The former congresswoman has re-dedicated her life to fighting for gun control
Gabrielle Giffords attends 9th Annual Authors Night at The East Hampton Library on Aug. 10, 2013 in East Hampton, New York.
Giffords also wrote an op-ed in the New York Times Wednesday describing her ongoing recovery: “Many may look at me and see mostly what I have lost. I struggle to speak, my eyesight’s not great, my right arm and leg are paralyzed, and I left a job I loved representing southern Arizona in Congress.”
But she goes on to say her experience and the mass shooting of schoolchildren in Newtown in December 2012 inspired her to find her life purpose. “It shocked me, it motivated me, and frankly, it showed me a path,” she says. “After that day, my husband and I pledged to make it our mission to change laws and reduce gun violence in a way that was consistent with our moderate beliefs and our identities as proud gun owners.”
Giffords’ daring stunt will be shown on NBC’s “Today” Show on Wednesday
