Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband,
astronaut Mark Kelly, share their impassioned argument for
responsible gun ownership.
After the 2011 Tucson
shooting that nearly took her life, basic questions consumed
Gabby Giffords and her family: Would Gabby survive the
bullet through her brain? Would she walk again? Speak? Her
hard-won recovery, though far from complete, has now allowed
her and Mark to ask larger questions that confront us as a
nation: How can we address our nation’s epidemic of gun
violence? How can we protect gun rights for law abiding
citizens, while keeping firearms out of the hands of
criminals and the mentally ill? What can we do about gun
trafficking and other threats to our communities?
Enough goes behind the scenes of Gabby and Mark’s
creation of Americans for Responsible Solutions, an
organization dedicated to promoting responsible gun
ownership and encouraging lawmakers to find solutions to gun
violence, despite their widespread fear of the gun lobby. As
gun owners and strong supporters of the Second Amendment,
Gabby and Mark offer a bold but sensible path forward,
preserving the right to own guns for collection, recreation,
and protection while taking common-sense actions to prevent
the next Tucson, Aurora, or Newtown. Poll after poll shows
that most Americans agree with Gabby and Mark’s reasonable
proposals.
As the book follows Gabby and Mark from
the halls of Congress to communities across the country, it
provides an intimate window into the recovery of one of our
nation’s most inspiring public figures and reveals how she
and her husband have taken on the role of co-advocates for
one of the defining issues of our time.
