    Don't know why the picture showed up small. I used to work with Bob. He was the head of security where I work. Really cool person to talk to. I keep meaning to have my picture taken with him. I would love to have him sign the top cover of my Uzi! Some years ago my Dad and I were at Wall mart and ran into Bob. I told my Dad that he had to meet this person. When we got home. I asked my Dad if he would like to see who he had just met. Then I showed him this picture. I have never seen it, but apparently when Bob worked at the hotel. He had a series of pictures of him opening the briefcase.

    I was in high school that day, when they announced it over the intercom the kids clapped their hands.

    I had always wondered where the Uzi came from. I had never seen the brief case before all I knew was that guy was armed with an Uzi in what seemed like less than a second. I expect they practice that a lot to be able to arm themselves quickly.

    It can't be real. Cause the only brown guy in the picture
    didn't get shot, you know brown lives matter.

    Bob does look very serious, good picture.

    El Duce can you explain the picture? I see at least 3 people
    down one looks to be a cop but I am not sure of the rest.

    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    This was the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981. The Brady bill was born after this.

    Not only that he gets let out every once in a while. Also, family friends of the Bushes.

    Technically it was NAMED after this. The entire bill in various forms has been kicking around for decades. They finally had a well known useful tool to 'gain sympathy' when they tried to ram it down several times in the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Sad, but we now associate the name 'Brady' with lying two faced hustlers and elitists.... aka the various 'rebranded' gun control groups

    I was having one lousy Day at Work: 382nd P.S.C. Ft. Devens, Mass. Personnel Management Branch at the MIL.P.O. It was 1 Week before I went on Home on Leave for a Month. I recall coming back to the Company for Lunch and to check my Mail at the Orderly Room. They had the T.V. in the Day Room running. We were not on Alert, but I recall an Announcement in the MIL.P.O. when I went back to Work. I was glad he survived. This was around the time we almost got the 600 Ship Navy. It was a good time to be in the Military. However I still think it is sad that stupid Secret Service Agent, was too stupid to open the Stock on his UZI. This is what happens when you only shoot Revolvers. Paul
