Two years to the day after a gunman killed six and wounded 12 in a supermarket parking lot, the Arizona congresswoman injured in the horrible attack is making new headlines.

Former Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot in the head and nearly killed on January 8th, 2011, but she boldly refused to become a victim and relearned how to walk and speak!

Now the retired lawmaker and her astronaut husband chat with Diane Sawyer in a follow-up interview to discuss the two-year anniversary and their plans for the future.

Ch-ch-check out ABC's teaser (above) where Gabby and hubby Mark Kelly discuss their new initiatives on gun reform, an especially critical topic in the wake of the Sand Hook shootings.

We're sooo proud of the way Gabby rebounded from this awful tragedy and we can't wait to hear what she has to say tomorrow!

Once again, newsman Piers Morgan offers up as much common sense on gun control as his audiences care to feast on.

Not only is the British journalist unafraid of the circulating petition gun lobbyists are backing to evict him from these United States, but the anchor is considering departing on his own terms.

In summary of a long and thoughtful letter to an English newspaper, he wrote:

Oh, Piers! You can always crash on our couch!

Yet another online petition surfaced to keep CNN host Piers Morgan out of a particular country — this time the Brits say he isn't welcome back!

As raw emotion from the Sandy Hook aftermath evolves into a critical reexamination of our laws and culture, individuals and groups are already pointing fingers!

The NRA, for instance, holds the media, Hollywood, and video game companies partially responsible for the horrific shootings. Their solution? Circulate more guns!

Uncool. Uncool and absolutely shameless.

Noah Pozner is one of many Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who was laid to rest this week, but at least one despicable individual doesn't think his family has suffered enough!

A fraudulent website was set up in the boy's name earlier this week, in an attempt to steal money from the heartbroken masses world-wide who thought they could assist the victim's grieving family.

Noah's uncle, Alex Haller, notified the FBI as soon as he stumbled upon the scam website directing donations to an unknown address.

Alex admitted this faux charitable website is added pain
