Live stream: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Rep. Gabby Giffords introduce gun control bill
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords joins Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and gun control advocates Tuesday to introduce a bill that would expand background checks for prospective gun buyers.
The bill is being introduced exactly eight years after then-Rep. Giffords was shot at a community event with constituents in an Arizona supermarket parking lot. Six people were killed, and 12 others were hurt in the shooting.
Giffords has since become an outspoken advocate for gun reform. Writing in Paste BN last year, she said the "tragedy has given me agency, courage and historic purpose in the movement to save lives from gun violence."
She and Pelosi are holding a press conference with fellow gun control advocates. Paste BN is providing live coverage, which you can watch in the player above.
