We heard the news reports of the shoots fired in Arizona. We knew that she was critical with so much to overcome. We heard that her husband was an astronaut. What we didn't hear was the day to day struggles of two people who were deeply in love and "in for the long haul, no matter what. " Truly, real life love stories are so much better than the imagined ones.

This is a book sure to cause controversy. After Gabrielle Giffords' recovery from senseless gun violence, she and her husband, both gun owners, began looking for ways to promote responsible gun ownership. One of the main culprits they found is the NRA, which began as a way to promote gun safety, but has become a strong voice in promoting unchecked gun ownership. As a reader who supports their point of view, of course I agree with them. But there’s really nothing new, their book provides us with facts we already knew. Fewer and few people are gun owners, but those who are purchasing more. The NRA does nothing other than saying more guns will solve the problem to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them. And yes, I know there will be negative responses to this review and I hope people critical of Gifford’s stance with use accurate information when expressing their opinion. I hope they will have actually read the book and be able to illustrate with facts why the information presented in this book is inaccurate.… (mere)
