Of course, you all know that Jim Brady was Ronald Reagan&#8217;s press secretary when he was shot along side the president back in 1981 when John Hinckley, Jr. thought that would be the best way to get the attention of a girl. Mr. Brady&#8217;s wife, Sarah, seized upon the shooting as an opportunity to make money and started the Brady Foundation to encourage gun control with Jim Brady as the face of her campaign. <\/p>\n<p>Well, with her husband&#8217;s body barely room temperature, Sarah writes an op-ed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2014\/02\/24\/opinion\/brady-law-guns\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> begging for more gun control;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Take Zina Daniel, a victim of domestic violence who procured a restraining order against her estranged husband, making him unable to pass a background check. He bought a semiautomatic handgun from a private seller online, where he didn&#8217;t need a background check. He used that gun to kill Zina and two others and wound four more at a nail salon.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, Brady is saying that people who intend to use their new guns for illicit reasons will obey the law, if only there was a law. Zina Daniel&#8217;s estranged husband wouldn&#8217;t have found another way to get a gun if he couldn&#8217;t buy it off the internet according to Brady. The truth is that less than one percent of guns used in crimes were bought at gun shows or from legitimate sellers. I&#8217;ve bought guns from internet dealers and at gun shows and I&#8217;ve had to complete the requisite background checks with law enforcement before I took possession of the firearm.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that surprises me is that Brady didn&#8217;t figure out a way to blame her husband&#8217;s death on gun owners somehow.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 2013, after the horrific tragedy of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, eight states passed meaningful gun regulations. These laws could save lives and prevent injuries. Let&#8217;s keep moving forward. Let&#8217;s finish the job, expand Brady background checks and help keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>How would expanded background checks have prevented the Newtown shooting, Sarah? The shooter killed his mother and took her guns. In fact, it was the mandatory waiting period law that prevented him from buying his own gun.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to David for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, 73-year-old Jim Brady died.
