Well they did stop him…from reloading. And of course, not with guns, but by dogpiling him.

I have nothing really nice to say here, so … I will keep relative thoughts to myself.

gledholtuk · March 30, 2015, 9:21pm

Sentiment good. Typo ridiculous.

firstprime · March 30, 2015, 9:22pm

Damn. I wish I had thought of that. Brillant.

firstprime · March 30, 2015, 9:22pm

Really? You’re serious? And you really to get your keyboard fixed.

captaincommonsense · March 30, 2015, 9:31pm

Oh FUCK YEAH, I love it!!

austin_dave · March 30, 2015, 9:31pm

I think he uses caps like that because he’s German.

ottnott · March 30, 2015, 9:32pm

You are being mischevious.

ottnott · March 30, 2015, 9:33pm

The rightwing media will blow a gasket and demand that Hillary immediately condemn the politicization of Reagan’s shooting.

59gibson · March 30, 2015, 9:53pm

Too true… just a few more guns would have solved it… when everyone is armed, things will quiet down fast… for the few survivors

I dream of a day when Ronald Reagan is completely forgotten by everyone.

jimtoday · March 30, 2015, 10:11pm

The gun nuts won’t get it. It’s too subtle!

meri · March 30, 2015, 10:23pm

Well, Hinckley tried.

cvilledem · March 30, 2015, 10:39pm

Wait a minute – was Reagan a GOOD guy? Where was his gun? I guess he left it at home with Mommy.

johnbarleycorn · March 30, 2015, 10:49pm

The NRA says “The only thing that STOPS…” The don’t say “PREVENTS.” You can’t STOP something until it’s STARTED. Those “Good Guys With Guns” did, in fact, stop Hinckley, albeit not WITH the guns. So…I dunno.

chelsea530 · March 30, 2015, 11:11pm

Interesting that he shot Reagan and lived.

That was before the NRA and gun manufacturers became greedy and fear wasn’t the defining issue for some Americans.

It’s just so embarrassing.

The answer is obvious to anyone who understands the 2nd Amendment.
The right to keep and bear arms also extends to the right to carry a facsimile of James Brady’s head to absorb fire.

In fact, it should be a requirement for every American to bear a facsimile of James Brady’s head as a way to safeguard the right of every American to possess and brandish military paraphernalia at kindergarten recitals and Wamart shopping trips.
