Breitbart by AWR Hawkins 7/13/2020
Democrat Sen. challenger Mark Kelly is campaigning on background checks and gun seizures as he tries to unseat pro-Second Amendment Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ).
Kelly’s wife, Gabby Giffords, was shot by an attacker in Tucson on January 8, 2011. That attacker acquired his gun via a background check, yet Kelly is campaigning to expand the point-of-sale opportunities to conduct background checks, with his campaign website suggesting such checks “keep kids and communities safer.â€
Again, his wife’s attacker passed a background check for his gun, as has nearly every mass shooter of recent memory.
Where is the safety background checks are supposed to deliver?

Not surprising. That might explain a fake news story I saw that said McSally backs Red Flag laws. She doesn't. She might not even be a factor, because I've seen polls that say she's losing to a more conservative challenger, Daniel McCarthy.

No mention that connections (the shooter's mom worked with the sheriff's office) helped put and keep the guns in the hands of a troubled individual, nor the Feederal Judge he killed in that same incident.

If gun control was effective, Chicago and New York wouldn't be shooting galleries, and Southeast D.C. would be Paradise.
Crime is created by bad people and bad behavior, the prevalence of which creates a market for weapons (usually of the stolen variety) because good people who behave lawfully don't use them to shoot and kill innocent people.
But Democrats don't give a damn about facts or logic or history because all they care about is creating chaos for the purpose of taking power.
They'll call everyone a "racist", but somehow still allow young black gangs to roam freely in neighborhoods they wouldn't themselves ever visit, because the path to power for Democrats is paved with misery and death.

They never mention that. In fact...come to think about it...they don't mention the name of the 9-year-old girl who was also murdered that day by Jared Loughner.
ETA: Wiki
... and killed six people, including Chief U.S. District Court Judge John Roll, Gabe Zimmerman, one of Giffords' staff, and a 9-year-old girl, Christina-Taylor Green. Loughner shot and injured a total of 13 people, including one man who was injured while subduing him.
That's six people unmentioned.

That's because Kelly is still trying to make Gabby the poster child for gun control.
