Why am I not surprised....
The dems are going to wheel in Giffords at just the right strategic moment. Perhaps right before a vote on some gun-control measure. Never let a crisis go to waste, as the next Chicago mayor is fond of saying.
It will be interesting to hear what Representative Giffords has to say about this issue, and gun control in general, when she completes rehab. IIRC, she is a gun owner and a gun-rights supporter.
