I'm recovering from the flu (groan) and was out of pocket yesterday, but I returned to work this morning to find this story and instantly felt better:
An Arizona gun store has cancelled a purchase made by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffordss husband Mark Kelly. On March 5th, Kelly visited Diamondback Police Supply in Tucson, selected an AR-15 style rifle, a .45 caliber handgun, and some high capacity magazines, completed a background check and paid for his purchases.Within days, the story of the broke nationally and Kelly claimed that his purchases were made to highlight how easy it is to get a gun. He also added that he intended to turn the AR-15 into the Tucson Police. ...
Going back now and watching Kelly talk about how "easy" it was for him to purchase an AR-15 makes today's news even sweeter:
Apparently getting one's hands on an AR-15 weapon isn't so easy after all. Thanks for that effectual demonstration, Captain.
