Giffords launches website to prevent gun violence
Former Rep. Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly have launched their own website that specifically encourages elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership.
Below is a link to Giffords and Kelly's Website and Op-Ed
she just wants some more cash.
I see ppl are still dancing around the real issue at hand. Nothing will be done about gun violence unless mental health is addressed.
Time would be better spent going after crazy people instead of the gun lobby
The gun lobbists are crazy people and how much is the nra paying you?
Bravo to Gabby and Mark for working through their own pain and anguish to launch this website. I was a proud const i tuent of Gabby's and her courage during her remarkable recovery proves that miracles do happen. Boo Hoo to those trolls that think she's in it for money.
I wish them luck.
Sorry Sharon, that will NEVER happen! While we're on the subject what do u suppose we do with millions of firearms already out there? Just turn them over? Good luck with that..........!
Therefore let's not do anything. Right.
The key word is "let`s" ( let us).
We the people need to lock up the mentally ill ( them) and let (us) people keep our firearms for whatever protection we need. It is our second amendment right. You don`t really expect Barry`s imaginary nannystate to save your endangered family do you ? I hope not.
Buy-back gun programs in poor areas, for example.
A poor choice for the name of the website. I guess we are considered irresponsible if we have a different opinion on gun laws.
I think they are afraid of the gun loby
Well gee, I am fully willing to think that getting rid of guns will solve the "gun violence" part in our society. Just like getting rid of all the cars and riding bikes everywhere would eliminate drunk driving accidents and people that think the roads are a nascar track..
We as Americans need to realize that there is no utopia. In this case the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. We have people in this country that are perfectly willing to murder someone for driving the speed limit, for the $12.00 in the cash register...even a total eradication of guns in the USA will not cure human ignorance and violence. The problem isn't guns, it's us and it always has been.
Banning guns from law abiding owners is like cutting off the arm because your finger is bleeding. Crazy people and criminals don't care a dump about your laws. How do we fix that? Well even I as a gun owner would volunteer to help figure that one out.
anti gun librals need to BACK OFF were not talking about smoking in public this time .its much bigger than that
She looks beautiful ! I am so impressed with her.
You sound like a shallow voter
@G_MONEY: precisely the reason USA as a country needs to talk about it, because it's much bigger an issue than smoking!
When will people realize that guns are inatimate objects and it takes a person picking up that gun and pulling the trigger for it to be harmful. Let's get down to the source of the problem–PEOPLE. Stupidity in this country is a VERY widespread disease.
Really, seriously?? Of course it takes hands to man a gun, but gun ownership is a privilege that only responsible people should have. If you get your gun stolen you should be banned from owning one FOR LIFE. If you have a family member who commits a crime using YOUR gun, you should be banned from owning one FOR LIFE. If a kid dies because of YOUR gun you should be banned from owning one FOR LIFE.
I used to have a great deal of respect and admiration for Gabby Giffords ... until now.
She was a representative . . . How much encouragement did she give to her fellow elected officials before it became personal?
"Do you idiots really think that banning all firearms is the right choice to prevent anymore shooting?
Answer: Yes we do. And I think bad guys includes the NRA
