Yup,
He had the right frontal lobe in his brain blown out by one of Hinkleys bullets. today he is parallized on the left side. He was loved by the press and the Republican party. Nice guy really, at least before he got shot. It was pretty tough for a lot of Republicans to stand up against the Bradys because of who they were. Conservatives played dead, Liberals screamed blue bloody murder, and Bear just posed in front of the TV cameras and looked pathetic. The rest was history and we got waiting periods, assault weapon bans, and the severe restrictions on imported guns.

yeah, my "Left" side is paralyzed as well. It just can't seem to get past the part of my brain that knows "Right" from wrong.

That would have been the primary target Ronald Reagan. He remained a solid second amendment supporter, saying having been shot he was positive of his position.

Also of note, Sarah married Jim after he was shot. fwiw..

what are some other guns out there besides uzi tech-9 and MP5 that are big but could still be carried

MAC 11-9mm, there's a smaller version of the MAC that is chambered in .380 as well. Not sure if you've priced a Class III weapon lately but WOW - they are PRICEY! I bought mine 12 years ago or so and I still thought it was pricey for what it was, they just keep on going up!

yeah im not going to run out and buy one today but im interested in getting one at some point

If Class III weaponry holds to it's typical rise, it's gonna be cheaper today than a year or two from now. I wish I would've bought more when I did.

Unless you only mean SMG style, Desert Eagle is big, HK Expert is large. Go all out and get a 9mm Calico M950 with the 50 rd drum. If you are able to meet at PSC I have all 3 and you are welcome to attempt to conceal them. The Calico is SMG styled but not as bulky as a Mac.

yea I mean SMG and I looked at the Calico M950 its an odd looking one for sure. I am very confident that with a 50 round drum on it i could not conceal it


another one that I was thinking about is the MP7
anyone know about those

I forget now what it was but they use an odd ammo

Pretty simple...If it wasn't around in 1986 (and the MP7 wasn't) you can't get one.

Just a quick factoid: Sarah and James Brady married July 21, 1973. On December 29, 1978, their son, James Scott Brady, Jr., was born. The failed assassination attempt that resulted in Brady's injury was March 30, 1981.

MP7 shoots 9mm i think. I picked up 1 of these at a show last month for plinking. Identical to an MP7 but in .22. Some parts even interchange. Would be easier to hide a calico.

Unless you have the JBT exemption.
