Giffords is an American advocacy and research organization focused on preventing gun violence. The organization draws its name from that of its co-founder, Gabby Giffords, a former Democratic member of the U. S. House of Representatives. Rep. Giffords was shot along with 18 others at a constituent meeting in Tucson in 2011; the organization has three parts: a 501 lobbying arm, a 501 research arm, a super PAC. It was known in a different configuration as Americans for Responsible Solutions. Ms. Giffords has written that when she and her husband launched the organization, they "wanted to prove that it's possible to stand up for the Second Amendment while standing up for stronger gun laws that keep us safe." The mission of the organization is to shift American gun culture through information and challenge the injustice of special interests risking individual safety all while changing U. S. policies to support safer gun laws. The organization known as Giffords began as a nonprofit and super PAC Americans for Responsible Solutions which Giffords launched with her husband, retired astronaut and U.

S. Navy aviator Mark Kelly in 2013 shortly after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. In its first electoral cycle, Kelly said the organization aimed to devote as much money to support pro-gun control candidates as the NRA had spent in the 2012 election. In 2016 ARS merged with the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, adding legal expertise and state-level research on gun laws to its work. In 2017 the group changed its name from Americans for Responsible Solutions to Giffords. Giffords works on a range of issues to curb gun violence including requiring criminal background checks for gun purchases, reducing gun trafficking, conducting gun violence research and regulating semi-automatic assault weapons. Giffords has played a role in passing more than 200 new gun laws in 45 states and Washington, D. C. Through the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the organization releases an annual scorecard to consider the "relative strength or weakness" of gun laws in each state as well as the rate of gun deaths.

The Giffords Law Center files amicus curiae briefs and takes other legal action to protect and strengthen gun regulations. Giffords supports candidates with gun control in their platforms through its super PAC; the PAC spent $8 million in the 2014 election cycle on independent expenditures for and against 20 candidates. The largest share of the group's spending was in the race for the House seat held by Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona's second district; the group supported the incumbent and Giffords's former aide Ron Barber against Republican Martha McSally. McSally narrowly won the seat. Overall during the 2014 election cycle, the PAC devoted $4.9 million to oppose Republican candidates, $2.4 million in support of Democratic candidates and $860,000 in support of Republican candidates. In 2016, Giffords spent more than $2 million aggressively supporting New Hampshire Democrat Maggie Hassan in her bid to unseat Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte who had voted against expanding background checks for gun purchases.

Hassan won the seat. The PAC endorsed Republicans including two senate candidates, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Mark Kirk of Illinois. Giffords and Kelly wrote that Toomey and Kirk "broke from the gun lobby" to support a bill to close the so-called gun-show loophole, they supported the Democratic candidate in two Senate races as well as a handful of House contests. Overall, Giffords spent $2.7 million on political races in 2016. Giffords supported two gubernatorial candidates in 2017. Ralph Northam in Virginia and Phil Murphy in New Jersey, both Democrats, won their races. In 2018, the PAC continued to endorse and support candidates on both sides of the aisle, including three Republican candidates they identified by focusing on legislation that broke with Republican orthodoxy on guns laws; as of June 2018, the group had raised nearly $13 million and had donated more than $177,000 directly to federal candidates. As part of its 2018 campaign work, Giffords worked with VoteVets to rally support for seven congressional candidates who support stronger gun laws.

All seven are Democrats. The group dedicated millions to unseat four NRA-backed incumbent House members. Commentators and editorial pages noted that work by Giffords and other gun violence prevention organizations had been a powerful element in the 2018 election cycle; the Washington Post editorial board cited the work of Giffords and wrote that the election marked a "shift in the politics of gun control. NPR reported. According to the AP VoteCast election day survey, 61 % of voters said. In addition to endorsing and supporting state and federal candidates and lobbying for stronger gun laws and Kelly have spoken out about the need to intensify our response to outbursts of gun violence. Following the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, Ms. Giffords issued a statement that she was praying for her former colleagues in Congress to "find the courage it will take to make progress on the challenging issues of gun violence." In a press conference on the steps of the U. S. Congress, Kelly echoed the call for more action, saying, "All we're hearing is thoughts and prayers...

Your thoughts and prayers aren't going to stop the next shooting."The group has participated in a range of state and national advocacy campaigns and events. In March 2018, when survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida organized the March for Our Lives, Giffords helped bring more than 200 people from Parkland to participate.
