Gabrielle Giffords Dept: WASHINGTON The former U.S. congresswoman who was shot in the head in a 2011 mass shooting made a dramatic appeal to Congress on Wednesday for tougher gun control legislation, saying, too many children are dying, according to The Chronicle Herald. Be bold, be courageous, Americans are counting on you, Giffords said and speaking is difficult. But I need to say something important, surprise witness Gabrielle Giffords said carefully. It was Congress s first gun control hearing since the fatal shooting of 20 young students in Connecticut in December pushed the long-sensitive issue to the top of President Barack Obama s agenda for his second term.
