Giffords pleads on gun
control: ‘Let’s get this done’

New York Daily News, by Dan Hirschhorn

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/11/2013 5:33:47 PM

Gabby Giffords is taking her campaign for gun control to the airwaves. Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was shot in the head in 2011, launches a new TV ad this week through her recently-formed "super PAC." The 30-second spot, in which Giffords herself implores America to "get this done," is targeting congressional leaders with ad buys that will reach constituents of House Speaker John Boehner, House Minority Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Over pictures of grieving families after recent massacres in Newtown, Aurora and Tucson, Giffords, who is still

Guess she and her piggish husband would prefer the people in CA would have no way to defend themselves.

For shame.

By all means, let´s make raw emotion take precedent over rational thought and an honest "conversation." (That word sucks!)

I pity Ms. Giffords. Apparently she used to be a proponent of the 2nd Amendment, and the right of law-abiding citizens to have their guns. Now it´s impossible to tell whether she´s truly voicing her own opinions, or whether they are the opinions of the Puppet-Master, a la James Baker.

(I hope she continues to improve from her tragic injury at the hand of an insane criminal.)

I have regret and pity for your tragic, senseless plight, Ms. Giffords.

But when you advocate disarming my family so that the same thing that happened to you can more easily happen to my family, we part company. I´ll keep my guns. I suggest you do likewise, but that´s your choice.

No law would or could have prevented what happened to you. No law will disarm me.

Shut up and get off the stage. Sorry you were attacked. Guns in hands of nuts are a problem. Can´t solve it by taking everyone´s guns away.

What is it you want done? Do you want to make public the list of Americans that have major psychological problems and should never have a gun? How about the convicted felons who have done their time? Are you going to make that list public? Or are you proposing to only publish that information for those who own a gun? What is you concept of Constitutional law. I inherited a pistol and completed FFL paperwork to transfer a non-functioning pistol. Should I have less rights than convicted rapist?

Would a background check prevent the recent schools shootings? No. Would background checks stop the Clifford shootings? No. Would a background check have stopped VT shootings? No. In other words, she proposes nothing new except another intrusion on law abiding citizens to once again accomplish nothing except to diminish our freedoms once again. Lets do the research to identify the most common causes of these shootings and then address it with effective measures. Lets stop demanding the same failed policies and hoping for a better outcome.

Conservatives in her district. obama showed up for the photo op and said pelosi and wassserman-schultz were in the room when gabby opened her eyes for the first time. That was another lie, as pelosi was not at the hospital let alone in the room with gabby. Then gabby´s pig husband slammed Sarah Palin over a campaign brochure that used a target motif.

I seem to recall an article after the Giffords shooting which stated that Giffords had received threats, but did not have an adequate security detail, and we all know the result of her lax security. Sadly, others are dead due to lax security.

The logical conclusion from her experience should be that Americans need increased security to protect them against gun violence, NOT disarmament.

I am really sorry about her being shot while serving as an elected official. However, what her husband is doing by dragging her around as the dummy for Edgar Bergen is more shameful. Somehow I think he has to remind her what breakfast cereal is today. That´s unforgivable.

Her good buddy Debbie, isn´t telling him to keep her at home either.

All for the cause.

They’re big. They’re ugly. They’re noisy. And they’re coming. So get ready. The blockbuster brood of the periodical cicada, large insects that emerge en masse from the ground in 17-year intervals across the northeast, is on its way — and New York City’s largest public radio station is encouraging residents in Central Jersey and beyond to help track the invasion. “The whole idea came from our news director, Jim (Schachter, of Summit), who lives in New Jersey — he promised his wife that they would move from their home before the 17-year cicadas came back,”

The night began like many at Boorda Hall, a five-story barracks at Naval Station Great Lakes, the Navy´s premier training base on the shore of Lake Michigan in Illinois. Somebody announced a party, and the hard drinking and beer pong began. A 21-year-old Marine lance corporal, so drunk on rum and Mountain Dew she was slurring her words, went to look for Kyle Antonacci, a Navy seaman she´d been dating off and on. Antonacci soon texted his friend Mike Pineda to help him deal with her. Both men had sex with her that night. But what distinguished May 8, 2009,

The State Department team was delivering books to an Afghan school in the Qalat district of Zaul province when their convoy was hit by a suicide bomber, Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday. "She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

ATLANTA – Luke Hancock came off the bench to score 20 points, walk-on Tim Henderson sparked a second-half rally with a pair of monster 3s and Louisville advanced to the NCAA title game Saturday night, escaping with a 72-68 victory over Wichita State. As the final buzzer sounded, a Louisville player tossed the ball high into the air and injured Kevin Ware stood up, thrusting his arms above his head. It was the 15th straight victory for the top-seeded Cardinals (34-5), who will play the winner of Syracuse-Michigan for the national title Monday night.

The Keystone XL Pipeline has emerged as a major issue in the Massachusetts special U.S. Senate election, with environmental groups committing nearly one-third of the $1.25 million in outside money already spent on campaigns. The biggest spender so far is the League of Conservation Voters, which has already spent more than $545,000 to help elect Democratic candidate and Rep. Ed Markey, who has a strong pro-environment platform. “Our field campaign is resonating with voters across Massachusetts,” said Navin Nayak, a political specialist for the group. “The people of Massachusetts want climate change champion Ed Markey representing them.”

At the corner of Columbia Pike and Walter Reed Dr. in Arlington, Va., sits a stainless steel bus stop with a million dollar price tag. Yes, that’s right.

Now that it’s almost departure time for Julius Genachowski, Obama’s first chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, The Hill newspaper has noted one important sign of his priorities. In his four years at the helm, the FCC hasn’t issued one fine to Hollywood for indecent content on broadcast television. Now there’s a legacy. Hollywood sends its gratitude, Mr. Chairman, for an absolutely perfect record of inaction. Who says that in Obama’s America, your campaign contributions can’t buy regulatory paralysis in Washington when needed? Few media outlets noticed. Communications Daily described Genachowski’s perfect zero as a “restrained approach.”

The battle for the potentially pivotal votes of African American legislators on a bill to legalize gay marriage in Illinois intensified Friday — as opponents and proponents alike pulled out the big guns. Leading the opposition, Cardinal Francis George and a group of black ministers launched an aggressive campaign against same-sex marriage to be waged through radio commercials and telephone calls. Weighing in on the other side, national civil rights leader Julian Bond sent a letter urging legislators to grant equal rights to “my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.” George met with prominent Chicago area black pastors and bishops

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
