53. Her injury may inhibit her ability to articulate verbally

It does not inhibit her ability to communicate what she feels, and she was already one of the most empathetic people I know, well before she was shot. If the gun lobby wants to silence Gabby, they'll have to send another nut case after her, because she will not silenced otherwise. Anyone who thinks differently has no idea who they're dealing with.
