(FILES) This file photo taken on March 30, 2011 shows former White House Press Secretary Jim Brady (C) speaking alongside his wife, Sarah (R), and Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke, about legislation curbing gun violence during a press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. John Hinckley, who attempted to assassinate US president Ronald Reagan 35 years ago, is to be freed from a psychiatric hospital to live full-time with his mother, a federal judge ordered July 27, 2016. The attack badly wounded three other men, including Reagan press secretary James Brady, who though disabled went on to become a leading gun-control advocate. Since the 1990s, Hinckley had been permitted gradually longer supervised home visits with his mother, lately lasting as long as 17 days. Members of Reagan's family have consistently opposed Hinckley's release. / AFP PHOTO / SAUL LOEBSAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images
