Former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords told Variety magazine one of her goals for 2021 is to see Hollywood writers and producers use their media platforms to push gun control.
Variety reported: “One of Giffords’ priorities for 2021 is to forge relationships with writers, producers, celebrities and decision-makers in Hollywood who can leverage their powerful platforms to speak out against gun violence, call for commonsense laws and support local community efforts to raise awareness about gun safety.”
When asked specifically about the role she hopes Hollywood will play in the gun control push, Giffords said.
Stories are important. Elected officials use them to help get their points across, and for centuries artists have used them to inspire, make us understand points of view different than our own and bring people together. Hollywood and the arts are vitally important to helping us through a period of isolation, bitterness and divisiveness.
But she also made clear that using “film directors” and others in Hollywood to push her gun control message is only one facet of her plan. She noted she will “need and welcome everyone in this fight: doctors, survivors, gun owners, veterans, mothers and fathers,” too.
Giffords has dedicated her public career to gun control efforts since a near-fatal attempt on her life in January 2011 in Tucson, Arizona, while serving as a member of Congress.
Bet that nut job packs.
No – we’re NOT coming for your guns!
Time to buy more and loading gear as well!
Its a must to complete the marxist purgr…
Good luck shoving your twisted ideals about gun violence. More lies and decepton
At the end of 2020, Chicago police reported more than 750 murders, a jump of more than 50% compared with 2019. By mid-December, Los Angeles saw a 30% increase over the previous year with 322 homicides. There were 437 homicides in New York City by Dec. 20, nearly 40% more than the previous year.
Gun free zones save no one
I got something to push…up her arse…then again, I would hate to ruin one of my numerous firearms…
No. The platform maybe in charge yet nothing happened before…8 yrs mind you. Wont happen time nor in this climate. 30 trillion and rising debt, taxed for everything. Aside from the recent rise in pizza profits (covid) over the last year….gun sales have also skyrocketed..which assists in receipts generated by every state. ATF can manage just like they do with alcohol….also seeing huge profits over the last year.
They will not cut off their noses on this. Too much revenue generated.
What could they do? Increase the tax on ammo.
Try making all Hollywood productions with zero firearms. Good luck with that.

You got that right!
I hear they want to get rid of sex scenes too.
Bowahahahahahahahah!
She is/was a Prog. Her shooting was wrong and it’s good she survived. Her shooter was also a Dem and just generally a nut. Her wounding opened the door eventually to her husband running for the Senate.
She’s still wrong, and so is her husband. AZ voters are not too astute; they gifted us with McCain and Flake.
