Gabby Giffords: Skydive is my way of saying 'I'm alive'

Gabrielle Giffords couldn’t help but see beauty as she took to the skies to mark the third anniversary of the mass shooting that left a bullet in her head and six people dead.

“Oh, wonderful sky. Gorgeous mountain. Blue skies. I like a lot,” she told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie on Thursday in an exclusive interview about her skydiving adventure. “A lot of fun. Peaceful, so peaceful.”

Gabby Giffords: 'I'm Still Fighting To Make The World A Safer Place'

| By ASTRID GALVAN


Posted: 09/23/2014 7:16 pm EDT Updated: 27 minutes ago TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Gabby Giffords is busy.
She's busy with therapy — many types of therapy, she says with a smile — as well as with yoga, running a national group that campaigns for tougher gun laws and advocating for women's safety.
More than three years after she was shot in the head during an attack at a grocery store in Tucson that left six people dead and 13 wounded, Giffords, still partially paralyzed and with difficulty speaking, is not keeping quiet.

"I'm still fighting to make the world a safer place, and you can too," Giffords said Tuesday at the YWCA of Tucson's Women's Leadership Conference, where she received an award for being a "change maker."
Giffords, who was introduced by her mother, Gloria Giffords, and by husband, Mark Kelly, gave a brief speech imploring women to act on behalf of others.
"Be passionate. Be courageous. Be your best," Gabby Giffords said.
The former congresswoman from Tucson has been a staunch advocate for tougher gun laws since the mass shooting in December 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 20 children and six adults dead.
Giffords and Kelly, a former NASA space shuttle commander, founded Americans for Responsible Solutions, which advocates for stricter gun laws such as universal background checks for gun buyers.
At the luncheon on Tuesday, the more than 400 women in attendance gave Giffords a standing ovation and a roar of an applause as she slowly walked up the stage with her husband. more at link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/23/gabby-giffords-gun-laws_n_5870984.html?utm_hp_ref=politics

Most of the other threads on her are locked so I picked this one..

CBS News March 23, 2016, 5:47 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Jared Lee Loughner, the man who carried out the mass shooting in Tucson in 2011, is suing former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords for emotional and psychological distress, CBS affiliate KOLD reported.Loughner is serving seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, for the Jan. 8, 2011 shooting that killed six people and wounded 13, including Giffords.
His lawsuit, which seeks $25 million in damages, was filed in the U.S. District Court of Arizona on Friday, March 18.

KOLD reported Loughner's two-page court filing claims he was "framed" and was "handpicked illegally to be a sleeper assassin." He says that "the govt. put a chip in my head to control my mind."
The rambling complaint alleges "Gabby Giffords never got shot, it was all an act, Giffords watches Ronald Reagan movies and pretened (sic) she was hit." Loughner refers to "the Illuminati," which he claims Giffords is a member of, and says he is being subjected to "microwave testing" and waterboarding "on defendant's direct orders." more at link: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/tucson-...elle-giffords-for-25-million/?linkId=22631075

On Wednesday night, Giffords was introduced by her husband, veteran and astronaut Mark Kelly. She spoke to Americans at the Democratic National Convention giving her full support to our Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton with whom Giffords has stood beside as they both champion for sensible gun reform.
