 Other proposals from Kelly and Giffords include limiting the sale of high capacity magazines , limiting the sale of assault weapons , and stopping gun trafficking . Mark Kelly was denied the sale of an AR @-@ 15 rifle . The shop owner denied Mr. Kelly the purchase stating his disagreement with Mr. Kelly 's previous statements on gun laws . Mr. Kelly had stated that he was purchasing in order to turn the weapon in to the police department . In April 2013 , Kelly was photographed at his mother @-@ in @-@ law 's house in Arizona , with Giffords watching and cheering him on while he used a Glock 9 millimeter for target practice . The gun belongs to Giffords--she owned it prior to the 2011 attempt on her life . It is the same type of gun that was used in the January 2011 shooting .
