The Bradys are probably there to consult with the president about gun control, specifically keeping guns out of the hands of those with mental illnesses. Mr. Brady’s life was forever changed because of John Hinckley. I remember the assassination attempt on President Reagan as if it happened yesterday.
So do I, majii, that was a terrible time. I hope something can be done sometime soon about the gun craziness in our country. I live in Europe, and people here just don’t get it.

I live in America, Andogriff, and I don’t “get” the obsession that so many here have with guns.
I don’t get it either, Maji. It seems as though the obsession continues to grow.
