It’s good to have friends who decline to prosecute

Agreed. Like Thumper’s mom said....”If you can’t say something nice.......” So I guess the only nice thing to say is she was a genius a puppetree.

Will she receive a 21-gun salute at her burial?

For a human being as magnificently perfect as her, almost as Godlike as Obama, can any law made by filthy humans ever really apply.

My tears at this moment are capable of drowning the Earth, like Noah’s flood. And how appropriate! We are, after all, talking about a God!!!!

She will be honored by the totalitarian Left and will join the pantheon of great & heroic gun confiscation leaders- Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro etc.

I believe she was in the gun control movement only for the money.

Yes, way back when she got involved for the very first time, she could have actually believed gun control was a workable solution and she could have honestly believed the lies the gun control crowd fed her way back when to convince her to join their side.

But after all these years of her involvement, there is no way she couldnt have been conscience of the fact that gun control didnt work and all her arguments in favor of it were nothing but lies.

I believe she stayed in the movement because its what paid her bills. Her husband having been shot, it fell upon her shoulders to be the breadwinner. She obviously wasnt getting rich off of it (as far as I know), but her salary as chair of her organization apparently paid enough to keep a roof over her head, food in her stomach, clothes on her back, and the few extras in life.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Brady.

Her tireless efforts at gun control energized millions of voters to the polls in largely successful support of increased RKBA rights, saving countless lives in the process.

I gives me great joy in knowing that she lived long enough to see this:
