Gabby Giffords: “It doesn`t have to be this way. It`s beyond time for our leaders to take action.”

I'm optimistic. It will be a long hard haul, but I'm optimistic.

Stopping gun violence takes courage, the courage do what`s right. We must never stop fighting, fight, fight, fight.

If you don't have the guts or the courage to do something about this issue and send a message to the American people, who desperately turn to us, then it is time for you to leave.
