Gun-control activist and widow of James Brady dies at 73. We’re sorry her husband was shot by a maniac, we’re sorry for what they had to go though and we hope she rests in peace. We’re not sorry she won’t be around trying to outlaw guns anymore.

    Hat tip to CO2 - I couldn't have said it better.

  • Not to worry, hypocritical control freaks like Bloomtard will be happy to pick up the slack when it comes to taking away our rights.

  • My thoughts exactly. Being a victim of gun violence doesn't give you the right to put me in danger to make you feel better.

  • No fan of their 2nd amendment stance but my brother and his wife used to pal around with them quite a bit and said they were very nice people. Rest in peace.

  • At least Reagan did not become a gun-control activist after his attempted assassination.

  • It was a tragedy that her hubby was shot, but like so many misguided, she attacks the object instead of the objectivisor; much like attacking the car instead of its driver, or worse yet...the auto maker, the gun manufacturer, or the candle stick maker!

  • The ravenous anti-gun crowd are made up of people like her, rich beyond belief and bored, so they need a hobby, are paid astro-turfers, or in on the con from the top to erode constitutional rights to the greatest degree. I think her heart was in the right place early on, but she was co-opted by the frothing douchebags who believe in total government control and they conned a nice old lady who had her husband shot to buy their bullshit hook, line, and sinker.

    As for the new breed of gun grabbers-they are all government trained, have the money from douchebags like Mike Bloomberg who are bored old rich f**ks who don't care about our rights, because they believe they will be on the inside of comrade's inner circle, while we pleb proletarians live out our lives in squalor. This is why a win in 2016 is not needed, it is a must, or we will all die..that may sound reactionary, but I submit to every reader herein the timeframe it took hitler to turn the leftists in Germany on the rest of the population, and start rounding up the unbelievers, gypsies, foreigners, and Jews. We are at the point where that will begin if a republican doesn't get the whitehouse. We are endangered species(free Americans) and our collective ticket is about to be punched. Get active. Donate to the cause. Stand up to the animals of the left. We are quickly running out of time.

  • These "victims" often end up attacking the symptoms and totally missing the problems. Therefore their "solutions " are feckless farts sent in the wrong direction. Do something about the mentally ill who need help, not abolishing lawful, constitutional gun rights. Now let's see again that wonderful smile of Gabby Giffords right after ripping off some rounds of an AR-15.

  • Yea, well. She's gone, but there are millions of deluded assholes that are working hard to take her place.
