kopel, have you ever met congresswoman gabby giffords? >> i have not. i sat next to her husband -- >> turn on your microphone, please. >> i'm sorry. no, senator. but i did sit next to and meet her husband, mark giffords, when he and i testified before this committee a couple years ago. >> it's interesting. you didn't mention her name in your oral testimony, but in the written testimony submitted to the committee, you've mentioned her 18 times. >> the giffords organization, yes. >> and the point i want to make is, many of us sitting at this table have town meetings. she had a town meeting on january the 8th, 2011. a gunman came into that meeting and killed six people. including a federal judge and a 9-year-old bystander girl. did damage to her, which she still struggles with to this day. and this gunman, whose background has been described, is -- let me just read it to you, if i might. i'm not going to mention his name. acquaintances say his personality had changed markedly in the years prior to the shooting. a period during which he was abusing alcohol

features a story with the words "target practice" next to a photo of speaker nancy pelosi with gabby giffords in the background. as you recall, congresswoman giffords was shot in the head eight years ago last month. six people were killed that day and 13 people were wounded. before gabby was shot, proud nra member sarah palin had gabby's district on a targeted list showing it to be in the crosshairs of a gun site over her district. the ordinance before you today would rescind the police department's authority to be a member of the nra and to collect tournament fees on behalf of the nra in connection with holding firearms tournaments. i want to thank chief scott and the san francisco police department for supporting this ordinance and for not engaging with the nra for years. we all know that words matter, and i want the nra removed from our police code to avoid any possibility of legitimizing this toxic and dangerous organization. my goal really is to make the nra the pay phone of lobbyists, rarely seen, hardly necessary, and ancient history. i want to thank my fellow members, chair mandelman

to figure out whether i've been here before because actually after the horrible incident with gabby gifford i work with a group out of columbia university which is also great to support. and they asked me to it come here -- i don't know the word, a local journalist were traumatized by it. and met with one of their houses up in the hills with several of them. and they try to do something with the festival that year end i'm not sure whether i did and i can't remember if this is my first run or not. that was a really powerful experience and i know just from that, i get just a little taste of what you went there. i am sorry, you have to be one of the communities hit by this. in one of the communities on the list, alyssa keeps going ridiculously longer. now when somebody says aurora, we are to see which one. and now we have victims of multiple shootings in the parkland we said never again knowing that would be the last one, but that is what they're shooting for and hopefully in the semi- near future will be the truth. that is the goal. not just because you said nice things, i think the review i
