Jim “the Bear” Brady saw his career cut short on March 30, 1981, during an assassination attempt against the president. In addition to President Reagan, Jim and two law enforcement officers were shot. Jim suffered a serious head wound that left him partially paralyzed for life. Soon after the shooting, Jim and his wife Sarah Brady, became respected gun violence prevention advocates. Today, Brady President Kris Brown and VP of Legal Jon Lowy talk with host JJ about that fateful day in 1981, and the Brady mission and legacy that followed (and continues!) today.
