Gabby Giffords — the former Arizona congresswoman nearly killed in a 2011 shooting — is telling the Democratic National Convention that “speaking is difficult for me. But come January, I want to say these two words: Madam President.”

Joining Giffords on the convention stage is her husband, Mark Kelly, as they to talk about the need to challenge the gun lobby and place new restrictions on firearms.

Giffords calls Hillary Clinton — the Democratic nominee for president — “tough” and “courageous,” and Giffords says Clinton, as president, will “stand up to the gun lobby.”
