Newtown, connecticut, killed by a weapon that fired six bullets a second. Last week, giffords and kelly went to try to console the families. The first couple that we speak to, dad took out his cell phone and showed us a picture of his daughter and i just about lost it. You know, how do we get to the point where 85 of the children in the world that are killed with guns are killed in the United States . That is a sobering statistic. 85 . So, thats what changed for you. Yes. You told me before, when i said, are you angry . You said no. Its life. Do you still feel that way . No. Do you get angry sometimes . Yes, yes. Complicated. They say it is now time for action, common sense change, led by gun owners, too. You have a gun. Yes, glock. You still have a glock . Yes. Gabby and i are both gun o own owners. We are strong supporters of the second amendment. So, it is the common sense consensus you are going for . We are. And i think most gun owners are in the same camp with us. So, their group is called americans for responsible solutions, and it will become a Political Action committee to spur congress on questions of Mental Health, high capacity gun magazines and background checks on purchases of guns. I bought a gun at walmart recently and i went through a background check. Why cant we just make it more difficult for criminals and the mentally ill to get guns . The nra will say, they can get them illegally. I dont agree with that. The gun lobby even opposes a gun purchaser being checked against the terrorist watch list. I mean, doesnt that seem like a common sense thing to do . But they made these arguments, the only thing that stopped the bad guy is a good guy with a gun. If there had been somebody with a gun there in that parking lot with Jared Loughner there was. There was somebody with a gun, other than Jared Loughner. He says there was a man nearby who had a gun in his pocket. But almost accidentally shot the hero. Nearly shot the man who took down Jared Loughner, by a good guy with a gun. And two years after Jared Loughner opened fire, it is still a kind of miracle that congresswoman giffords survived. A bullet had torn a tunnel through her brain. Yeah, thats it. Thats a thumb. We saw her incredible spirit, her indestructible will and the recovery, moving so fast, doctors were amazed at the pace. Today, she says she is still making gains, but every one is hardfought. Its been a long two years . Oh so slowly. So slowly. Tell me the happiest part of your lives these days. Family. And the hardest part . Every day, i dont like it all. I dont like it all. Im sad. Light, awful. She is trying to say because of her injury, she has trouble seeing on the right side. She only has peripheral vision on her left. But in the room with her, there is no doubt she understands quickly. Which she says makes it more frustrating when she doesnt have the words to answer. Whats the next mountain you want to climb . Its the very quick back and forth that thats a struggle, right . Yes, struggle. Because its still, you think it, you cant say it. I cant. But if anyone can will herself up a mountain, its Gabby Giffords. Today, she has a service dog named nelson to retrieve things, steady her. But she will not give up trying. Goes to therapy every day. Physical therapy, yoga, um speech therapy. Your right toe started moving a little bit recently. Yes, toe. Thats been positive. Youre walking faster. And if i tug you along, you can go even faster. But even if its hard for her to walk. Okay. Lets go. They say she will be walking the halls, taking her case to the capitol, so, if any members of congress decide to do nothing, they have to say it to her. When it can happen to children in a classroom, its time to say enough. Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords and mark kelly. I want to bring in abcs chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl, who bring us up to date on white house action. Where does it stand, jon . Reporter let me first say, the white house welcomes what Gabby Giffords is doing here. They welcome it all. The Vice President is launching this effort to bring together a program on gun violence and i am told now that the National Rifle association will be part of the meetings held this week at the white house with Vice President biden. Thats a big deal, diane. We have never seen the nra at the white house, the obama white house. And how soon could we see something actually take place . Reporter well, they are saying that they will have recommendations from the Vice President within three or four weeks, maybe even earlier. And, diane, they may act, well before Congress Gets around. The president can act by executive order on some things, including what you heard mark kelly talking about, the issue of background checks and streamlining those background checks. Not going as far as he wants to go, but improving the process. All right, jon karl in new york, and thank you so much for bringing us up to date. And now, we turn to aurora, colorado, and that other american town marked by a mass shooting, that time, in a Movie Theater. Today, we learned the stunning story behind these pictures we saw at the time. Law enforcement entering the booby trapped apartment of the alleged gunman, james holmes. Fbi agents have testified today that holmes had homemade napalm inside his apartment. Remotecontrolled triggers hidden in a garbage can outside. The trap was meant to injure Police Officers as holmes fired his guns in the Movie Theater five miles away. And now we turn to other big news today. It is official. 2012 was the hottest year in the United States since weather scientists started keeping records. And hotter, not by a little, but by a landslide. Tonight, abcs dan harris tells us about this new report and the red flags of warning about extreme heat all across the globe. Oh, man. This is the last youll see of your shed. Reporter the pictures coming out of australia tonight are apocalyptic. Flames devouring homes, huge black and brown blossoms of smoke. A lone kangaroo hopping through a charred moonscape. Firefighters contending with the worst possible conditions. These swirling, vicious winds, the soaring temperatures. Incredible winds are making it that much tougher for firefighters on the front lines. Reporter its so hot, the government had to change its forecast maps, adding new shades of purple for temperatures possibly hitting 130 degrees. Scenes like this are becoming more common. Look at this nasa imagery showing the entire planet has gotten hotter in recent decades. Here in america, 2012 was not only the warmest year on record, but also the secondmost extreme, featuring tornadoes, wildfires, a massive drought and, of course, superstorm sandy. The house was there right. Reporter and the water pushed it all the way over here. Many cities had record warmth, including washington, d. C. , where a lack of action on manmade Climate Change is likely to mean 2012 is just a glimpse into an unpleasant future, according to many scientists. So, we shouldnt expect this is the last record . This is by no means the last record. I mean, you really got to think of Climate Change as something that increases our risk for being unlucky. So, we need to prepare up front, as we move into, you know, this warmer, hotter, more extreme world. Reporter so, how do we prepare . Her advice, take stock of where you live and protect your home by doing things like becoming more energy efficient, getting a generator, possibly, buying flood insurance, maybe, and possibly even raising up your water heater if its in the basement. Diane . And i know you are going to be speaking with an American Family going through their house to address just that. Reporter fascinating. Thank you so much, dan. Thats in coming days. And now, new trouble tonight for the plane thats being called the future of air travel. The boeing dreamliner. This was the scene on the runway in boston yesterday. Firefighters boarding an empty dreamliner after a fire. And today, in boston, again, on a dreamliner, 40 gallons of fuel spilling onto the runway. 178 passengers were on board. And now, whats being called a slap in the face for american taxpayers. Is it really possible that the insurance goliath aig may sue the u. S. Government, less than five years after taxpayers saved the Insurance Company from bankruptcy . Abcs david muir is here with the story. Reporter this is really something, diane. In fact, as one economist put it today, if aig sues the government now after that giant taxpayer bailout, it would be the equivalent of a patient suing their doctor for saving their life. Insurance giant aig, bailed out by the american taxpayer, just days ago launching this brand new marketing campaign, with three simple words. Thank you america. Thank you america. Thank you america. Reporter but now, after thanking america, it turns out aig might sue it. How do you say thank you america and then turn around and consider suing america . Thats the fascinating thing. They Just Launched this ad campaign, all about thanking americans for their help, for the bailout and now they are considering suing. Reporter it was a little more than four years ago, the worst economic crash since the depression and american taxpayers came to the rescue. 182 billion for aig. The insurance giant had bet on mortgage securities. Bets that went terribly wrong. Fed chairman ben bernanke later calling the bets unconscionable. Fast forward and now the company just finished paying back american taxpayers. And in those new ads, proud of it. Weve repaid every dollar america lent us. Everything, plus a profit of more than 22 billion for the american people. Reporter but as those ads play on tv, aig is now deciding whether to sue the federal government. The claim . That the terms of the bailout, that taxpayer rescue, actually hurt shareholders. In part, arguing the interest charge on that government rescue money was too high. Tonight, the new york fed telling us, theres no merit to this suit, saying, back then, aigs board of directors had an alternative choice to borrowing from the Federal Reserve and that choice was bankruptcy. Had there not be taxpayer help, had there not been a bailout, what would the shareholders have now anyway . They would have very little, possibly zero. Reporter a 25 billion lawsuit has already been filed by aigs former ceo, hank greenburg. Aig issues a statement tonight, saying under law, they must consider the suit. It is their obligation, in their words, to determine whats in the best interest of the company. I did ask to interview some of those aig employees, saying thank you america, diane, the company today declining our request. I bet that company gets an earful. Thank you so much, david.

A federal law is expected to take affect by the middle of this year, forcing chain restaurants to post the number of calories in the food you order. Some restaurants, as you probably know, have already begun, but we wondered, are they accurate . Abcs Senior National correspondent jim avila went to the lab. Reporter they are supposed to help americas obesity problem. Calorie counts boldly displayed on restaurant menus. Thats kind of important to have that visibility in what youre eating. Reporter but a study by tufts university, sampling food from 42 restaurants, found wide discrepancies. Especially at sitdown restaurants and, surprisingly, most often on the diet side of the menu. These are the foods that people who are trying to manage their weight would gravitate towards and may be getting more calories than they expect. Reporter a justcompleted abc news sampling found that more than half of the lowcal meals we tested had more calories than listed on the menu. We brought a nationally known lab 24 food samples from four sitdown restaurants and one mcdonalds. Surprisingly, the big mac had 30 calories fewer than advertised on the menu. Here, too, it was the sitdown restaurants that had sometimes wildly different calorie counts than advertised. 11 meals had more calories than on the menu and 10 had fewer. And only one was on the money. Some were over by only a few calories, but cheesecake factorys fish and chips packed 420 calories more than the menu count in one sample. Olive gardens low calorie seafood brodetto was over its calorie count by 180. And one sample of the chilis margarita grilled chicken tested at 120 calories more than advertised. It may not sound like a lot, but if someone were to consume 100 calories extra per day for a year, they could gain up to ten pounds. Reporter all the restaurants and their trade association say that most calorie counts are as accurate as possible and tested extensively to make sure. But they concede there are variations. Mostly due to portion size and individual restaurant preparation. The menus warn that actual calories may vary. So, what you see here may be very different than what is actually on the plate. Jim avila, abc news, washington. And coming up here, millions of us watched the big Football Game last night, so, why is everybody today talking about her .
