Officer Daniel Webster, Albuquerque Police Department.
Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ recent visit to New Mexico to call for restrictive firearms legislation is further evidence that House Bill 50 and Senate Bill 48 are products of a national gun control agenda. Her organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, joins the chorus of outside groups led by billionaire New Yorker Michael Bloomberg pushing for burdensome regulations on the sale and temporary loaning of your personal firearms, even to people close to you, such as friends, neighbors, co-workers and even some family members…
…at the public hearing on HB50 before the New Mexico House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee, it became more personal for me. The bill’s author, as well as her lead witness, both invoked the name of my late husband, Albuquerque Police Department officer Daniel Webster, to promote the measure. Along with the media, they continue to imply that had these proposed laws been in place, my husband’s death would have been prevented…
I am not okay with this, and I know Dan would not have wanted his name associated with this bill either. He was against expanded background checks of any kind and stood behind our Second Amendment rights with honor and appreciation. The idea of him having to go to a licensed firearms dealer, complete federal paperwork and pay a fee for a records check on his buddy at work or on my dad if he wanted to sell or loan a gun to either of them is not only ridiculous, but intrusive. He certainly did not believe this type of gun control would solve the larger problems in our communities.
Holy crap! This means they did not even have the decency to meet with the widow and ask permission to use her husband’s name. How gorramed conceited are they that they think themselves fail-proof and people will go along with what they do because they are special and above common courtesy because they are doing important work. And probably do not care about the pain they inflicted on the widow because she is little people anyway and Giffords and Kelly know better that you and me and all the Gun Nuts.

They are no better than the grave diggers of old, stealing bodies for a profitable scheme. It is really disgusting.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack.
Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA.
I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed.
I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.
In NM, Bloomberg and Co will probably get away with it.
Damn, that’s low-down even for them!
She should sue. Might not win but would out the ny meddling.
