Social media has become the first place many of us hear about breaking news. This is perhaps most evident when someone famous dies. Word spreads fast and memories and reminiscences are shared. Here are twenty notables who were remembered on Twitter after their passing in 2014.

1. “Unbroken” World War II hero and Olympian Louis Zamperini

2. Former White House Press Secretary James Brady

What I'd like to know: Who inherits James Brady's machine gun collection? Yup, good old Jim Brady liked to collect machine guns and they were all legally registered and had $200 tax stamps per the 1934 National Firearms Act. Where are those guns now? These are transferable guns and are worth tens of thousands of dollars. I don't see Sarah Brady turning them in to the ATF for free if money could be made by selling them.

Which may be why he was so in favor of gun control.. If you can't get them, more for his collection.

But I think Sarah was using him anyway.

You bet Sarah Brady used her husband as a prop for gun control. She was (and is) a despicable human being. She is one evil woman. I believe there is a special spot in Hell reserved for her.
