In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Gabby Giffords ’93 reflects on the effects of gun violence and her gun control advocacy work. “We don’t talk enough about the trauma inflicted by gun violence . . . I’ve been impressed beyond measure by the courage, resilience, and passion of the survivors I’ve had the privilege of working with,” Giffords said.
Giffords also believes that gun control is possible, especially with an increased demand for legislative action. “Like my own recovery journey, progress doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen without setbacks,” she said. “But I truly believe it’s within our reach.”
