Former Congresswoman and survivor of gun violence Gabby Giffords offered a simple message to those in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District hoping to get meaningful gun laws passed on the federal level:

“Move ahead and don’t look back,” Giffords told an audience of about 100 gathered at a Gun Prevention Town Hall with Giffords and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet.

Trail Winds Recreation Center in Thornton hosted the event, which drew anti-gun advocates and those who hoped to unseat Republican Gabe Evans from the 8th Congressional District seat, which he won by a slim margin in November.
