This piece of work is harping constantly on "13 year old Christina Taylor Green" who was shot with the 13th round, and if this shooter had only had access to a reasonable 10 round magazine "13 year old Christina Taylor Green" would be alive today, and he and his wife, who are both gun owners and shooters, would be glad to give up their high capacity magazines if it meant "13 year old Christina Taylor Green" would still be alive today.
Mark Kelly then went on to tell us how stupid carry is. Did you know that we came within a half second of compounding a tragic shooting with a horrific accidental shooting, because a citizen carrying came out of a Walgreen and almost shot the good guy tackling the shooter.
Mark Kelly and Gabby could give up their LIVES and it won't bring back Christina Green.
I wonder if Mark knows he could not only give up his right to a XX rd magazine, but give up all his guns too.
(he said he just got a new hunting rifle from WallyWorld) He could also not vote, not speak freely and if ever charged with a crime, spill his guts w/o an attorney.
I was amazed watching his testimony at how freely Mark Kelly would give up his rights. Well good for him. Me...I'm not so generous.
Go ahead and call me a 'rights hog' but I like to keep ALL my God given rights. Even the ones I don't use now, I'll go ahead and keep those on tap too, just because.
Frankly, I would be delighted if MK would just mind his own fooking business.
As for the citizen that "almost shot the good guy", the good guy was
holding the gun. Understandable - he had just wrestled it away from the shooter.
Running toward the scene of the gunfire, Joe Zamudio had his hand on his weapon in his pocket but chose to push the guy up against the wall instead. He admits he "got lucky" in his choices.
He decided not to shoot in a chaotic situation and all without any training. Something that cops repeatedly say THEY can't do - and why we serfs shouldn't carry guns.
Kinda lets the water out of that 'trigger happy gun nut' stereotype that we are all lumped into.
