and I was not aware of the formation of the Veterans For Responsible Solutions group until now.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In advance of Veteran’s Day, Americans for Responsible Solutions – founded by former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and retired combat veteran and astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly – announced the formation of Veterans for Responsible Solutions, a national constituency of retired flag officers and senior officers, and former enlisted service members of the U.S. Armed Forces. The group – which begins with 122 former service members from all branches and ranks – will support responsible gun ownership policies and measures to reduce gun violence. Interested veterans can join online: http://action.americansforresponsiblesolutions.org/page/s/veterans-for-responsible-solutions

Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly are two of America's finest, and we are indeed fortunate that they are leading the charge against the obscene influence of the NRA and its extreme-right Second Amendment absolutists (AKA Gun Freaks).
