Default Former Astronaut Mark Kelly Running For Arizona Senate.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...7su?li=BBnb7Kz

This is the seat John McCain held, and is currently held by Martha McSally.

McSally lost a close bid for a Senate Seat in November, she was appointed by the Governor to fill the seat held by McCain.

Kelly is a former shuttle Astronaut and the husband of Gabby Gifford, who was severely injured by a nut job with a handgun a number of years back. He is a staunch anti-gun advocate, although they do support the 2d Amendment. Their work is toward keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.Aside from that, I am not sure of his other views.

McSally is a former fighter pilot, in fact, the first female to fly in combat missions.

This will be a much contested election. The people of Arizona will have to decide.

At this time, I would give the edge to Kelly, unless President Trump pulls out all of the plugs and campaigns for McSally.

That would make an edge disappear BIGLY and turn into a big fat ALBATROSS.

The gun issue must be addressed soon. Too many people have been negatively affected by the lack of common sense action. You CAN have sensible gun laws and still protect our liberty. If you can't, then it's admitting that they knew more about the US in the 21st Century in the 1700s than we do. (Of course, that makes perfect sense to many, but we won't get into that).

I believe gun reform is going to be addressed, and my prediction is that reforms will be led by voters in a conservative state like AZ. Like we're seeing with Trump's demagoguery, American conservatives are rejecting stupidity in ever increasing numbers.

Being for something because the "other guys" are against it just won't work anymore.

Nope. The border wall is a bad idea. Not because Trump has bet his political life on it. But that makes it more relevant in the light of our national insanity.

But why not use a 4th Century solution to fix a 21st Century problem? That makes perfect sense, as do most things Trump.

Otherwise, it would have been built DECADES ago. Shirley you don't believe that only Trump can save us.

So now that Trump is President the left changed their minds on a border wall...they sang a different turn when Obummer was in the White House...would you like some links??

The solution that worked to control the flow of pedestrian traffic in the 4th century still works to control the flow of pedestrian traffic in the 21st century in Arizona. The nature of pedestrians and pedestrian traffic has not changed just because of dates on a calendar changed. Or did you fail to notice how dim-retard mayor de Blasio put up temporary walls to control the flow of pedestrian traffic on New Years Eve in New York City?

You need to put your mind in gear before you put your mouth in gear!!

The term identity politics has been used in political discourse since at least the 1970s.[1] One aim of identity politics has been for those feeling oppressed by and actively suffering under systemic social inequities to articulate their suffering and felt oppression...HE CRY'S THIS SHIT ALL THE TIME!!

Ok - topic is Kelly and Senate seat
Requests for new threads: YR - what gun laws would you propose?
I agree a huge concrete wall is a boondoggle
Let's cut foreign aid and enhance our border agents, equipment, safety, border courts, and use flexible barriers to stop illegal immigration. you want to be here - come legally.

Thank You!

The numbers and actual facts are not in favor of the control advocates.

Violent crime is down. Gun sales are WAY WAY up. Citizens with chls or ltcs have lower conviction rates than police.

The notion that the mere presence of a gun some where increases the liklihood of some one dying has been debunked.

There is no such thing as sensible gun laws. I do not think the people of Arizona are going to buy Kelly's brand of government.

Control advocates do not want to have a real conversation. They have hard ons to ban anything that looks like scary looking black rifle although those are used, according to the FBI, a.k.a. real fucking numbers, the LEAST of any weapon in any crime.

I certainly understand the man's drive. He almost lost his wife. However, nothing they are proposing will actually do anything to make anyone more safe. Instead, while giving snowflakes an illusion of safety, the laws will just make it harder for good people to protect themselves.

Most people who carry will never ever draw their weapon outside of a gun range.

A lot of people who carry live relative safe lives and have a lower probability thanot others of ever needing to defend themselves.

It's no one else business, however, to decide.

Can you imagine the number of women who have been raped or assaulted that could have prevented becoming a victim had the women been armed?

Many women don't carry because of the nonsense they hear from gun contol advocates like Gifford and Kelly
