Associated Press
PHOENIX The head of the Arizona Republican Party faced a backlash Friday after sending a fundraising email that said Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kelly, who rose to prominence when his wife was shot in the head, will be stopped "dead in his tracks."
The email sent Thursday by Arizona GOP Chairman Kelli Ward highlighted Kellys advocacy for gun control, a cause the retired astronaut took on after his wife and then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords survived a 2011 shooting in Tucson that killed six and injured more than a dozen.

(3,691 posts)Mark Kelly Can Win The AZ Senate Race and the GOP is scared sh*tless. It's hard to imagine the Dems recruiting a stronger candidate than Kelly.

(15,226 posts)The gun grabbing comment is purely to provoke violence. There are simply people who should not be allowed near guns. These types of irresponsible comments will require very stringent controls to eliminate the threat to public safety. Making this type of threat should result in the very personal gun grabbing they claim to loathe.

Have you ever threatened bodily harm to a Political Candidate or Government official?
