


He is a loving husband and some low life scum shot his wife in the grape.
How fucked up is that ?!?!
He obviously has a relationship with guns, but now that guns have been used against his wife, something needs to be done to stem the violence.
...well, Mr Kelly, where was your public campaign BEFORE your wife was injured?
Where guns "ok" prior to your wife being shot?
Was gun violence something that 'lesser citizens' had to worry about?
Now, that your life has been impacted, you are more than willing to cry out from the highest hilltop to disarmy the public...
...as long as YOU get to keep yours.
...and why not, you are a good guy, why should you give up YOUR guns.
Emotional stress will do that to a man, you probably dont even realize that in your push to take care of your wife, you are exploiting her for hypocritical political gain; but thats ok...
...parade the poor lady around town and show everyone how hard it is for her to be a survivor.
Like many of our citizen base, he was apathetic to social issues that didnt directly impact his life. Now, much like the trailer park resident that cant wait to jump in front of a camera to talk about the tornado, he cant say enough about everyone needs to give up their guns.
Thank you Mr Kelly for epitomizing the modern day American citizen.


Mrs Giffords is a politician who has suffered a life changing injury at the hands of a criminal, so my comments on HER position will be tempered with sympathy.
She is still, at the core, a hypocritical politician. Separated by the elitist government from those she seeks to control through the manipulation of benefits and legislation.
Quick to exercise her own rights, quick to demonize others that want to defend those same rights, and not in possession of the self-awareness needed to separate the real villain from the villain created by the politics of control.
Sadly, as you suffer through the recovery process, probably not even able to realize that you are being paraded around as a poster child for the anti-gun/gun violence crowd. Vladimir Lenin (reportedly) once described certain people as "useful idiots" or simply just misguided sympathizers.
Either way, whats OK for you is obviously not good enough for the citizens your office would represent in government.
...thank you as well for epitomizing the modern political persona.


Mrs Gifford, Mr Kelly, God bless you both. Your tragedy is in my thoughts and prayers. I wish for you, nothing short of a complete recovery and a full and enjoyable life.
Please stay out of mine, and exercise your political hypocrisy somewhere else.
