James Brady quotes

“For target shooting, that's okay. Get a license and go to the range. For defense of the home, that's why we have police departments.”
-- James Brady -
“You gotta play the hand that's dealt you. There may be pain in that hand, but you play it. And I've played it.”

“There was always talk of espirit de corps, of being gung ho, and that must have been a part of it. Better, tougher training, more marksmanship on the firing range, the instant obedience to orders seared into men in boot camp.”

“One very clear impression I had of all the Beautiful People was their prudence. It may be that they paid for their own airline tickets, but they paid for little else.”
-- James Brady -
“For all the good things it has brought our society, the Web has also fostered ideological hermits, who only talk to folks who believe exactly what they do. This creates an echo chamber that only further convinces people that they are right, and everyone else is not only wrong, but an idiot or worse. So when an incident like this one arises, it's not enough to point out an error; they must prove that the error had nefarious origins. In some places on the Web, everything happens on a grassy knoll.”
