Tbh is it bad that me and other people at UofA say "we takin' shots like Giffords!" whenever we're drunk?

[Wild Cobra]

No, it's the same model used.

What's the big deal?

[ManuBalboa]

Proven everyday dems sensationalize and demagogue that vicious attack. Pathetic but expected.

[boutons_deux]

"dems"

Dems did nothing. One Dem was shot and other murdered with Klock.

It was local Repugs who ran a voter-drive/money-raising raffling a Klock, proving Repugs really are irredeemable, incorrigible sociopathic assholes.

[Harry Callahan]

The same brand, not the same gun. Different caliber, different size.

Tying these two things together is a stretch.

The TS has plenty of time to post his or her views here based on the massive post count. Umemployed? Govt worker?

What's a KLOCK? A timepiece perhaps?

[boutons_deux]

"Tying these two things together is a stretch."

bullshit. same brand, same gun later model.

Raffling a Glock for Repug money-raising in Gifford's district is typical sick, baiting, hateful Repug politics.

16,000 guns ‘lost’ from manufacturing plants in last 2.5 years: report

A report released Thursday highlighted that more than 16,000 firearms have been reported "lost" from licensed gun manufacturing plants before sale since 2009, an average of 18 guns lost per day. Many of these guns don't have serial numbers affixed yet, making them nearly impossible to trace and thus desirable for criminals.

ROFL...bouton's get's his OP destroyed again and has to transmorgrify/cut away to a bigger picture.

[Harry Callahan]

Class act aren't you? Why the double post? Did I upset you?

You live in an alternative universe. I've seen your crazy posts before.

Not that you would care since you have a deeply ingrained POV, but a Glock 19 was used by that nut - a full size 9MM. A Glock 23 (the raffle item) is medium frame .40 caliber.

Go watch MSNBC for awhile so you can get more talking points for your many posts.

Tying these two issues together is a typical, sick, baiting, hateful bot post.:lmao

I don't think its a stretch to tie them in together at all. Its a pretty fucking stupid PR move at best.

Of course the report is from the Brady Center! What a shock! :sleep

WTF were they thinking?

Might be. Gun raffles aren't exactly uncommon. I think you would actively want to tie them together to do so.
Free country and all that.

[TeyshaBlue]

Would it be acceptable if it were a rifle?

[ChumpDumper]

Might be. Gun raffles aren't exactly uncommon.After high profile mass killings involving political figures?

[TeyshaBlue]

How bout a shotgun?

[TeyshaBlue]

After high profile mass killings involving political figures?

I really haven't tracked them, CD. I'm pretty sure you haven't either, but there's a better than zero chance this isn't the first post-Gifford gun raffle.

[ChumpDumper]

I really haven't tracked them, CD. I'm pretty sure you haven't either, but there's a better than zero chance this isn't the first post-Gifford gun raffle.By the local GOP?

Then it wouldn't be the first time it was an insanely stupid idea either.

[Harry Callahan]

I will say this.

The NICS insta check system should include CURRENT and CORRECT information on people who are mentally defective like the Arizona gunman obvously was. He was scaring people and acting crazy for a long time, but he passed the NICS check.

This should not have happened.

[TeyshaBlue]

I aint arguing the stupidity. I am arguing the rest of bouton's rant.

[ChumpDumper]

I aint arguing the stupidity. I am arguing the rest of bouton's rant.I didn't read the rant tbh.

[TeyshaBlue]

:lol

[RandomGuy]

No, it's the same model used.

What's the big deal?

I looked up the flyer/posting

http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2011-08-31-PimaCountyGlock.jpg

I don't see much of a big deal. Not really all that bright, posting the same model used in the shooting, but I don't think it was intentional.

I would give them the benefit of the doubt about that.

Raffling a gun to raise money for a political run though, that is a bit creepy, IMO.

I guess it makes sense in the GOP "guns 'n' country" milieu, and that appeals to the base, but still...

Creepy and dumb, but not deliberately evil.

Probably the Obama CIA at work.
