The public testimony of former Representative Gabby Giffords is scrutinized for its scripted nature and emotional delivery during the national gun control debate. The argument is made that focusing on gun legislation ignores the underlying issues of gang violence and the failed war on drugs. Legalizing drugs is proposed as a more effective method for reducing neighborhood violence and lowering high recidivism rates in the prison system.
