Naming Navy ship after Gabrielle Giffords is a bad choice

Regarding the Feb. 11 news story “A Navy ship for Giffords”:

A combat ship named after a victim of gun violence? Something is wrong with this picture.

Former Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords is a gracious women of courage, determination and civility. Colleagues in Congress attest to her respect of other people and her ability to compromise. Rather than the Navy naming a ship after her, a more appropriate tribute would be for Congress to pass serious gun control legislation so that fewer families experience the agony of a loved one killed or wounded by a gun.
