Brady, who served as the White House Press Secretary under President Ronald Reagan and became an advocate for gun control, died Aug. 4 at 73. Brady was confined to a wheelchair after being shot in the head during John Hinkley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981. After the shooting, Brady was no longer able to serve as press secretary, but held the title for the remainder of Reagan's term, with Larry Speakes and Marlin Fitzwater performing the duties as acting or deputy press secretary. He subsequently became an outspoken advocate for gun control and the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act (aka "The Brady Bill"), which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993, is named for him.
