#He will become a laughter and a byword tv

'We moved her a little bit in the right direction,' Kelly says.

McSally, a retired Air Force pilot, last week released a statement saying she supports tighter rules on stalkers, and Americans for Responsible Solutions took down the ad.

#He will become a laughter and a byword tv

A searing TV ad (a Politico headline about it read, 'Gabby Giffords gets mean') showed a local woman tearfully describing how an enraged ex-boyfriend had murdered her 19-year-old daughter. The super PAC's biggest expenditures have been nearly $1 million against Martha McSally, the Republican challenger for Giffords' former congressional seat. Neither Giffords nor Kelly takes a salary from the group Kelly does some outside speaking and consulting. Their group's political action committee last month reported raising $17.5 million for the 2014 campaign cycle and spending $2.5 million so far. Jeff Flake, to vote against the measure, she says 'millions!' - a reference to the NRA's sizable campaign contributions to him and other politicians.īoth insist they are in the fight for the long haul, with the goal of forging a formidable movement that would provide a balance to the power of the NRA. Asked about the decision by a friend and fellow Arizonan, Republican Sen. 'Slow, really slow,' she says of the process ahead, noting it took decades for the National Rifle Association to build its clout. Giffords says she was disappointed but not surprised. It fell six votes short of the 60 needed to move forward in the Senate. Despite national revulsion to a string of mass shootings and overwhelming support in polls, a bipartisan proposal they lobbied for to expand federal background checks for gun buyers failed to get over a key hurdle last year. The 'right thing' she and Kelly have decided to do is to push for laws that would make it harder for criminals, stalkers and the mentally ill to buy guns.

With the death of former White House press secretary James Brady last month, Giffords is the nation's most prominent victim of gun violence. At one point, Kelly shorthands a reference to the tragedy simply as 'The Safeway.' That said, she has progressed further than she thought possible in the terrifying weeks after she awoke from a coma, remembering little about the shooting at a 'Congress on Your Corner' event on a Saturday morning outside a grocery store.
