Fuck you Brady! all I want is a couple of guns, and thanks to your fucking bill I will probably not get any! come on, I'll have a clean record and I only want for personal protection. Its not like I'm some person who would go on a shooting spree.... fuckers. Ill probably end up nuking everything and fucking robbing some gun collectors house. Fuck, thatll be be hard. oh well, just as long as I kill a lot of fucking people. Everyone is always making fun of me because of how I look, how fucking weak I am and shit, well I will get you all back: ultimate fucking revenge here. you people could have shown more respect, treated me better, asked for my knowledge or guidence more, treated me more like senior, and maybe I wouldn't have been as ready to tear your fucking heads off. then again, I have always hated how I looked, I make fun of people who look like me, sometimes without even thinking sometimes just because I want to rip on myself. Thats where a lot of my hate grows from, the fact that I have practically no selfesteem, especially concerning girls and looks and such. therefore people make fun of me... constantly... therefore I get no respect and therefore I get fucking PISSED. as of this date I have enough explosives to kill about 100 people, and then if I get a couple bayonetts, swords, axes, whatever I'll be able to kill at least 10 more. and that just isnt enough! GUNS! I need guns! Give me some fucking firearms!

"Brady" refers to James Brady, President Reagan's press secretary. He was shot in the head on Monday, March 30, 1981 - a few days before Eric was born (on Thursday, April 9, 1981.)

He successfully lobbied Congress to pass the Brady Bill, a law mandating that gun sellers run background checks on prospective buyers.

James Brady died today (Monday, August 4, 2014). He was 73.

Good to know who Brady was, I always wondered that when I read that entry. I understand everything better now.

I'm glad I was able to clear that up for you.

He was shot by John Hinckley, a nutcase who thought that, if he shot President Reagan, Jodie Foster would go out with him. (Seriously, that was his stated motive. He was ruled insane.)

In this clip, Brady is one of the people lying on the ground:
