No way. Bullets aren’t cheap these days.

Spent ones are .... just go pull it out of the backstop.

Brady will not be happy until every person in the US is in immediate danger of being in the same condition he is in.

Where do you buy your guns that you don’t have to fill out that long form with LOTS of questions?

From a private individual who doesn't sell firearms for a living.

Aside from that, it's all BS.

I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't put the NRA on record that it did not represent the vast majority of Americans.

Right. That's why there are 4 million or so NRA members, and what, like 10 percent of that who belong to gun control organizations?

And since then, Jim and I have mad it our life's work to put the gun lobby out of business - and pass and protect sensible gun laws.

What a waste. You could have spent your life in so many other productive ways. You chose to squander yours trying to deprive me of my rights.

We've made real progress

Again, right. There have never been more gun friendly laws, and more on the way all the time. This is a real Baghdad Bob moment, Sarah. You guys are losing your shirts. I've never been prouder of the NRA.

I wonder if Jim Brady ever reflects upon the notion that if he were packing a light weight revolver at the time, not only would he be all right but President Reagan would not have gone in to the good earth with an assassin's bullet still in him.

I wonder if he and his wife ever reflec that if John Hinckley were put to sleep instead of getting off on a crazy plea, that maybe, just maybe the next nut bag would think twice.

>From a private individual who doesn’t sell firearms for a living.

The funny thing about that is that “for a living” is entirely subjective, as even the BATF guys will admit. (Because there’s also the clause ‘for a profit’ somewhere in the reg.)

>Aside from that, it’s all BS.

So are the majority of our gun-control laws.
So is the idea that Congress, the FedGov (Exec branch), or the USSC care about any of the following: Justice, Responsibility, Accountability, “the law”, Citizens...

To: DCBryan1; All

Memo to Jim & Sarah(Not the good one). When sending out please advise us as to where these inexpensive items can be found. The only ones I can find are a lot more costly. Where can I find more ammo especially those hard to get armor piercing Black Rinos and RPGs. By the way the NRA has a great gun training video “Eddie Eagle” you might want to buy for your uneducated son.

And please understand-I'm not angry with folks like you...or angry about my own personal situation.

Lie... he IS angry about being in a wheelchair, and since he cannot take it out on the guy who put him there, he's taking it out on "folks like you."

Alike no mention of Mr. and Mrs. Brady teaching their
child about gun safety, no wonder he picked it up.
Gun handling should be taught all through school.
Gun safety in the early grades, shooting and handling in the upper grades.

It’s ok to teach kids how to put a condom on a banana,
It’s ok to teach them about gay anal sex,
And exploring your lesbian self is taught all the time
but the wrath of a liberal god comes down on anyone who would dare to teach them gun safety.

Oh and Sarah, I’ve been going to gun shows
for a LONG time and I’ve NEVER seen one in a school gymnasium.

Say I understand the one who shot Reagan
and your husband is allowed family leave now, sure that’s a deterrent alright.

Thanks for the ping. I was busy signing them both up for a free NRA membership. :-)

They would get a truly strongly worded letter from me.

MAC-10s were only in production for civilians for about 16 years before Reagan signed that atrocity of a gun bill. I also doubt they’re available for under a thousand.

Yep...the guy was a Bircher and I went up and whispered to him, "No, I'm Spartacus!"

This is too obscure. Who was a "Bircher"? And what is a "Bircher"?

Who is a "Bircher" and what is the significance?

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Brady:
I am sorry you have lost your ability to walk. That day was tragic for you and a scare to the nation.

However, your efforts are still born out of anger for the position you now find your self in. An irrational anger. I am not trying to insult, truly, but from my perspective that is the way it looks.

Your top ten reasons for not liking guns are factually incorrect and only approach the issue from the point you are selling.

Do you honestly believe a human should not have the right to protect themselves. That is giving up on a human right that we all demand, LIFE. How do justify disarming another human being in this dangerous world and say “Just take it”, for the greater good I suppose.

You may be comfortable never seeing a gun and in some ways I don't blame you. But for anyone who commits violence against another they expect an even stronger response as a defense to one’s very valued and only life they have.

I am not.

I don't expect the police to stop violence against me in the 3 to 60 minutes it takes them to respond. Not knocking the police but that is just way things work. They do what they can, as fast as they can and with as much excellence possible.

But maybe I won't have access to the phone so I can wait for someone to answer or receive a busy signal. Are you aware that if you use a cell phone in Northern California the calls are sent to a CHP call center and at rush hour you can wait an hour for the call to be answered?

Could you or would you, seriously put you or a loved at risk because you want to wait for the police?

You will be dead or seriously injured. Period.

The police do not live with you and can't prevent violence against you or your family.

The decision of preservation of your life is a personal responsibility. If you choose to forfeit your life because of a personal belief, fine.

But I do not forfeit my life. Heck, I like it and this world and will fight to defend myself, only.

Do you see my point of view?

I want never to have violence visited upon me but rest assured I will readily and unflinchingly defend myself if there are no other alternatives.
