Back to clinging to Gabby for the media attention he so desperately seeks.

Via The Hill:

An Arizona gun store said Monday it was canceling a purchase by Mark Kelly — the husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (R-Ariz.) — after it became apparent he was buying the weapon in a political stunt designed to demonstrate how easy it was to obtain assault weapons.

“While I support and respect Mark Kelly’s 2nd Amendment rights to purchase, possess, and use firearms in a safe and responsible manner, his recent statements to the media made it clear that his intent in purchasing the Sig Sauer M400 5.56mm rifle from us was for reasons other then [sic] for his personal use,” Douglas MacKinlay, the owner of Diamondback Supply Company, said in a post to his store’s Facebook page.

“In light of this fact, I determined that it was in my company’s best interest to terminate this transaction prior to his returning to my store to complete the Federal From [sic] 4473 and NICS background check required of Mr. Kelly before he could take possession this firearm.”
