I am an O'Malley supporter.. but I have such respect for Gabby Giffords..

... to the maximum extent possible in an attempt to get the nomination, regardless of what that does to our chances in November.

And the reality is, Sanders is much more likely to get real gun safety legislation passed than HRC. A big part of that is the trust issue... gun rights enthusiasts will be more inclined to trust Sanders that any legislation IS about gun safety and keeping guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, rather than a first step toward a ban on private gun ownership. NO ONE trusts HRC, except her most partisan supporters..

Her FB page was trashed by Bernie supporters the day she endorsed HRC. Such class!

HRC famously went to the Right of Obama on Guns in 2008 thats not exactly a big surprise. What is a surprise is she's siding with the Gun supporter. But hey she used to be one up until she was shot Thats her choice of course I just disagree with her choice. a Warmonger anti Gun? oh very funny.. as I tell my paranoid Gun fanatics all the time Democrats have been bought and paid for by the NRA. All of them. Wouldn't surprise me if Bernie was too. This is pretty much a dead issue among Democrats who want to get elected.

not politically expedient." Un-huh.

I should only say something placid and soothing? There are likely many other innocent gun violence victims that could possibly make profound statements and draw total indifference from the press. But Giffords - an ex-congressperson - (who I have real compassion for) says something nice about Clinton and we're all supposed to go gooey over it? Give me a break. Aren't she and her hubby still gun ownership proponents? Guns are tools of death - not some convenient play piece in a political gotcha game.
Wanna talk about common sense judgements involving guns? Let's talk about voting to invade Iraq. THOUSANDS of senseless deaths and dismemberments (from guns) - the mortal fallout of which has yet to come to a stop. So I should tip-toe lightly about one more gun victim because of their notoriety? I don't think so.

just don't say anything.

Ugh. Not cool.

stay classy

Believe it or not, I know of a Federal representative that signed on to send thousands of Americans into conflict to suffer injury and death by gun (and other instruments of killing) as well as play a part in instigating death and woe that STILL hasn't totally played out. And that person wants to be CIC.

Go Gabby! Go Hillary!

... even on the issue of guns... until, of course, gun tragedy affected her personally...

2008 she signed an amicus brief to overturn D.C.'s gun control law..

Strong women often have friendships. I get it.

Yep.
