Giffords’ gun control ads attack Kelly Ayotte and Mitch McConnell

http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/04/25/giffords-first-gun-control-ads-attack-kelly-ayotte-and-mitch-mcconnell/

Wednesday airing radio advertisements that hold two Republican senators accountable for voting against the failed gun control legislation.

Giffords’ group, Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS), launched the ads in southern New Hampshire and Kentucky, the home states of Republican Senators Kelly Ayotte and Mitch McConnell. The ads will air for two weeks.

Ayotte and McConnell were instrumental in last week’s defeat of an amendment that would have required universal background checks for gun buyers, despite nine in 10 Americans supporting expanded gun checks.

Ayotte’s approval rating in her home state fell 15 points following her vote against background checks for gun sales last week.


This is good. If Ayotte or any other GOPers lose their seats because of their vote against background checks, then everything changes.

Demographics are changing. Opinions are changing. The gun nut demographic consists mainly of old rural white conservatives -- a shrinking demographic.

indeed changing, and I'm proud to have given to Gabby Giffords' organization on more than one occasion. I support all of the gun sanity organizations, but Gabby and Mark's just seems to have more energy about it.

Thanks for posting.
