Gabby Giffords, Mark Kelly Booed at Gun Show
2013-10-16
[Breitbart] As Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly were introduced at a gun show in upstate New York over the weekend, the sound of light applause was interrupted with boos.
Gun show producers, what were they thinking ?
Wonder if it was a set-up, and whether it was done to help burnish Kelly/Giffords street cred with the NPR tote-bag crowd...
It appears that even after making it clear they plan to be the anti-NRA in 2014, Giffords and her husband wanted to attend a gun show to continue to project the image that they are average American gun owners like the rest of us.

Gun show attendees did not seem to buy it.
Proving once again that upstaters are VERY different than NYC folk.
The Aypee reported the boos, and said there were also persons who picketed the appearance of Giffords and her husband by holding signs emblazoned with a swastika that read, "Gun control made the Holocaust possible."

One of the persons picketing said, "I believe this is a publicity stunt for Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords. They say they're Second Amendment supporters, I don't believe they are."
Nor does anyone else.

#2  I think they are typical of liberals. They want to own guns but want to restict everyone else.

I am sure the guy who started the booing was waving a Conferate flag but really works for the southern poverty center.
