Gabby Giffords tweet; "Speaking is hard for me, but I can't be more clear..." [View all]

Link to tweet

Gabrielle Giffords ✔ @GabbyGiffords

The House passed the bipartisan background checks bill. Senator McConnell is blocking it.

Today, I’m delivering this letter to McConnell urging him to bring #HR8 or #S42 to a vote.

Speaking is hard for me, but I can’t be more clear: The Senate must pass #BackgroundChecksNow.
