Giffords to lawmakers: 'Have some courage'
Former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot at a 2011 constituent meeting in Tucson, on Thursday ripped members of Congress who aren’t holding town hall meetings, calling on them to “have some courage.”
“To the politicians who have abandoned their civic obligations, I say this: Have some courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls,” she said.
The Arizona Democrat’s statement refers to a letter Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, sent to his constituents, invoking the Giffords shooting as a reason not to hold a public town hall.
Giffords, who survived a gunshot wound to the head, said town hall and constituent meetings were a “hallmark” of her tenure in Congress and that listening to her constituents was “the most basic and core tenant” of her job.

Of course we all know if Gohmert were shot in the head it wouldn't do any damage.
