The Pentagon is currently reviewing a video involving astronaut Mark Kelly, as there are concerns that it may violate Department of Defense policies. The video in question shows Kelly, a retired Navy captain and husband to former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, handling a firearm while discussing gun control.
The incident took place at a shooting range in Arizona last month, where Kelly was seen handling a pistol and an AR-15 rifle. According to sources, the Pentagon is considering possible disciplinary actions against Kelly for his handling of the firearms in the video.
In response to the controversy, Kelly defended his actions by stating that he believes in the Second Amendment and that responsible gun ownership includes knowing how to safely handle firearms. He emphasized that he is a gun owner himself and supports common-sense gun laws.
The Pentagon has not issued an official statement regarding the ongoing review of the video or any potential disciplinary measures against Kelly.
This development comes at a time of heightened sensitivity around gun-related issues in the United States, with ongoing debates and legislative efforts to address gun violence and promote gun safety.
