   (RNN) – Sarah Brady, wife of former Reagan Press Secretary Jim   
   Brady, has died.   
      
   The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence announced her death   
   on Friday, calling her a champion against gun violence and   
   saying “her commitment and fiery compassion will live on.”   
      
   They did not announce a cause of death. Sarah Brady was 73.   
      
   "In the history of our nation, there are few people, if any, who   
   are directly responsible for saving as many lives as Sarah and   
   Jim," the Brady Campaign said in a news release.   
      
   "There are countless people walking around today who would not   
   be were it not for Sarah Brady's remarkable resilience,   
   compassion and – what she always said she enjoyed the most – her   
   hard work in the trenches with this organization, which she   
   continued right up to the very end."   
      
   The Bradys pushed for gun control laws and the Brady Handgun   
   Violence Prevention Act was passed in 1993 as a result of their   
   efforts. The Brady bill made background checks mandatory for gun   
   purchases from a licensed dealer.   
      
   James Brady was shot during an assassination attempt on then   
   President Ronald Reagan in 1981.   
      
   He died in August 2014. His death was ruled a homicide as a   
   result of the gunshot wound he received three decades prior.
