The Brady family was victim to gun violence, Jim Brady was shot in the head, changed his life forever, his wife has advocated for gun laws of which the Brady Bill came, it took five times to pass but thankfully enough congressional members voted for its passage. Since then the NRA has had control of members who does not realize the need for gun control and even got immunity for the gun industry, this needs to change.
