Arizona congressional candidate claims that 99% of shootings are done by "Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people." Say what?

Courtesy of TPM:  

A congressional candidate for Arizona's first district seat on Saturday said that most people who carry out mass shootings are Democrats, the Arizona Daily Star reported. 

"It is totally ridiculous if you look at all the fiascos that have occurred, 99 percent of them have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people. So I don’t think you have a problem with the Republicans," candidate Gary Kiehne said during a debate, according to the Arizona Daily Star. 

Kiehne also warned that President Obama is out to take away Americans' guns. 

“Without our gun rights, this President would be after us pretty hard. He’s already tried several times to get them away from us," Kiehne said. 

He tried to bolster his gun rights chops by touting the number of firearms he owns. 

"I probably have more guns and ammo than any one of my competitors because I’m from the country," he said. 

"I can assure you, if you don’t have a firearm, you ought to go buy one," he continued, adding that if someone couldn't afford a gun, he would loan them one of his.

Hey look I'm not saying that EVERY person who kills somebody with a gun is a Republican, but I think we can safely assume that this guys percentages are off by several thousand miles.

What we DO know is that when it comes to fighting against the kind of gun control legislation which would keep deadly weapons out of the hands of mentally unstable individuals, small children, and criminals that it is the Republicans who are quick to put up their dukes in support of their NRA bedfellows.

And by the way, ANYBODY who brags about how many guns he owns is probably one of those people who we need better laws to protect us from.

    AZ congressional candidate says mass shooters are Democrats (with audio)

    ...Congressional District 1 candidate Gary Kiehne made extreme comments about gun rights at a Republican primary debate Saturday.

    Asked how he would protect gun rights, Kiehne said he owns more guns and ammunition than the other candidates and said everyone should own a gun.

    When it comes to mass shootings, “if you look at all the fiascos that have occurred, 99 percent of them have been by Democrats pulling their guns out and shooting people,” Kiehne said to an audience of about 60 people. “So I don’t think you have a problem with the Republicans.”

    Candidate Adam Kwasman said he supports gun rights and said, “it’s a God-given, natural right to keep and bear arms.”

      God was not armed. Neither was Moses, Jesus, or anyone but the Romans. I doubt God wants you showing off your Manhood in front of children. And bragging is not very Christian of you either.

      @3:40 Moses was a murderer. From wiki:

      After Moses had reached adulthood, he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. Moses killed the Egyptian and buried his body in the sand

      Typical AZ repukes can't debate policy issues with facts, so they just blatantly lie instead.

    Anybody that thinks the number of guns they own is a topic of general interest is deficient in normal intelligence. Why doesn't he just blurt out his real meaning: "my weeny is really tiny so I'll distract you with EXPLOSIVE information".

    Bet his viagra bills are hefty.

    Isn't this one of Sarah's picks

    http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/03/13/Sarah-Palin-Endorses-Chris-McDaniel-for-Senate-in-Mississippi

    Looks like his campaign is in hot water with a dirty move against Cochran...he says they're not, but things are not looking so good with the latest developments. No surprise, yet another endorsee of Slacker Sarah would be under a dark cloud:

    ...I'm inclined to say this is what happens when you've got a Tea Party candidate who dabbles in neo-confederate and supremacist politics. But boy is this one weird and dirty.

    Here are the key facts. Incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran's wife has been in a nursing home for more than a decade. Precise details are sketchy but she appears to suffer from some form of advanced dementia and is in precarious health. The Tea Party candidate McDaniel has been dishing out an avalanche of oppo over recent days including a very weird article in Breitbart which in the guise of talking about spending on congressional trips was clearly intended to suggest that Cochran is having an affair.

    But now things have gotten really dark and weird (yes, we're on a very relative scale here.) A pro-McDaniel blogger, Clayton Thomas Kelly, was just arrested for breaking into the nursing home where Cochran's wife lives, videotaping her and then posting the video. Remember, this is an elderly woman who I'm told is in a fairly advanced vegetative state. So in addition to being a serious felony it is just ugly and awful in human terms.

    So Kelly got arrested and obviously it's an embarrassment for the McDaniel campaign since he's a supporter, appears to have had some level of contact with the campaign if not necessarily a relationship and seems to have been trying to advance (in a colossally weird and immoral way) the same wife/aide something something something story the McDaniel campaign has been pushing with the reporters.

    But here's where it gets dicey for the McDaniel campaign and where Cochran's supporters have pounced. It's pretty clear they knew the details of what happened before the news of what happened became public - mainly because McDaniel's campaign manager called her counterpart to commiserate and distance McDaniel from the incident. McDaniel himself also seems to have told reporters he'd only just learned of the story when his campaign manager had said he'd been bummed about it since he heard about it the night before.

    To be clear, there are plenty of ways the McDaniel camp could have found out about this without having any foreknowledge of what happened or any role in approving or instigating it. Indeed, I'd imagine that is by far the more likely possibility. Politics is a small world and Kelly was clearly in their orbit. So you can imagine a bunch of ways they could have found out he'd been arrested and gotten the gist of the story. The campaign flatly denies any advance knowledge and says they found out about it from another local blog.

    Still, it's a very clear and pretty legitimate opening to ask just how they got the information, just what their relationship is with Kelly and - as long as the Cochran camp is on the subject - did you tell him to break into the nursing home?

    The McDaniel people also seem to have gotten at least tripped up on the details of their story. And here's one last point: the cops confiscated Kelly's laptop. What do you bet there are emails on it with people tied to the McDaniel campaign?

    Democrats usually don't even fucking OWN guns much less shoot people with them. The only Democrat I know with guns (4) is my husband, who's from MA (the home of guns and gun manufacture) and very partial to venison. Hubby is very much the Alpha Male type so I imagine he wouldn't hesitate to shoot a bad person, but he's a Democrat through and through and his great politics are the reason I grabbed him right away.

    Only a dimwit like that could make the claim he has (that it is the Dems that are shooting off their guns and killing all the innocent people here in the US)

  10. Only the ignorant, under educated, far right religious freaks like those who worship Palin would actually believe this guy. The rest of us know he too is an ignorant, under educated, far right religious freak the Republican Party welcome with open arms. He's just the type of candidate the Koch brothers love to donate their money to because of their ignorance and they're easy to manipulate.

    She should have been fired on the spot! There is NO excuse to treat a kid like that! (What makes me even more worried is the fact that she takes him into the bathroom at the end of the surveillance video... :/ )

    Well, by his logic, he must be ok with President Obama taking away everyone's guns, since 99 percent of shootings is by Democrats taking their guns out and shooting.

    This is a first, I'm agreeing with a Republican assclown!

    As usual, these idiots don't make any sense. The Dems are the ones shooting people he says and he also says it's the Dems who want gun control. Which one is it Idiot? You can't have it both ways.
