Big get for Hillary. Gabby Giffords is set to endorse her for President. Given the comparable record on this issue between Hillary and Sanders, it is perhaps not surprising Gabby would do so. Still a significant endorsement, one that IMO is likely to loom large for those who rank gun control as one of their top concerns (myself included)...

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Arizona, is expected to endorse Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, a source close to Giffords tells CBS News.

Giffords and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, will officially announce their endorsement of the candidate later this week, with Clinton's position on gun control playing a role in their decision.

The couple's endorsement is a personal one and not a decision from their political action committee, Americans for Responsible Solutions.

The former Arizona congresswoman has been a staunch advocate of tightening firearm legislation since 2011, when a gunman opened fire at a supermarket parking lot in Tucson, shooting Giffords in the head and killing six others. This weekend was the fifth anniversary of the shooting.
