Gabby Giffords

Postby harryset on Wed Apr 17, 2013 6:34 pm

Didn't I see somewhere that she was undergoing "counseling" following the shooting incident that she was a victim of? I wonder if this would be enough to disqualify her from posessing a firearm? Maybe her husbands guns should be taken away as well, so she won't have ready access to them.

Could be out for revenge... Could be suffering PTSD... I don't feel safe...

I would hope you'd defend her right to own a firearm.

I think he did.

Maybe I can put it another way. Heffay, what "counseling" if any, should disqualify you from your 2nd amendment rights?

The way the GC growd has used her in recent months is reprehensible. The poor woman is brain damaged. She has to rehearse short speeches for days. She sits there and nods while her husband answers questions directed to her. I give both of them massive props (her for keepin' on, and him for demonstrating what the vows really mean), but their presence on the political scene is sad, pathetic and, frankly, abusive. Watch the parts of this interview that involve her.

I would agree with the Pony on this one if Giffords had not exploited her victimhood in the battle to infringe on our rights.
If she were in the background and had not made herself a combatant it would be different. So just say no to righteous indignation.

And to say she is being "used" is an insult to her husband. He is not some weak willie who couldn't defend her.

She's being exploited...just like Sami Rahamim (son of Accent Signage owner) and James Brady.

The antis are using these tragedies as a blood dance to remind everyone that "Gunz R Bad".
Nothing to see here. Continue swimming.

I am insulting him. He's an elitist. I respect him for his commitment to his marriage. However, the way he has PARTICIPATED in using Gabby (in ways she clearly doesn't understand - again, watch a few vids of her since the shooting) is reprehensible.

If he's smart (and I'd guess he is), there will come a time in his life... probably a quiet moment when he can be alone with his thoughts and his conscience... when he will realize what he did to her (this public charade). This realization will cause him pain and anguish. He might struggle with how and where to find forgiveness, as she won't even be able to fathom why he seeks it.

One needs a conscience to feel remorse, I'm betting he has neither.
I will never apologize for being an American.
