Statement from President Clinton and Secretary Clinton on the Passing of Sarah Brady

Statement

Hillary and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Sarah Brady. Sarah and her late husband Jim were fierce champions of sensible gun legislation, for which few could make as passionate or as personal a case. She transformed tragedy into a courageous campaign, and because of her work and her remarkable life, American families are safer today. It is one of the great honors of my life that I had the opportunity to sign the Brady Bill into law in 1993, after Jim and Sarah fought so hard for more than six years to help pass it. We treasured the friendship of this wonderful woman, and we will never forget her strength of will or her dauntless courage in the face of long odds. Our prayers go out to Sarah’s family and our thoughts are with her many friends, admirers and supporters.
