Mark Kelly Has Not Completed Background Check for AR-15

Mark Kelly made a spectacle of confirming the background check system, but has yet to complete his own background check.

Kelly, the retired astronaut and husband of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, chronicled buying an AR-15 last week as part of his ongoing effort to ban so-called “assault weapons”. Kelly claimed it was easy for anyone to buy a semi-auto rifle, however, he purchased a used AR-15 with a 20-day wait period and has yet to complete the background check.

Douglas MacKinlay, Diamondback Police Supply owner, supplied this information to the media:

On March 5, 2013 Mr. Mark Kelly purchased a Sig Sauer 45 caliber pistol and a Sig Sauer M400 5.56 AR style rifle from my company, Diamondback Police Supply Co. in Tucson, AZ. The rifle, having been purchased in trade from another customer, cannot be released to Mr. Kelly or any other customer for a minimum of 20 days in accordance with local ordinances. Mr. Kelly did not ask for any modifications to the rifle, nor are we making any. Once the hold period is up, Mr. Kelly must then show proper identification, complete the Federal Firearms Transfer Record (Form 4473) and successfully complete the NICS background check prior to his taking physical possession of the firearm.

Awr Hawkins at Breitbart details this chapter of  Kelly’s gun grabbing efforts.

    Oh, so “Mr. Kelly” is also an outright LIAR?

      No, He just”forgot” to tell the media that part ….

    What he proved is the system that is already in place works. (I don’t think that was the outcome he was going for though. Snicker.)

    He admittedly is purchasing it for another person be it the Sheriffs department, therefore he cannot purchase it to begin with. If the company knowingly sells it to him they are in breach of laws as well.

    I shot a message to diamond back saying it would be in their interest to deny his purchase, because he said publicly he was purchasing for another entity. And thats illegal.

    But…but…They
    tell us anyone can buy an “assault” rifle in the morning, massacre a
    schoolyard full of chil’ren, and still make the all you can eat lunch
    buffet with time to spare.
    Epic FAIL on showing how “easy” it is to legally purchase a weapon in the wild, wild west.

    Obviously his purchase must be denied and probably should be reported to law officials (who care) that he attempted to purchase a firearm and publicly lied on his application.

    Has anyone pointed out yet that law abiding citizens can pass a background check easily, becuase they’re law abiding citizens? His motive would only work if he commited some felony that disqualified him from passing a background check in the first place… Otherwise he better hope he passed.
