Reasonable people can understand, and appreciate Mark Kelly's anger over what happened to his wife.
Affording him the prerogative to be mad as H--- at this world that WE ALL have to live in -he does not have the right to endeavor to destroy a very important provision of HIS, Gabby's, and OUR U.S. Constitution.
I hate to consign Mark to the rabid anti-2A file just yet. I'm going to be praying for him and his wife to find some peace in the fact that her life was spared - miraculously I might add.
Hope his intention is to carry that 1911 to make sure it never happens again.

Re: Sign up to receive updates on Gun violence from Gabby/Ma
Throughout Mark's military career -including NASA- he could not have carried a concealed handgun - so the concept of being personally armed for self defense -at least up until his wife's shooting - was not a viable option.
Active duty personnel are also conditioned to accept strict regulation of firearms on military facilites- so he never really had a chance to exercise the 2A right until he retired. That's why IMO he bought the 1911, and the AR-15 recently.
The military aparently learned nothing from the Ft. Hood mass shooting since state-side bases are essentially GFZ's.
The high command of any military/militia force might well impose certain rules/regulations regarding stand down policy for condition of arms, but that has nothing to do with the 2A protection of the people's right to keep & bear arms not subject to military regulations.
The people as a whole are not active duty military, and therefore not subject to Mark's military model for the 2A.
