Gun-control advocate Gabby Giffords attended a ceremony Tuesday in which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced a bill that would criminalize private gun sales.
The legislation is titled H.R. 8 to honor the former congresswoman Giffords, who survived a shooting eight years ago, Jan. 8, 2011, Breitbart News reported.
Pelosi issued a tweet saying, It is truly blessing to have former Rep. @GabbyGiffords join us to introduce #HR8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, eight years after the Tucson shooting.
Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., joined Pelosi in introducing the bill.
They were accompanied by three Republicans: Reps. Peter King of New York, Brian Mast of Florida and Chris Smith of New Jersey.
Thompson tweeted an ABC News report explaining the bill expands background checks to cover non-retail gun sales.
Breitbart pointed out, however, that the legislation would not have prevented the attack on Giffords. Her attacker passed a background check to acquire the handgun he used.

More Democrat kabuki theater for the uninformed masses that vote for them. It paints the Republicans as the heavies who make America unsafe, to those who support the disarm America movement, but apparently have the brains of an ant. Though I suspect an ant is actually smarter than most of their supporters.
