Gun-control proponent Mark E. Kelly, husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (he referred to it as an "assault weapon,") which he intended to illustration the need for more stringent gun laws.
Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911 semi-automatic pistol at a gun store in Tucson, Arizona.
Neil McCabe, editor of Guns & Patriots newsletter, reported that “Mark E. Kelly, made purchases which included an AR-15 - sometimes described as an "assault rifle" - at 3:30 pm on the afternoon of March 5 at Diamondback Police Supply in Tucson, Arizona.
