Million Mom March's aim: "Stop gun deaths"

If any of my guns died, I'd be really sad.

I certainly shouldn't let an assault rifle be handled by postal workers.

Thanks for the stats.

Do you have stats for total firearm caused deaths in the USA?

James Brady was a good guy, it is a sin how his wife drags him into a fray that he would never agreed to in his right mind.

Sarah Brady was once a good person too, but she needed a cause to jump on and remain relevant in the Washington cocktail and social circuit.

Hence, the gun-grabbing agenda....
