Mark Kelly buys an AR15

[dennishoddy]

I wonder how he feels about the Russian Cosmonauts bringing firearms into the ISS.

He was there, and I'm sure fully briefed on the location of the gun.

This guy is a hyporitical tool. The same week he is buying a gun he goes to Colorado to campaign at the state Capital for tighter gun control. He and his wife are raising money to fight the gun industry. He says he is pro 2A, but when he gets caught buying an AR he backs down. Be a man, pick a side and stand up for it.

He's a hypocrite because he campaigns for gun control, yet buys a gun.

I guess that makes everyone here a hypocrite because they advocate gun ownership, yet rail against a man that buys a gun.

Can't have it both ways.

I didn't say he was a hypocrite; I said "f**k him".

Bad use of logic here ^^^^ - Capt (Ret) Kelly is called a hypocrite because he very publicly campaigns in favor of significant restrictions on gun ownership, in particular on so-called assault weapons like the AR-15. He is subsequently found to have purchased a handgun and an AR-15. When confronted he then, and only after being publicly called out, gives what seems to be a less than credible explanation about buying it only to prove how simple such a purchase is and announces his intent to turn the weapon over to the Tucson PD.
On this board in this thread many people say they support his right to buy weapons but consider his actions hypocritical - so who is being logical, consistent, and non-hypocritical (even if angry) and who seems to be doing one thing in public (very prominently) while doing a very different thing in private?

What do you think?

Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an "assault weapon," he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.

Unless he has some criminal history, I'm failing to make the connection on how a law abiding citizen buying a gun which is legal to own illustrates the need for more stringent gun laws. If he has a criminal past he's not revealing, that would make more sense.

now when the ATF come beating at my door ill just tell the i Mark Kellyed my guns and turned them all in.

 

[Fredkrueger100]

Yup, and everyone like him.

Son of ***** was buying it legit and then when the media caught him, he tried to spin it.

I have always thought this guy was a piece of crap. Two faced hippacrite.
