Former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) and her husband Mark Kelly will embark on a multi-state tour on July 1st to push for expanded background checks on gun purchasers.
Kelly's gun-control group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, announced the "Rights and Responsibilities" Tour on Tuesday. Giffords and Kelly will try to gin up more support for expanded background checks after an amendment sponsored by Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) failed in April.
“I’ve been around guns my whole life, and I know that as an American, my right to own a firearm goes hand in hand with my obligation to be a responsible gun owner and to do my part to make sure guns don’t fall into the hands of criminals or dangerously mentally ill people,” Kelly said in a statement. “Gabby and I are excited to hit the road this summer and meet so many of the great Americans who are standing with us to fight for common-sense solutions to prevent gun violence and protect our rights.”
They will start the tour in Nevada on July 1 st before making stops in Alaska, Maine, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota and Ohio, according to the group.(continued)

Giffords and husband, also known as Charley McCarthy and Edgar Bergen. Collectivists using carnage to advance an agenda.
There's money involved in this. Kelly's getting some kind of pay day or working toward one. The US Congress is a great place to get rich, taking a salary for running a "non-profit" etc.
Who is funding this tour de tards?
Nanny Bloomberg, I’ll wager.
“Tour”? Who’s paying for this crap?
Got a mirror?

Plus the winner does get a lobster dinner, and a visit to Maine, both of which would be worth winning even if you did have to listen to some leftist drivel.
Maybe they should perform background checks when McCain unloads the gun shipment in Syria.
