As a dem she is gonna go holier than thou on gun control though, wouldnt surprise me to see some states require a psych eval before you can purchase a gun.

I agree with most of this, but she may not go for the gun control thing. From what I understand she has been about as pro-gun as a Democrat is going to get. I figure its about 30/70 odds Giffords introduces gun control legislation named after Christina Green. I would put better odds, maybe 60/40, that if Giffords has most of her faculties after she recovers she will be running against Kyl for his Senate seat in 2012.
