Gabby Giffords made deeply moving opening remarks at today’s Senate hearing on gun violence. This was the first hearing on guns since President Obama stepped forward with his recommendations, and Former Congresswoman Giffords made the most of the opportunity to call on members of Congress to take action now:
“We must do something. It will be hard, but the time is now. You must act. Be bold. Be courageous. Americans are counting on you.”
Gabby Giffords’ heartfelt appeal to Congress

Gabby Giffords made deeply moving opening remarks at today’s Senate hearing on gun violence. This was the first hearing on guns since President Obama stepped forward with his recommendations, and Former Congresswoman Giffords made the most of the opportunity to call on members of Congress to take action now.
Former Congresswoman Giffords and her husband Captain Mark Kelly called on Congress to take immediate action.
Here’s what Congress can do right now to reduce gun violence:
- Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in this country.
- Stop the sale of military-style assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
- Make gun trafficking a federal crime with harsh penalties.
These are simple solutions that will save lives. They don’t interfere with the Second Amendment, and they are popular with the overwhelming majority of Americans — including gun owners and NRA members.
We need to follow Gabby Giffords’ lead and call on Congress to act RIGHT NOW:
Thank you for supporting Gabby and calling on Congress to act.

It’s a travesty that she should have to appeal to Congress for common sense legislation. Still. I am deeply moved by her commitment, strength and courage. She is an exceptional woman. Let’s hope they hear her…
