Two years after being severely wounded by a gunman who killed six people outside a Tucson, Ariz., grocery store, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords appears ready to add her name and political luster to a push for stricter nationwide gun control.
Along with her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, Ms. Giffords on Tuesday is expected to unveil a public outreach effort spurred by last month's killing of 20 children and six adults in a Connecticut elementary school, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Kelly has been telling associates and other people that the couple, after publicly expressing general support for tougher gun laws, is now ready to consider launching fundraising efforts and also to call for specific restrictions on high-capacity weapons.
