I don't hate the woman, I just don't buy the current push by Democrats to use her and her being shot as a political token in order to push gun control. Let's be honest here, she was shot with a handgun and they're using her as a physical example of how big bad evil rifles kill women and children. It's pathetic to see her used as a pawn.
Well, those comments were about her personally. They called he 'retard', 'braindead', 'bumbling idiot', 'someone trying to play the retard card' etc, etc..... It was ugly.
She's not speaking as a victim, but as the head of a super pac with a political agenda out to go up against the NRA.
If that is not more biased then I don't know what is.
I think a bullet through the brain is justification for a little bias, and gives one a good perspective in re having a total stranger target you in a crowd. When the NRA has a lobbyist who has also had a bullet through his/her brain, then and only then might they be considered equal. NRA is lobbying for gun manufacturers and doing it for MONEY. As a matter of fact, has LaPierre ever had to use a gun to save his life from someone trying to shoot and kill him?
The big lobbies, financial investment, real estate, energy are the lobbies we should be worried about, not the minor not-for-profits.
Lobbyists are not the issue right now, parading out victims to force a vote driven purely by emotional reasons, that is the issue. We will always have lobbyists, just about anyone visiting their congressman is a lobbyist of sorts.

I am disgusted by the Democrats use of children and Gabby Giffords in this ridiculous attempt to destroy the 2nd Amendment, in defiance of ALL evidence that the gun bans and more gun control laws only lead to MORE illegal guns in the hands of criminals and a defenseless public.
Sure, everyone feels bad that Gabby got shot in the head by a lunatic. But I'm sorry, and I can be a very empathetic person, but I had couldn't hold back a giggle as I watched the poor lady struggle to read the words her therapist wrote for her. It almost seemed like an SNL skit.

You don't think she might have a useful POV about gun control at all?
Isn't it truly amazing how gun-fondlers can't see the most obvious things in the world? It's like a willful blind spot. Makes me wonder if they're any good at the target range.
