I know someone who was paralyzed from the neck down when lifting weights - he was holding barbells and tipped over backwards, breaking his spine in half. His family isn't suing the barbell manufacturer.

A whole group of classmates in my high school were killed in their car when it stalled on the railroad tracks and an oncoming locomotive smashed into them. Their families aren't trying to ban cars or trains.

A friend of mine became permanently disabled when he was run over by a car while riding his bicycle. His wife isn't getting rich trying to get bicycles out of the hands of law-abiding citizens.

An uncle of mine had a heart attack and died while shoveling snow. His wife didn't become a political celebrity trying to get snowshovels off the streets.

My friend was beat up by her boyfriend who broke her jaw, which resulted in a chronic case of TMJ. She didn't go national trying to ban boyfriends (or fists).

I wonder what Sarah Brady's problem is.
