HCI states that "the quotation you attribute to Ms. Brady is a complete facrication..." It was asked the CRPA publish a retraction in the next issue of The Firing Line (March 2000).

There are very few copies of the January 1994, "The National Educator" magazine known to be available in public libraries. CRPA was able to locate one at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin Library and obtained a copy fo the quote in question.

The quote, as published in "The National Educator," is not preciely as was referenced in The Firing Line.

What the quote in "The National Educator" magazine does say is the following: "Our task of creating a Socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed." According to "The National Educator" magazine, Sarah Brady made this statement to U.S. Senator Howard Metzenbaum while lobbying in support of a ban on semi automatic firearms.
