As I mentioned here, former US Rep Gabby Giffords has broken the news, saying now that she is firmly on the "anti-NRA" side. Interestingly, her husband, a retired Navy Captain, joined her in her perfidy. Read the big news of their presser here.
She just wants to counter the NRA, eh?
She ought to read this blog. I counter the NRA all the time here, but when I do it, it's to kick their butt for not hammering hard enough on those who would tear down our Constitutional Rights.
Both Giffords and Kelly swore oaths to defend that Constitution, and now they both want to rip it up.
Add them to the list of traitors who have so sworn, and so recanted their blood oaths. I hope someone is making that list, we'll need it eventually.
Note that the article I quoted doesn't say where the "counter-NRA" organization's money is going to come from. Well, Pilgrims, if you think it's going to come from anywhere else but the VERY deep pockets of Michael Bloomberg, YOU ought to read this blog more often.
Well, at least Giffords will be dancing in her own shed blood as well as that of the kids and teachers of Newtown. I'm sure her puppet-masters considered that factor carefully when they recruited her to their traitorous cause. And, she has an excuse for forgetting her oath momentarily, since her brain was scrambled by a bullet. As time goes on though, that excuse wears thin.
Well, she did get shot in the head, so I'll give her a pass. No excuse for what her husband said, though.

Just because you got shot, doesn't mean other people don't need shootin'.
I mind DeWitt Wallace, founder of Reader's Digest. He got shot up really badly in WWI, and Reader's Digest was rather anti-gun, forever after that.
Malcom Forbes, Sr., a Sergeant and Machine Gunner, got shot up rather badly in WWII, and discouraged his son from arming himself. His boy bought a shotgun, anyway.
Hey, humans are dangerous! We do kill each other, from time to time. Hell, humans are the only critters who will kill you for your bad taste in music. I mean, if you play that opera CD one more time... It is only prudent to keep a weapon handy to defend yerself from the other humans!

Rand Paul (Ron Paul?) gave a speech recently in which he said that if we give up our rights when the going gets rough and we are afraid of something, what exactly are we fighting to protect?
I recall something to the effect that the Weimar Constitution under which every Nazi atrocity was conducted was in fact modeled on the US Constitution except for one key difference. Each right was prefaced with words to the effect, "except insofar as the interests of justice require." Odd, every time the right came up against the interest of the state, the interests of justice required the right to yield.
