Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband launched a political action committee aimed at curbing gun violence on Tuesday, the second anniversary of the Tucson shooting that killed six people and left her critically injured.

Giffords and Mark Kelly wrote in an op-ed published in USA Today that their Americans for Responsible Solutions initiative would help raise money to support greater gun control efforts.

"Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources," they wrote in the column.

They said that it will "raise funds necessary to balance the influence of the gun lobby."

The Giffords need to Fade away like a fart in the wind.....Giffords Stay out of my town !

Giffords receives Profile in Courage award
May. 5,`13 — Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords received the 2013 Profile in Courage award at the John F. Kennedy Library on Sunday in recognition of the political, personal, and physical courage she has demonstrated in her fearless public advocacy for policy reforms aimed at reducing gun violence.

Giffords, who was seriously wounded in a 2011 shooting when a lone gunman opened fire as she met with constituents in a Tucson, Ariz., shopping mall, and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, have been lobbying for more gun control legislation. This year, on the second anniversary of the January shooting, the couple started Americans for Responsible Gun Ownership, an organization that "supports the right to bear arms and responsible public policy on guns and gun ownership." Caroline Kennedy, President of the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, presented the award to Giffords.

Kennedy took a moment to salute the first responders and the citizens of Boston. Referring to the Boston Marathon bombings last month, Kennedy said, "All Americans have been inspired by the countless acts of selfless bravery and compassion we saw during the violence that struck this city on Patriots Day." In presenting the award to the former Arizona Congresswoman, Kennedy said, "Gabby Giffords has turned a personal nightmare into a movement for political change." Earlier Sunday, Giffords and Kelly spent time visiting victims of the marathon bombings at Spaulding Rehabilitation Center in Boston. "For victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, we extend our deepest sympathies to all of you who have endured violence and loss," Kelly said. "Courage means doing everything we can to prevent other parents from having to endure that loss," he said.

Alluding to her disappointment in Congress' failure to pass gun control legislation last week, Giffords called for courage from lawmakers. "I believe we all have courage inside," she said. "I just wish there was more courage in Congress." "It's been a hard two years for me," Giffords said, "but I want to make the world a better place more than ever." Kelly also praised his wife. "There are people who make things happen. There are people who watch things happen. And there are people who wonder what just happened," Kelly said. "Gabby Giffords is a person who makes things happen."

Kennedy cited Giffords' strength to carry on a difficult fight. "Our family is still suffering from the heartbreak caused by gun violence," Kennedy said. "No one should have to lose a husband, a wife, a father, a child, to senseless murder. "But as our nominee has shown, out of that pain and tragedy, we must find the strength to carry on, to give meaning to our lives, and to build a more just and peaceful world."

I'd like to see Brian Stowe get the same award.

Giffords is an admirable person who has shown remarkable resiliency. She has been neither brave, heroic nor particularly courageous.

Hypocrites.
I guess since Ms Giffords political career is over and her husband is no longer an astronaut, these two hacks need something else to feed their undying need for attention.

 

[Katzndogz]

Since Sandy Hook, not even the Loughner shooting when a pothead went crazy with a gun, but since Sandy Hook, there have been 5 million applications for background checks for new gun owners. What does that tell you about gun control efforts? How many existing gun owners are there? How many who bought a gun without a background check?

No wonder gun control efforts have failed.

If she intends to be an attention getting hack, she needs a new wig.

...we need to curb violent people...not guns. Violent people will get what they want...illegally...no matter what laws are passed to deny rights to others.

 

[Katzndogz]

Curb swords, spears and bows and arrows.

What utter nonsense this gun control crap is. If criminals could design a law that would help them the most, this is it.

 

[OriginalShroom]

I guess there is finally a PAC that the left likes...

Some how I seem to remember and other husband and wife team. They were Brady's if I remember correctly. They too faded away.

Maybe they'll raise enough money to get the votes. We have the best politicians that money can buy. Principle doesn't count these days.

It's a free country they are welcome to try I hope they can come up with some ideas that would actually work instead of the same old rehashed stuff that has failed in the past.

So I guess that twat learned just how much money there is to be made in raising money.

B/c she used to be pro 2nd amendment

used to feel sorry for her, now she's just another petty tyrant working to take away our rights.

Glad to see hypocrisy at it's finest. Go Gabby.

No finer hypocrisy exists than someone that swore to uphold the Constitution and then works to destroy it.
