Gabby Giffords: “Words once came easily. Today I struggle to speak. But I’ve not lost my voice. America needs all of us to speak out…”

For me is really important to move ahead, to not look back. I hope others are inspired to keep moving forward, no matter what.

The new gun control restrictions currently being considered by the Democratic majority in H.R. 8 would not have prevented my shooting.

The alleged loopholes that H.R. 8 claims to fix would not have prevented these tragedies either.

Based on similar gun control measures in states like California, H.R. 8 would not deter a criminal from engaging in criminal activity, and it won't decrease gun crime.
