WASHINGTON - Gun-control advocate Sarah Brady bought her son a powerful rifle for Christmas in 2000 - and may have skirted Delaware state background-check requirements, the New York Daily News has learned.

Brady reveals in a new memoir that she bought James Brady Jr. a Remington .30-06, complete with scope and safety lock, at a Lewes, Del., gun shop.

Brady became a household name as a crusader for stricter gun-control laws after her husband, James, then the White House press secretary, was seriously wounded in a 1981 assassination attempt on then-President Ronald Reagan.

"We hope that it's innocuous and there's been no laws violated," said James Jay Baker, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association. "It's obviously interesting that Sarah would be purchasing firearms of any kind for anybody, given her championing of restrictive guns laws for everyone."

Can anyone say "sacred cow?"

Comments

Add Sarah Brady to the schaudenfreude list populated by the likes of William Raspberry, Rosie O' Donnell, and many police groups - those who believe that guns that are used to protect them are good, while those used to protect the ordinary riffraff are bad. And a 30-06 with a scope is no squirrel rifle - it's made expressly for stopping BIG game. Hypocrisy is a way of life for those in and around government - they almost all believe they are exempt from that which they would force on everyone else.
