Protester shows up at Gabby Giffords’ event with an AR-15 [View all]


Two years after being shot in the head, former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona is calling on New Hampshire’s political leaders to have courage in the fight to expand background checks on gun purchases, the AP reports.

Giffords survived an assassination attempt that left six dead, and this classy protester showed up with an AR-15.

This picture was tweeted by Steve Peoples from the Associated Press, showing the protester napping outside of the event.

Gun groups and activists seem to be inadvertently fighting for gun safety laws. In North Dakota today, a man fell asleep with his gun and shot himself in the midsection.
