Title: President Ronald Reagan Was Shot 29 Years Ago Today

Twenty-nine years ago today, President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest by a deranged man, John Hinckley Jr.

Reagan was walking out of the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., on March 30, 1981, when Hinckley, standing among a group of reporters, began firing at the president and others in his group.

One of the six shots collapsed Reagan’s lung. White House Press Secretary James Brady was shot in the head, while Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and D.C. Police Officer Thomas Delahanty were also shot. Reagan, 70, was able to walk into the hospital under his own power and resumed some of his duties the following day after surgery.

Reagan’s popularity skyrocketed after the assassination attempt. Brady, who nearly died, suffered permanent brain damage and would become an ardent supporter of gun control. In 1993, Congress passed the "Brady Bill," which required a waiting period and background checks for gun buyers. McCarthy and Delahanty also recovered fully.

Hinckley was eventually found not guilty by reason of insanity, a verdict that prompted a wave of public dismay. The 25-year-old was obsessed with the Martin Scorsese film "Taxi Driver," which depicts a cabby who briefly stalks its lead actress, Jodie Foster, and tries to assassinate a presidential candidate,. The assassination of Reagan was intended to win Foster’s affection.

He was sent to a mental hospital and, as his mental illness fell into remission, he was given permission to visit his parents occasionally with supervision, a privilege that continues to this day.

The public was never fully informed at the time just how close Reagan came to dying in the days immediately after the shooting. The whole fleet went to general quarters for 12 hours, within minutes of the attack.

"It was like yesterday."

You must have been at a different point in your life than me then, becuz it seems like SOOO long ago that Reagan was President, let alone when he was getting shot early in his Presidency.

They say Carter Begat Reagan, so we gotta hope the ObamaNation Begats some solid ReaganConservative fer 2012, but I'm not sure HOO's ready to step up to the plate. I've got Sarah Palin penciled in fer 2020, and Mitt's still thinking Americans oughtta be forced to buy KRAP they don't want. So HOO's it gonna be? I'm leaning towards Haley Barbour still, but my eyes are wide open lookin' fer the next Heir-Apparent...MUD

You're not afraid that since Admiral Boof has released what was apparently until this moment ABOVE TOP SECRET info that our lives are in danger?

I will say one thing...until today I never knew that Admiral "Bull" Boofer and Captain S.O. Obvious were the same person.

/sarc

The COMMANDER IN CHIEF, who had been rattling various sabers since taking office, was attacked...OF COURSE the military was put on alert.

How so? I hadn't heard about any controversy regarding how Gov. Barbour's run that state. Do you have a link to evidence...or do you just not like folks from Mississippi?
