Nice try, but some of us do have thoughts that aren't initiated by seeing a hashtag or hearing something on the radio or TV...
Gabby represented my district when I lived in AZ, and was a Mediocre representative who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I have all the respect for what she and her family have gone thru in her recovery, but absolutely no respect for how her husband is now allowing her to be used as a prop for the gun control crowd, and possibly further his own political aspirations.
What the locals in Nigeria did is no different than ranchers taking on the drug smugglers in AZ, and something that Giffords was opposed to even before the shooting that injured her.

Now she's fully in the camp of those who would just as soon take away a rancher's need for an AR-15 to defend themselves from smugglers with full-automatic weapons. She'd rather have the Border Patrol respond (which doesn't happen...).
If Nigeria had the same gun control laws that liberals here would like to see imposed on us, those local villagers would have never been able to take on Boko Harem in the way they did.
Thank God they were able to defend themselves, because when minutes and seconds count, the Nigerian Army is only days away.
