Giffords asks supporters to “help hold the gun lobby accountable” by putting the organization in their will or designating it as a beneficiary on their retirement/life insurance plans: pic.twitter.com/JuRegGP5Wq

It seems the stereotype of ambulance-chasing lawyers holds true for those 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 (yet), but Rob Romano at Firearms Policy Coalition posted to X, the social media site formerly called Twitter, posted personal appeal for his money should the unfortunate happen. Unfortunate or 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. It won’t hold corrupt and soft-on-crime, George Soros-backed district attorneys accountable for turning America’s metropolitan areas into post-apocalyptic hellscapes and it won’t back 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.”
Safeguarding the Pet (Project)
What the money bequeathed to them 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” who 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 baseball bats would be used as weapons 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, are waging 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 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.”
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 Cosa Nostra-style offer…one they couldn’t refuse.
He told them to sign an agreement to cave in to President Clinton’s gun control demands. Then 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 in disgrace for separate sex scandals.
Giffords thinks it knows best what to do with your money after you’re dead and gone. 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 laws since 1998 and doled out $6.6 million in outside spending since 2000.
The only pets that will be kept safe by bequeathing money to Giffords will be pet gun control lawyers.
So does the NRA.
LOL!
So die already. The fewer fascists the better.
I’ve seen a lot of scams in my spam folder. This is a new on to me. “Put us in your will, to he11 with your kids and grandkids, they can scavenge carrion on the highway if they want to eat!”
Gabby expanding the grift, and in return Giffords will make sure that you’ll vote democrat in perpetuity…
Since everyone is going to die sooner or later make sure the one or ones who receive your worldly possessions are worthy otherwise some dumbbell relative or so called friend may turn your estate into a pile of garbage.
If Biden-nomics keeps going most of Americans are not going to have any money to leave in their will or be able to afford life insurance.
@.40 cal
But, but…our basic needs will be “doled” out by The Big Guy.
As Uncle Bidet says: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”
So even in death you can help screw over your fellow citizens…
Maybe, Giffords should lead by example and depart first.
In return for you naming them the beneficiary of your life insurance or your will ask the Giffords to name you beneficiary of their life insurance and leave their money to you in their will. I’ll bet I can give you a pretty good idea of what their answer will be.
I’ll bet if you could look at the Giffords life insurance and will beneficiaries that you will find they did not leave it to ‘gun control’ efforts of the Giffords foundation or any other.
Screw that, I will leave whatever inflation and Biden-omics has not eaten up to my friend’s dog before I give to this gun hater. That shot in the head must have destroyed a hell of a lot, if she seriously thinks anyone (other than her own ilk) is going to freely give her money.
After Biden’s precedent, she could become a future presidential candidate.
I want to be named in her and her husbands will. The sooner they are both rotting in Hell the better.
I’ll put them down for $0.01, that way processing it costs them many times more than they get and is an overall drain on them
Dang gal! You must have a wHoLE in yer head to have such a lamebrained idea🙄🤓😀
Now, that ain’t nice
I’d sooner donate to an art school than give this Marxist a penny! If I left anyone anything when I go beside family or church, it’s be to Glock, S&W, Taurus, Beretta, SIG, Walther, etc….. I hope those scumbags somehow read some of the replies and see that I’ve written that I wish the Gifford’s shooter was more accurate!!!!!!! These corrupt treasons POSs cannot be dead enough!!!! What part of “shall not be infringed” is so difficult to comprehend??????
I willed all my money to a Cat.
Poor bastard is going to starve to death.
It’ll have to eat dog food with the rest of the poors.
I will leave her all my debts..
I’d rather leave it all to those annoying cars for kids even though the commercials make me want to pour hot wax into my ears.
That’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard of.
Giffords is nothing but a desperate angry bitch.
I’ll leave them something in my will – a bag of dog crap.
Their cats can just go to the pound anyways.
They have two chances of getting me to remember them in my Last Will and Testament. NONE and LESS THAN NONE.
Olr Gaggy Girifter…..pimped out by hubby as the Village Idiot of Gun Control.
