Mark Kelly running for Senate
Retired astronaut Mark Kelly is ready for his next mission.
Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., announced he’s running for Senate in 2020 in a video he released Tuesday.
Kelly, 54, would face Arizona’s Martha McSally, a Republican, for her Senate seat. McSally was appointed to the late Sen. John McCain’s seat after she lost to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in the 2018 election.
“I always knew that I was going to serve this country in some way,” Kelly said in his announcement. “What I learned from my wife is how you use policy to improve people’s lives.”
Kelly and Giffords became top proponents for gun control legislation after the former Democratic congresswoman was shot in the head while meeting with constituents in Tucson in 2011.
In addition to his time as a NASA astronaut, Kelly was also a Navy combat pilot and engineer. He has never held elected office.My Feedback - http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.ph...ight=stainless

Re: Mark Kelly running for Senate
This guy is not too bright. Makes me wonder how he became an engineer and astronaut. He was on celebrity Jeopardy once, and IIRC, Aaron Rodgers beat him out and Kelly missed questions on space/solar system. Space cadet might be a better title.

Re: Mark Kelly running for Senate
Kelly is a fucking piece of shit. I knew he was working up to this day. I wonder how Arizonans feel about him?

I can't nail it down, but there is something about this guy that seems off. Kinda sets off the sleaze meter.
The question is, will you be on your feet or your knees?

Re: Mark Kelly running for Senate
Lot worse in the 1970s. Presidents Johnson and Nixon wanted to ban cheap handguns. We had a Democratic Controlled Congress. Handgun Control Inc was founded in the mid 1970s by Dow Executive Pete Shields the 3rd and CIA employee Edwin O. Welles. CIA Director William Colby helped found National Coalition to Ban Handguns.
By the late 1970s President Carter's staff wanted to put magnetometers on the streets to catch gun carriers. We had Carter pulling ATF agents off of Moonshine Duty to send them after gun dealers. People were sent to prison for simple misspellings on their Form 4473. Others were busted carrying handguns across State lines for "Trafficking Firearms".
The NRA had to change its direction. They did so.
Today we are better organized, better educated and have more firearms in private hands than we did in those days.
Lifer under Clinton was worse than today. The miserable prick bastard bribed Congress to pass the Feinstein ban. Ronald Reagan came out of retirement to back the Brady Bill and Feinstein ban. Richard Nixon influenced Republicans in New Jersey to keep the Fazio "assault weapon" ban. How Robert Dole, Al Gore and Sen Mitchell added rifles and shotguns to the Brady Checks (The Mitchell-Gore-Dole Compromise).
People forget how genuinely shitty things were in the past. How we had to sign for ammunition in Pennsylvania. How we had to show "need" to get a concealed carry permit.Last edited by GeneCC; February 14th, 2019 at 07:19 PM.

I wish Mark would make a wrong turn and fly his capsule into the sun.
