How many more of these sad stories must we hear before those we hired to do protect us do their jobs and pass needed legislation to stop gun violence against women. I received this from Gabby Giffords and support her efforts on this issue. Christin was a 35-year old mother of two from Washington who appealed to the courts for protection against her ex-partner who had already been convicted of stalking in a previous relationship. Five days later, she was found dead in her home - a murder-suicide made possible because of lax laws that enable deadly violence against women trying to escape dangerous relationships. Tragically, her story is far too common. In the United States, 76% of female homicide victims are stalked before their death, and the vast majority of their assailants use a gun to carry out the crime. It’s time for Congress to protect women from gun violence.
