Giffords Launches Effort Against Gun Violence

Two years after nearly dying in a gun rampage in Tucson, Arizona, former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is ready to fight back.

FOX News Radio’s Rich Johnson reports from Washington:

Audio clip:

Gabrielle Giffords and husband Mark Kelly have formed a new group called ‘Americans for Responsible Solutions.’ It seeks to raise money to support greater gun control efforts.

In an op-ed piece in ‘USA Today,’ Giffords and Kelly write: Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources.

In other words, they need to raise a lot of money. No specific comment on the group from the NRA, which has called for armed guards in all schools after the Newtown, Connecticut school shootings.

In Washington, Rich Johnson, FOX News Radio.

    Im sure Giffords efforts are with good intentions,and I feel for her as a victim. But to attack the object (Guns) instead of the person(s) using them is just another left tactic. You have all the stars making PSA against guns when they themselves are protected by armed protection, and make violent movies with the very guns they are trying to take away or limit access to is funny. How can you promote something they dont themselves follow. Good luck taking guns away from Americans
