Hillary Clinton

Dear D _____--Five years ago this month, a man stood three feet away from me in a grocery store parking lot, aimed a gun at my head, and pulled the trigger. I survived, but he killed six people that day, including a 9-year-old girl.
I don't get angry about what happened to me. But I am angry that so many Americans die every single year because we refuse to implement commonsense solutions to prevent gun violence.
Hillary has laid out a smart, sensible plan to make our communities safer from gun violence, and my husband Mark and I are proud to endorse her for president. If you're with us, add your name right now to stand with Hillary and make sure our next president takes strong action on gun violence prevention.
Hillary's plan includes steps like repealing the sweeping immunity protection irresponsible gun dealers and sellers have from lawsuits, closing the loopholes in our laws that let dangerous people buy guns without a background check, and keeping guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists, domestic abusers, and stalkers.
Time and time again, Hillary has done and said what is right, not what is politically expedient. She is the only candidate in this race -- Democrat or Republican -- who has the strength to take on the NRA and keep our communities safe. That's why Mark and I are fighting for her, and why we all need to do our part to make sure she wins this nomination.
Join Hillary and me in this fight. Add your name to stand with us and stand up to the gun lobby, and lets fight together to keep Americans safe:
Add my name
Thank you,
Gabby Giffords

Let's get common sense and "well-regulated" back in politics regarding gun violence.

It's amazing that some Bernie people are trashing Gabby Giffords for the simple reason that she supports Hillary.
On second thought, it's not amazing at all.
