Well, we're not going to reduce murder by taking away laws to prevent it. Guns are used in 68 % of homicides. One way to reduce murder is to reduce the availability of guns in the hands of dangerous individuals by universal background checks, the measure that was just voted down in the Senate.
So your saying criminals were going to go through the background check, thanks for clearing that up.
" "Over two years ago, when I was shot point-blank in the head, the U.S. Senate chose to do nothing. Four months ago, 20 first-graders lost their lives in a brutal attack on their school, and the U.S. Senate chose to do nothing. It's clear to me that if members of the U.S. Senate refuse to change the laws to reduce gun violence, then we need to change the members of the U.S. Senate." Gabrielle Giffords

Universal background checks in California have done nothing to reduce gun crime. In 2011 California was number one in the nation in Gun Homicide rates.

I think that bullet to the head made you forget that an amendment to the constitution is in order, not a unconstitutional law, that stomps on the constitution once again.
Too bad, so sad.
Had he known he would die that very day..... Gabby, you would not have taken one for the team. The odds were in his favor, no one there was pack'n heat, too.
Why should she have to give up her guns simply because she supports better gun control? You want to take someone's right to protect themselves who actually did face and survive a murder attempt with a gun? When was the last time you were shot in the head?
Never-
I am usually armed. I guess I don't want to be shot in the head, so I will vote to protect my gun rights.
Poor Gabby. She's been reduced to bring Obama's anti-gun prop.
Um, she was shot in the head. A bullet went thru her head. A sick man purchased a gun and a large clip and shot her in the head at point-blank range. A bullet from a gun passed thru her brain and caused a massive injury from which she will never fully recover. Perhaps she has her own reasons for fighting.
What a stunning and aggressively ignorant thing to say.

What does surviving a gunshot wound have to do with her blatant, mind-numbing hypocrisy?
She's lame. She's not mentally healthy. She should be the first in line to turn in her guns since in fact she believes the mentally ill should not have guns.
