Gifford's "Rights and Responsibilities" Seven State Tour
Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Kelly were in Cincinnati yesterday during the Northside's Fourth Of July Parade. They are in the midst of a seven state tour promoting (what seems to be) "universal backgound checks". They started out in Nevada and today will bring them to New Hampshire.
This tour was heavily reported by Cincinnati media.

"Giffords and her husband are both gun owners. They were introduced by a lifetime member of the NRA. They say they're not anti-gun, just anti-gun violence and argue background checks are needed for all gun purchases."
If this sounds a bit familiar, just recently there was the MAIG 25 state tour, which included Ohio as one of the 10 states in which Bloomberg spoke at. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=719941
Now it gets more interesting. In between the MAIG tour and the Giffords tour, there was a poll done which showed that 76% of Ohioans supported expanded background checks. I saw this on WDTN channel 2 out of Dayton Ohio.

"The poll taken June 18-23 surveyed 941 voters, for a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.2 percentage points."
I would like to know what area or areas were the 941 people surveyed from? Cleveland? Columbus? As surely one major city is not representative of the entire state. It said that the poll was released by Quinnipiac University which is located in Hamden Connecticut. (Which is 40 minutes from Newtown CT from what it is worth).
To me this looks like Ohio is really being targeted (pardon the pun) by the anti-gunners. So far the Bloomberg circus comes to Ohio, then there was (in my own opinion) a questionable poll about expanded background checks and now the Giffords tour.
But it is not just Ohio, New Hampshire was one of the states that Bloomberg was said to have spoke at on the 10 state MAIG list and now NH is on the Giffords 7 state tour list as well.
To summarize, not only is there the Bloomberg Circus but there is the Giffords tour and possibly some questionable polls being bandied about as well. Be aware that your state might be targeted as well.
Education is the key, pamphlets and and posters can be effective tools. People must be aware what expanded or universal background checks could really mean. While nice sounding terms like "universal background checks" and "expanded background checks" sound safe, sane,smart and cozy ...Such wording could mean that even lending your spouse your firearm, or letting your son or daughter shoot could someday become a crime.
I don't think that Ohio poll and the Giffords tour were mentioned here on THR. We need to be aware of what is going on.
