Read Gabby Giffords' Fierce, Powerful Piece on Today's GOP Filibuster
LatestIn a New York Times’ Op-Ed entitled “A Senate in the Gun Lobby’s Grip”, Gabby Giffords’ joins Obama in unleashing hell on the Republicans (and four Democrats) who filibustered the bipartisan gun background-check proposal earlier today: “Senators say they fear the N.R.A. and the gun lobby. But I think that fear must be nothing compared to the fear the first graders in Sandy Hook Elementary School felt as their lives ended in a hail of bullets.”
This compromise is favored by ninety percent of Americans — NINETY PERCENT! — and yet… when it comes to the United States Senate, it appears there’s no place for common sense amongst these shameful cowards.
