Building a Movement to Keep Our Communities Safer: Gabrielle Giffords & Mark Kelly

Two and a half years ago, Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly had their lives changed forever by a madman with an arsenal of deadly weapons. Today, the former congresswoman and the former astronaut discuss what it's like to take on one of the most complicated issues in America—and one of the most difficult political challenges of our time. Giffords and Kelly discuss how the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School drove them to commit themselves, personally and professionally, to reducing gun violence in America—by working toward common sense solutions that respect our Second Amendment rights and traditions of gun ownership. They share what the first few months of their new organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, have yielded, what it feels like to be public figures again, and what the future holds, in terms of keeping our communities safer and building a political movement that reflects the diversity of our great country. This conversation is part of the 2013 Aspen Ideas Festival. Learn more at: http://aspenideas.org Featuring: Gabrielle Giffords, Mark Kelly and Andrea Mitchell
