Reagan's Press Secretary To Meet With Carney

Former White House Press Secretary James Brady is meeting with current spokesman Jay Carney Wednesday to mark the 30th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s attempted assassination.

Brady, Reagan’s Press Secretary at the time, was shot during the attempt and left permanently disabled. In the years following, he became a major supporter of gun-control, a message he intends to bring to the White House Wednesday.

Brady’s visit comes shortly after President Obama penned an op-ed calling for a national conversation on gun policy. According to Brady’s organization, the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence, the former Press Secretary will highlight H.B. 308 and S.B. 32.

“Those bills would ban large-capacity assault clips, like the kind used by the Tucson shooter on January 8,” a statement from the campaign reads.

The meeting between the two secretaries will take place in the White House briefing room, which was officially renamed in 2000 after Brady.
