The \u201cPublic Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/mikethompson.house.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/reps-introduce-bipartisan-king-thompson-background-check-bill\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-control-advocates-rally-behind-background-check-bill\" title=\"Gun-Control Advocates Rally Behind Background Check Bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H.R. 1217<\/a>), which was sponsored by U.S. Reps. Mike Thompson (D-CA) and Peter King (R-NY), would mandate universal background checks in all 50 states.  <\/p>\n<p>Former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was wounded in a 2011 shooting attack near Tucson, was on Capitol Hill Wednesday supporting the bill.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stopping violence takes courage,&#8221; she said at a press conference. &#8220;The courage to do what&#8217;s right, the courage of new ideas. &#8230; Now is the time to come together and be responsible. Democrats, Republicans, everyone. We must never stop fighting. Fight, fight, fight. Be bold, be courageous, the nation&#8217;s counting on you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Giffords was joined by her husband Mark Kelly, a former astronaut.  Together the couple founded the pro-gun control organization Americans for Responsible Solutions.  <\/p>\n<p>The obvious question is will this bill clear both the House and Senate?  <\/p>\n<p>The previous UBC bill, known as the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-politics\/wp\/2013\/04\/17\/manchin-toomey-gun-amendment-fails\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-control-advocates-rally-behind-background-check-bill\" title=\"Gun-Control Advocates Rally Behind Background Check Bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Manchin-Toomey amendment<\/a>, failed to clear the Senate, falling six votes shy of the 60 needed to override a GOP led filibuster in April of 2013.  <\/p>\n<p>Given that the political landscape has shifted following the 2014 midterms and the GOP now has a majority in both the House and Senate, it\u2019s arguably even more unlikely that it will.  Nevertheless, the sponsors of the bill are optimistic.  <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;If this thing passes out of the House, it will fly out of the Senate,\u201d Thompson told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-politics\/wp\/2015\/03\/04\/the-latest-gabby-giffords-push-for-modest-gun-controls-is-new-the-outlook-isnt\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-control-advocates-rally-behind-background-check-bill\" title=\"Gun-Control Advocates Rally Behind Background Check Bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Rep.
