I read an article somewhere that said Mr.Brady had one of the best collections of full automatic firearms in the country before his brain damage.

Can anyone confirm this?

The latest thing I heard is that the New York Daily News is retracting its story tomorrow because apparently they stretched the truth when they said this was illegal. (Did it really sound correct to people that you can't buy a gun for someone as a gift?)

The Sarah Brady quotation in #51 is bogus. It originally appeared in Machine Gun News, June 1991, Volume 5, Number 1, page 6. Neal Knox checked into this extensively - before it even appeared in the National Educator - and concluded that it was bogus.

And Jim Brady never had machine guns. In fact, Republican senatorial candidate Al Salvi of Illinois found that out the hard way in October 1996 when he repeated that myth publicly and the press pounded him for it and he had to retract it. And he lost the election.
