Another one gone

Slate has an obituary by Ben Mathis-Lilley about an anti-gub nut:

James Brady, the White House press secretary who survived being shot in the head during the attempted 1981 assassination of President Ronald Reagan and became a gun-control activist, has died at the age of 73. From Reuters:

Brady spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair after being shot, but, with wife Sarah, campaigned for a gun law that would be known as the "Brady bill". The law, passed in 1993, required a mandatory five-day waiting period for purchase of handguns and also background checks for would-be gun buyers.
Many types of gun sales are not subject to Brady Act background check restrictions.

Brady's death was announced by his family, but the cause of his death was not immediately available.

Rico says he's still sorry the guy got shot; nobody deserves that... (Well, okay, a few people do.)
