I just don't understand why they don't just go ahead and make it illegal to shoot someone who does not need shooting.

Glad to see her doing well, but I have to say, her cry of 'DO SOMETHING!!!!!!" is part of the problem. How about "DO SOMETHING THAT CAN WORK!!!!!!!". Just doing things isnt a solution.

Or is too soon?

I think that prior to anyone speaking in favor of any type of gun control, they should go through a complete evaluation to insure that they are in full control of their mind.
In the case of Gabrielle, can we be sure that being shot did not do some serious damage to her brain that causes her to make bad judgement calls?

would the left, allow someone on the right to be taken seriously after being shot in the brain? I doubt it.
