Sarah Brady went after the wrong target when her husband's wound disabled him permanently.

Untreated mental illness not a gun caused Hinckley to shoot Reagan & the others.

Thanks to the liberals, people with mental illnesses cannot be hospitalized nor compelled to take medication unless they are proven to be a 'danger to themself or others'; then a Judge can order such treatment.

Hinckley had a history of mental illness but his parents were unable to force compliance. Even today it is a long legal battle for families to get mentally ill adult relatives committed for treatment.

Too bad Sarah Brady wasn't smart enough to recognize the real cause of the shooting......instead of attacking the 2nd Amendment, she should have focused her efforts on mental illness!

You are right. The number one cause of suicide is untreated mental illness. Good catch.

You're right, but Sarah is mentally ill herself. She has been used by venal politicians whose goal is civilian disarmament. Hinckley can buy another pistol today, completely unhampered by the Brady bill just as thousands of gangsters buy pistols every year.

I despise Sarah Brady and everyone associated with her. She should be in a rubber room somewhere.
