Mark Kelly Denied AR-15 Rifle Purchase
A Tucson gun store owner has decided to rescind the sale of a military-style rifle to Mark Kelly, the husband of former U.S. Rep.

Gabby Giffords’s Husband Mark Kelly Buys AR-15 “Assault Weapon” for “Show and Tell”
File this under, "the Laws are for thee and not for Me". Gun Control advocate bought the very weapon he is campaigning to have banned from the American Public. We applaud him for wanting to protect his family with some of the best weaponry available on the Market. The problem is, once he found out that these things can become public, he denied they were for personal use. He stated that these weapons were for, "show and tell" meaning he would use the guns as props when explaining their use. I am sure that Kelly is well aware that there are dummy guns to use for such educational purposes. Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an "assault weapon," he called it)—which he now says he intended as [...]

Ray Kelly Tells 60 Minutes the NYPD has the authority to declare War
NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly appeared on 60 Minutes last night to talk about New York City's counterterrorism unit, created after 9/11, which now numbers 35,000 uniformed police officers and 15,000 civilian employees. The interview with Scott Pelley includes a look at the NYPD's $3 billion joint operations center, developed over the last 10 years and including representatives from the military, FBI, FEMA, and state and local first responders.
