The BBC:

US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, shot in the head in an Arizona attack, is walking and stringing sentences together, doctors in Texas say.

Ms Giffords’ condition was said to be improving in “leaps and bounds”.

Doctors also said her husband and medics had told her about the shooting that wounded 13 and killed six people.

Doctors said it was too early to say whether she would be able to attend the launch of the Space Shuttle mission to be commanded by her husband in April.

That is great news for her. Unfortunately there are
others who were shot that did not fare as well. We need
to remember those people and try to change the gun laws
so that not only mentally deranged people cannot obtain
weapons but the type the magazines that were made
available to him. I know that is only wishful thinking
because as long as we live by the sword we shall perish
by it. The owners of this country the NRA with their
cowboy deranged mentality will have it no other way.

It is always very sad to see a nice person damaged by our deranged society. It seems to me that she was the kind of person who was wanting to fix it, but good people are often disadvantaged here as usual.
