Mark Kelly has reached a new low-even for the anti-gun zealot crowd. he's gone beyond using his injured wife,former congresswoman Gabby Giffords as a stage prop to lying on national tee vee.
" Mark Kelly lied on national television about how many such transactions occur without a background check. Asked by CNN, Kelly said
(at 3:30 in the video), “right now 60 percent of all gun sales
go--occur--with a background check. Why do we allow the 40 percent, the
other 40 percent, to happen?”
Kelly and his wife, former
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, are the co-founders of the gun control
group, Americans for Responsible Solutions. On their group’s website,
they make the “40 percent” claim in its most common form, saying “up to 40 percent of all gun transfers . . . take place without a background check.”
However they choose to word it, the claim is false, and even the media
have been saying so for more than two years. In July 2012, the Tampa
Bay Times faulted Michael Bloomberg for claiming
“There’s a loophole where you can sell guns without a background check
at a gun show. Forty percent of guns are sold that way, same thing on
the internet.” "
