Mark Kelly* dragged his trusty stuffed Gabby Giffords doll to yet another microphone to make an amazing announcement: Laws that aren’t anti-gun are evil. I say again: Laws that aren’t anti-gun are evil. Write it down and get it right this time. Sheesh.
Okay, that wasn’t so amazing. But here’s an announcement that will literally make your jaw drop: National laws that aren’t anti-gun violate states’ rights. And Mark Kelly* loves states’ rights. Mark Kelly* has always loved states’ rights. That is all.
we will be prepared to fight the new administration and the new Congress on policies that threaten our communities. The gun lobby is seeking to allow guns into schools — an issue education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos expressed support for during her Senate confirmation hearing just this week.
They’re also pushing to ignore states’ rights by mandating the unrestricted “concealed carry” of firearms and allow free access to dangerous silencers, which would let criminals conceal murder and introduce a menacing new threat to our communities.

*who was totally an astronaut once, really, and who is married to this congress chick who’s a hero because she got shot in the head. She has, like, superpowers now or something. No, I dunno what they are. A gentleman doesn’t ask.
Gettin’ kinda snarky, aintcha? 🙂
“dangerous silencers” which are darn-near mandatory in the civilized world. But you already knew that.
Looks like being an astronaut doesn’t preclude one from being an idiot about non-astronaut stuff. Gah!
