By opposing national reciprocity, Giffords and lawmakers like Senator Chris Murphy (D) are literally working against citizens who have received some level of firearm education and/or training, and have undergone background checks for their permits. This comes even as Giffords’ gun control group is demanding background checks as a way to know who should and should not be able to own a gun.

According to Newsweek, Giffords spoke at a press conference Wednesday, saying, “Stopping gun violence takes courage. We must never stop fighting.… The nation’s counting on you.” She took up a campaign for background checks just two years after an attacker shot her with a gun he acquired via a background check

They do support the right to bear arms - for they bodyguards and rich friends.

Ever wonder how Donald and Eric got CCW licenses in NYC, when almost nobody else can?

Like Jim Brady. A Reagan White House staff member, shot in the head, wakes up as a democrat.

Shouldn’t they push to ensure those who are mentally diminished should be denied access to firearms? I saw a clip from (I believe) a Las Vegas range where gabby was shooting and started to turn towards the onlookers/observers/press.(Maybe the were proving they support your right to got to an approved gun range?) Mark quickly checked her and the firearm. A danger to herself and others?

It is way past time for this mentally challenged Gabby person to exit stage left. She and hubby have had their 15 min of fame already and we are tired of listening to them bash the 2nd Amendment because it is not interpreted the same way they see it.

Not related directly but I was just researching whatever happened to this little gem from Giffor's state of AZ (also my adopted home state since '65)....AG Brnovich Files Petition for Special Action to Repeal Tucson Gun Ordinance

gun control proponent Gabby Giffords

Bullcrap. She's not a "proponent" of anything; she's a meat-puppet for that wife-abusing piece of filth Mark Kelly.

Why doesn’t that woman just sit back and enjoy the desert sunsets? Democrat women just don’t seem to recognize when no one is interested in hearing what they have to say any longer - IF anyone ever did. Why don’t they just start an old hag’s club and she and Hillary can be in charge? There’s already a large concentration of them to sweep up both in DC and all state houses.
