I haven't seen the video of Jim Brady walking, no.
I do agree that both of them are ideologically screwed up people, pursuing policy that would not have saved anyone any death or injury (gun control simply cannot accomplish that). Yet even though they are wrong, they seek to impose their views on us as LAW.
I hate 'em both.
One thing I have learned is that when something horrible or tragic occurs, the last people we should consult about what to do about the possibility of a repeat occurrence are the ones that it happened to.
When someone is run down by a drunk driver, you don't go to his mother and ask what society should do, because her answer may be something, "We should castrate the sons o' bitches who drive drunk, and make their mothers eat their balls; and then we should string 'em up and throw pitchforks at 'em, and then bury their carcasses in a muddy swamp!"
I mean, come on, if you want hysterical, irrational solutions, yeah, by all means, go and ask the actual victims -- the people who are too close to the problem to deal with it rationally.
In the case of gun control, that would be Sarah and Jim Brady. Their lives are too affected by (what they perceive to be) guns' effects on society for them to be able to discuss the subject with level heads.
