[mountainpass]

These bastards are scary. The Lautenberg Amendment disarms every person convicted of Domestic Violence, but they want More Action.

Tell Congress: Protect Women from Gun Violence

Read and co-sign Gabby's letter to the Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee urging them to hold a hearing on preventing gun violence against women - the first step to passing legislation.

Dear Chairman Leahy, Ranking Member Grassley and Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee:

Congressional action has meant the difference between life and death for many women. The Violence Against Women Act protects millions of Americans every year. The Lautenberg Amendment alone has prevented more than 250,000 domestic abusers from purchasing a gun from a licensed gun dealer. But many of those who perpetrate violence against women are still allowed easy access to firearms. And the violence continues.

Women are more than three-and-a-half times as likely to be killed by an intimate partner as men.
A gun in a household with a history of domestic violence increases the risk that a woman will be killed there by 20 times, compared to households without guns.
More than 1,000,000 women are stalked annually, and more than half are stalked by an intimate partner — with stalkers using guns to harm or threaten their victims in 1 out of 5 of those cases.
More action is needed – and soon. Women's lives are at stake. We know more about the dangerous connection between domestic abuse and guns than we ever have. Let’s leave no stone unturned when it comes to protecting women and their families.

On behalf of more than 500,000 members of Americans for Responsible Solutions, I strongly urge you to hold a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss ways to prevent gun violence against women.

Sincerely,

Gabby Giffords

Dear Ms. Giffords,
You of all people must know how necessary armed defense is, especially for a woman. Should merely women in politics be allowed to defend themselves with a firearm? WOuld not taking the guns out of the "homes of domestic abuse" ALSO contribute to a womans INABILITY to defend themselves against a much larger male person intent on doing them harm? One cannot help but notice you have 24hr/365 armed security.

Dear Gabby,

You are just flat out crazy in the head.

You want to know how to prevent gun violence against women?
Get more women carrying a gun!

Nothing says "go away" like a 38 special pointed at a guys balls.
