Re: Brady died today
Even the 'conservative' radio station here aired a brief 'story' on him that mentioned how he "probably saved thousands of lives" due to pushing for stronger 'gun control'.
A reporter with more integrity would have commented that his death should be applauded, as his activities "probably caused thousands of deaths" due to pushing for stronger 'gun control'; that, since every credible objective study (even by 'liberal' criminologists like Don Kates) has come to the clear conclusion that those states where 'Brady had his way' have consistently had more innocent lives lost due to criminals with firearms than those states which ignored Brady and his group.
It is one thing that our news media lacks the courage to 'praise' the pro-gun, anti-gun-control groups, as explaining to the sheeple why that actually makes sense uses up too many sound-bytes, but going to the point of 'praising' empty-suits like Brady, no matter how sad and compelling their 'story' is, is journalistic incompetence and hypocrisy at its best.
May Brady rot in the hot-place, for all of the innocent lives he so callously sacrificed upon the altar of his own simple-minded ego, and desire to fund his 'warm-fuzzy' gun-grabbers. The only difference between him and Hitler is 'quantity' and 'intent' - all that shows is that Brady was less competent, and not smart enough to develop an 'agenda'...

I'm not sure Brady was much more than a Chatty Cathy to his wife, who was pulling the string....

Re: Brady died today
I think we should put politics aside for a few days and respectively let Jim Brady RIP. Above all this man was someone's loved one, besides being an anti-gun advocate.

Re: Brady died today
He was, it seems, pretty messed up mentally from being shot, with difficulty controlling emotions and some cognitive difficulties, as well as difficulty with speech. I think it was his wife who pulled the strings after that. After seeing him in a couple interviews, I never had any animosity toward him. His wife is a different story . . .

Re: Brady died today
Mr. Brady will rest in peace no matter what we say or don't say. I think he was an honorable man who sacrificed a great deal while in the service of his country.
I felt terrible and great sadness not only for the injury the poor man suffered, but even more that he was continually exploited and used as a side show act by his wife the rest of his life.

Re: Brady died today
I m sorry for the mileage his wife got out of his injury, but Jim Brady was a fine American, by all accounts an excellent press secretary, and the victim of an armed lunatic who was able to easily buy a handgun. Thank God it was a .22 and not a .38, or the president likely would have died.
I can't blame someone nearly murdered by a mentally ill shooter for being motivated to try to spare others from the tragedy.
This is a tough crowd. Wonder what Jesus would say about this man.

Still, I have no tolerance for those who would facilitate a police-state, even if in benevolent ignorance. Real lives are lost every time we try that experiment, with 'gun control' as a prime example.

The man was gravely injured in the service of his country. I will not judge him. May he rest in peace.

In honor of his death I renewed my NRA membership for another 3yrs today!!!

I'll flush twice at a private memorial service, just to render the appropriate honor.

Re: Brady died today
Too bad all the innocents gravely injured, raped, or killed, just trying to go about their ordinary business, due to the crime increase his 'gun control' brought about didn't get the same respect.junkbug wrote:The man was gravely injured in the service of his country.

I do judge those who serve our country, as they are essentially my employees; tens of thousands have died, and hundreds of thousands were injured, in the service of our country, who didn't violate their Oath of Office and our Constitution by trying to cram gun control down our throats. THOSE ones I highly respect.

Re: Brady died today
Mmm. How to put this.
I agree with the Doc.
Some of you are confusing 'mean' with truthful and facing the realities of what went in, on and around the circumstances of Brady being accidently shot. It was an accident that he was shot - the bullet was meant for the President.
Adolph Hitler was 'shot' in the service of his country but my only thought there is that it didn't happen nearly soon enough. Hitler and Brady were of the same cloth, just not the same magnitude.
That Brady was shot hardly makes him a good man. A person's stand on gun control serves as an excellent barometer of how he stands on personal freedom and responsibility.
Some of you guys need to decide just who your friends really are.

IMO the wrong Brady stopped breathing.
AFAIK Jim Brady was not anti gun. But, after getting his frontal lobes scrambled, he WAS a programmable prop for his anti-freedom "wife".
IIRC Reagan always treated Jim with dignity post shooting. Not so much respect was shown to his post-shooting handler. (She who must not be named...)

Re: Brady died today
The question is......where did he stand on gun control BEFORE the shooting? As far as I'm concerned, he was a vegetable afterwards, leaning towards a stalk of celery, maybe broccoli, but certainly no where advanced as a tomato. He was like a small child after the shooting, doing what he was told to do.
I agree with Doc on the issue but maybe we should pass judgement over to Brady's old lady, the one who, when she passes over the the Great Divide will be a cause for celebration.--------6

Re: Brady died today
Old Ironsights and Sixgun have put it well. He was likely more of a tool (and fool) than instigator, although I still can't exactly heap the praise on him that the 'news' media expects; his wife is likely the more evil one, though.

Sounds more 'political' than medically-legitimate, even if it was a contributing factor to his decline and/or death.

About 2 years ago this guy in Philly was rearrested after serving something like 20 years for attempted murder of a Philly cop. The bad guy was out of jail for 30 years or so when the cop he shot back in 1962 died. The coroner said the cop died as a direct result of the shooting 50 years earlier.
The bad guy was in his seventies and was eventually released after about a month in jail.------6
