Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and husband Mark Kelly have a message for Arizona lawmakers: Enact reasonable gun restrictions or we'll help elect people who will.
And if necessary, Kelly, co-founder of Americans for Responsible Solutions with Giffords, said the group will take its case directly to voters.
At a press conference Thursday to launch the Arizona Coalition for Common Sense, Kelly acknowledged the political hurdles here.
"Arizona is different,' he said, with a long history of -- and relationship with -- firearms. "Arizona could be a tricky state when you consider this.' |

Any time you hear common sense gun regulations, it means anything except common sense. There is no such thing as common sense gun regulations.
How about applying some common sense and get rid of gun restrictions that don't work.
Criminals will always get guns, and they don't buy them at gun shows.
Gun regulations only restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. |

I have found that the old saw about gun control is true: "It's not about the guns, it's about control!" A progressive only wants one thing, total government control of society so that a utopia can exist. That is not only impractical, it's impossible! Why can't they or won't they see that? |

TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
