“Help hold the gun lobby accountable” – Giffords Law Center
Turns out, the stereotype of ambulance-chasing lawyers holds true at the gun control group Giffords Law Center. They just want you to hold on long enough to alter your will or living trust to fork over whatever money you won’t need in the afterlife to their favorite cause – stripping Americans of their Second Amendment freedoms.
It would be easy to miss if you’re not on the Giffords email lists. They’re not putting out reverse-mortgage-style commercials, but Rob Romano at Firearms Policy Coalition posted to X, the social media site formerly called Twitter, of his personal appeal for his money should the unfortunate happen. For him, at least. Giffords Law Center is looking to make a windfall.

The money will be surely well spent. Giffords’ solicitation claims that by putting affirmations into action, bequeathed money will “keep yourself and loved ones safe while fighting for laws, policies, and programs proven to save lives long into the future.”
Don’t think that Giffords is suddenly going to advocate for actually locking up criminals that misuse firearms, hold corrupt and soft-on-crime, George Soros-backed district attorneys accountable for turning America’s metropolitan areas into post-apocalyptic hellscapes or backing programs that actually teach firearm safety and safe firearm storage. They won’t go that far.
Giffords said in their solicitation that pledges made to Giffords Law Center will protect people and pets in donors’ lives, plan for the distribution of assets and “help hold the gun lobby accountable.”
Safeguard the Pet (Project)
What the money will really do is line lawyers’ pockets as they drag firearm manufacturers into court over bogus claims. Giffords has a hobby-farm of lawyers and self-described “experts” that specialize in blaming firearm manufacturers for the harm caused by criminals. They use the courts to try to convince judges and juries that a firearm that was lawfully made and lawfully sold, and subsequently misused by a criminal to harm someone else, is somehow the fault of the manufacturer.

That’s like telling Louisville Slugger that they should have known their bats would be used to assault someone, so pay up.
It’s a long-term battle that Giffords, along with Michael Bloomberg’s-bankrolled Everytown for Gun Safety and Brady United, have waged to convince lawmakers to roll back the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). That’s the law enacted in 2005, after both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate passed with a wide bipartisan consensus, that prevents frivolous lawsuits against firearm manufacturers for the harm caused by the criminal misuse of their products by remote third parties.
Bogus Attacks
These lawsuits were never successful when they were tried in the late 1990s and early 2000s. That was also the same time when President Bill Clinton’s Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo said the point of all those lawsuits wasn’t to be successful. It was to inflict overwhelming legal costs, or “death by a thousand cuts.”
That was at the same time the Clinton administration was twisting the arms of firearm manufacturers to get them to support gun control legislation. The Federalist Society noted that then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer tried to coerce Glock into going along with gun control by offering a crime syndicate-style offer – one they couldn’t refuse. He told them to sign an agreement to cave to President Clinton’s gun control demands and if they didn’t, AG Spitzer promised, “if you do not sign, your bankruptcy lawyers will be knocking at your door.”
These two actors of course later were elected governor of New York. Both Gov. Spitzer and Gov. Cuomo resigned from office for separate sex scandals.
Giffords believes it knows best what to do with your money. After all, Giffords PAC has given over $1.7 million in contributions to gun control candidates since 1990. They’ve spent nearly $3 million in lobbying efforts to force through unconstitutional gun control since 1998 and doled out $6.6 million in outside spending since 2000.
The only pets kept safe by donating money through a will are Giffords pet gun control lawyers.

These people are sick in the head, disgusting leaches they are, F-them.
What Gifford apparently hasn’t realized is, she was one of the leftist liberals sacrificial lambs to help strengthen the narrative for anti 2A Activist! A classic, “The Left Eating It’s Own”!!!
It’s sickening to think that the only reason this woman is alive is because a ” good guy with a gun ” saved her life.
Every day since, instead of being grateful she basically spits in that ” good guys ” face with her anti 2nd Amendment agenda.
Gifford are unamerican traitors and should be arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to death by hanging by the neck until dead!
Willie Jeff Clinton, was accused by several women of rape but the Demsheviks rigerlously defended the man for decades. This is same party would later adopt the mantra “always believe a woman” in cases of sexual harrasment and assault but WJC is still a lefty icon.
Spitzer was charged under the seldom used Mann Act of sexual crimes. Never would happened if Spitzer did NOT spearhead investigations into corrupt practices on “Wall Street” that cost investors billions. Lesson learned.
Coumo was chased from office on sexual accusations, a new era had caught up to at least one lefty dinosauers.
The HUD under BHO would use of rewarding and withholding federal funds to destroy suburbs and build low income housing while moving the worst elements of society into the few remaining enclaves of the middle class “American Dream.” This dystopian agenda did NOT of course include elite ateas where the closet homo, Barry, could build his bunker to survive in the scarry world he helped create. Trump ended this BHO policy, the fake POTUS (genuine POS) has brought it back.
([{Never before, has so many, been duped, by so few. }])
Now it seems that word of Barry Soetoro’s closet homosexuality can no longer be hidden from the masses. Is it likely the “deep state” will kill a few schlubs to try and tamp down the unwanted scrutiny? You betcha.
I was never duped by this foreign born huckster. Yep, he was a CIA (Criminals In-charge of America) fraud perpetrated on the world.
Three homosexuals who knew Barry very well from his former church were MURDERED with 40 days of each other just as his political career was going national. All 3 MURDERS remain unsolved. Why did’t Barry ever talk about the MURDERS? Like the consummate politician he is, Barry could have exploited the death of 3 close friends. He could have used a couple of the MURDERS to push his anti 2A agenda. Barry never once talked about those 3 MURDERS, why not?
Sadly, another death has hit the close circle of BHO. Barry’s personal chef died in what appears to be a drowning but few details being provided. Who was present? Who is this guy?
Barry’s personal chef has reportedly drowned in 3 feet of water while paddle boarding at the Marth Vineyards home that Barry shares with his lovely wife, big Mike. Chef, Tafari Campbell will soon be buried and forgotten so the US jurisprudence can once again focus on the many crimes of Donald Trump. Initial stories reported that Barry and Mike were not at home at the time of the incidence but those details have proven to be false.
In a twist of unfortunate coincedences, Barry suffered a black eye and cuts all over his hands, reportedly while playing golf. This is clearly a time where the privicy of the Soetoro’s should be respected while they grieve the loss of a dear friend and Barry’s golf injuries heal. Thank you to the US press once again, for such professional discretion during this national tradgedy.
Forgot to mention that Campbell was totally nude when he died.
These things happen all the time.
In 2005, Walter Stanley Scheib, was White House Chef during the Clinton years but dismissed by the Bush family. In 2015, Mr. Schieb managed to drown the desert.
I’m sure they will start knocking on doors and some will donate bullets instead
