TUCSON, Ariz. -- Former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is on the latest cover of TIME magazine.

She is pictured with Vice President Joe Biden and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. They are dubbed ``The Gunfighters'' in the magazine's story about the growing call for gun regulation.

Giffords was severely injured in a January 2011 shooting rampage as she met with constituents outside a Tucson supermarket.

Six people were killed in the shooting with Giffords and 12 others wounded.

Giffords resigned from Congress last year.

She and her husband Mark Kelly have formed a political action committee to prevent gun violence and change laws to require comprehensive background checks for all firearms sales, among other things.

    I don't see any "normal citizens" get as much media coverage as Gabby gets! How many of you can name the Judge that was killed that day?

    The CT shooting was indeed a travesty, but the Left acts as they are concerned for the children. However they have no problem with hundreds of thousands being murdered each year through abortion. What a bunch of sad dull tools.

    noted that while firearms have resulted in more than 4 million deaths in the U.S. between 1973 and 2012, there were only three National Institutes of Health research awards made to study gun violence over that time. In contrast, since 1973 the NIH made 486 research awards to scientists looking at cholera, diphtheria, polio and rabies, which altogether have accounted for just over 2,000 American deaths over nearly four decades."

    Research result to date, limited as they are, do not flatter the gun nuts' obsessions.
