NRA publishes magazine headline 'target practice' next to Nancy Pelosi, Gabby Giffords in controversial cover spread

Giffords, in 2011, was shot in the head in a failed assassination attempt in Arizona when she was out meeting with community members
UPDATED FEB 24, 2019

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is facing heavy criticism over their recent magazine spread, with a large headline reading "Target Practice" placed strategically next to the pictures of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Rep. Gabby Giffords, a victim of gun violence.

Giffords, in 2011, was shot in the head in a failed assassination attempt in Arizona when she was out meeting with community members. The former lawmaker survived the attack and went on to found Americans for Responsible Solutions, a super pac that supports gun control initiative. The group, in 2016, was rebranded as "Giffords".
