The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Bill required a criminal background check before an individual could buy a handgun. Named after Ronald Reagan’s press secretary, James Brady, who was badly wounded during the assassination attempt on Reagan in March 1981, the Brady Bill was first introduced in 1987 and failed numerous times to get through Congress. Democrats in the Senate blamed the National Rifle Association and charged that this powerful gun lobby controlled President Bush.

Chief—The Backswing—Look Out—

10/17/1973

Events in the Watergate crisis moved so rapidly and dramatically on the weekend of October 19–21 that Herblock drew two cartoons to cover them. Tape recordings made in the Oval Office were the object of a jurisdictional struggle involving Congress, Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, and the White House. The tapes might determine if President Nixon was complicit in the 1972 break-in of Democratic headquarters in the Watergate complex, and whether he had interfered with the FBI’s investigation of this crime. Nixon argued that the tapes were protected by executive privilege and national security; the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his claims but preferred that the parties reach an accommodation.

This cartoon reflects the nation’s somber mood after the “Saturday-night massacre,” with the “backswing” heading toward Nixon himself, as newspaper headlines screamed “pressure for impeachment mounting.”
