Gunning for office
Postmedia NewsPublished:ÂSaturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], April 28,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2012
Gabrielle Dee Giffords,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in a baby-blue jacket,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], black slacks, and grey sneakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with her left arm pumping joy and defiance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her right arm limp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her gait measured and steady but slightly off-centre,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and with her smile as bright and unashamed as Venus in the evening sky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slowly and with concentration climbs the short stairway to the stage to the tune of U2's Beautiful Day. Whoops and sobs from hundreds below her hover in the ballroom air.
It has been one year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], three months,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and three weeks since a warped but perfectly legal Arizona Glock-packer typed "Goodbye,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], friends" on Myspace,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bought some ammo at Walmart ("Save Money. It is a fundraising dinner sponsored by an organization called EMILY's List that demands the election of more women to public office,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as long as they are liberal Democrats who strongly oppose any opposition to abortion on demand.
"Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], THAT is what awesome Girl Power looks like!" the group's president announces, looking down at a squadron of skirted senators,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with 'Girl' and 'Power' capitalized in her transcript and in her voice.
Among the 'Girls' in the audience is a 27-year veteran of the police force of Orlando, Florida, named Val Demings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a janitor's daughter who rose from the K-9 patrol to become that city's first female chief.
"Under her bold and aggressive leadership, thousands of guns were removed from Orlando's streets,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and communities became safer," Demings's website boasts. Now she is running for Congress against an anti-abortion Republican who won the seat by a landslide in 2010.
"Nothing could scare me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Demings answers when I ask her if she is afraid that some lunatic could stroll up to her at a campaign rally and Glock her through the head.
Yet even the woman who lifted thousands of firearms from the denizens of Disneyville isn't against guns at all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"The effort is not to take guns out of the hands of responsible people who want to protect their homes and their families," she says.
