Gabby Giffords

I implore you and your colleagues to pass legislation that will make us all safer by strengthening our nation's gun laws.

Have courage, face your constituents, hold town halls.

We have to stop pretending that violence is not associated with untreated serious mental illness.

Giffords reports that she has regained movement in her right arm and vows to continue fighting for stricter gun control laws.

Low morale affects every aspect of an organization, and DHS consistently, unfortunately, ranks at the bottom when it comes to employee morale.

I believe input directly from constituents and communities affected by policy is critical.

Be bold, be courageous. Americans are counting on you.

Be bold. Be courageous. Americans are counting on you.

I think we can get this done. There is momentum. The American people want this and they want this now.

It's to make sure that criminals don't have the access to a hand gun by going to a gun show or over the internet. It's the most common sense thing we can do to reduce the guns in the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, the dangerously…

Gabby Giffords today returned to the Tucson parking lot where she was shot in the head two years ago to call for stricter gun controls.

I promise to honor the 26 lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I promise to do everything I can to encourage and support common-sense solutions that make my community and our country safer from similar acts of violence. I promise…

Let us make it difficult for the criminals, the terrorists, and the mentally ill to get a gun.

I do not think it would infringe my Second Amendment rights at all.

I certainly am willing to give up my right to own a high-capacity magazine to bring that young woman back, that young girl.

Closing the gun show loophole and requiring private sellers to require a background check before they transfer a gun is--for us, I mean, I cannot think of something that would make our country safer than doing just that.

We are simply two reasonable Americans who have said, 'Enough.'

We are not here as victims. We are speaking to you today as Americans.

The breadth and complexity of gun violence is great, but it is not an excuse for inaction.

Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard, but the time is now. You must act. Be bold, be courageous. Americans are counting on you.

Just ahead, no shortage of passion in today's Senate hearings on gun violence from Gabby Giffords and from others testifying. The question is where are the solid nonpartisan facts and why are they so hard to come by?

Always I fought for what I thought was right, but never did I question the character of those with whom I disagreed. Never did I let pass an opportunity to join hands with someone just because he or she held different ideals.

I don't remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me, to be your voice. Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery, so to do what is best…

Only by providing solid educational foundation for America's youth will we be able to compete in the 21st Century economy of tomorrow.
