Did not know that

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

I did not know that the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership traveled back in time to get the Gun Control Act of 1968 passed: The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is responsible for three sensible laws that shouldn’t be negated by the Supreme Court. The 1968 Gun Control Act lists the kind of […]

Retention

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Lautenberg wants to increase the length of time that the feds keep gun records from 24 hours to six months. Ten years, if you’re on the terror watch list (which is the same list that Ted Kennedy was on). Says armed and safe: The name of this charming bit of tyranny? Preserving Records of Terrorist […]

When the correction is a lie

Monday, April 21st, 2008

A correction at the bottom of an article in the New York Times: Because of an editing error, an article on Tuesday about efforts by state lawmakers across the country to pass new restrictions on guns referred imprecisely to the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. While it supports some firearms restrictions and enforcement of […]

Colored guns

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

So, Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership is hopping on board the colored guns are evil and designed to kill our children bandwagon. Now, the anti-gunners have done a lot of really, really stupid things but his is probably the dumbest one yet. Seriously. Think about it. They’re encouraging laws banning […]

It’s that time again!

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

About six months ago, the press was All AK-47 All The Time!!!!! Now, it has returned. Some variation of the same article can be seen here, here, here and here. And I’m sure there are more. Some snippets: But it was unremarkable in that one of the guns brandished was an AK-47-type rifle — a […]

Petey on Weapons That Look Like Assault Weapons

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Peter Hamm of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership: Police officers need to be able to defend themselves and the rest of us, and they need the weapons to do so. Come on, Petey, you keep telling us these weapons serve no purpose other than killing as many people as quickly as possible. Thirdpower […]

More Heller than you can shake a stick at

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

What, I’m running out of post titles Extreme Mortman’s Give ‘Em Heller: Here’s a proposal: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be asked their thoughts about the case. A simple question: Which way do you hope the case is decided? Well, Obama has already said he supports DC’s gun ban. Ilya Somin: experience in other […]

Unpossible

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Another mass shooting has occured in the state that the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership ranked as number one in gun control for having the nation’s strongest gun laws.

Fun with the opposition

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Don’t make Petey angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. He might shoot you. In other news, The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership and The American Hunters and Shooters Association were sitting in a tree. And someone I know who watched the Heller argument said Fenty looked like someone shot his dog. Apparently, […]

NJ is Number Two

Friday, March 14th, 2008

In the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s gun control ranking stunt. So, how does it fair? Well, the New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense has a look.

Rally ’round the family

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

So, when anti-gunners have a rally and a dozen or so people show up. It makes the news. Pro-gunners rally and show up in the thousands. A reminder as to why politicians seek NRA approval and not Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership approval. Update: Other press accounts say hundreds. Still, it’s more than 12.

That’s a relief

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Did you know Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership is not anti-gun?

East Tennessee on Guns – 2

Friday, March 7th, 2008

A few days ago, I noted that on a local radio show: Throughout the whole bit (that I listened to, anyway), not one person called in in support of more gun control. Today, that changed. Dave Foulk (who has a blog) was basically stating that, in light of recent events, that if people wanted to […]

Second verse same as the first

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Looks like some Reasoned Discoursetm is breaking out over at Paul Helmke’s HuffPo blog. It’s a trend! You’ll recall the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s original Helmke blog shut down comments because there was no better source for pro-gun information than the Brady Blog itself.

Guns and elections

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Last week, I noted that the Seattle Post Intelligencer (which is still a stupid name for a newspaper) was lamenting the fact that politicians aren’t talking about gun control. Now, the NYT is getting in on the why, oh, why aren’t politicians doing more to make life harder on gun owners truck: The Democrats Get […]

Kettle, this is pot, come in

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership is having a tough time: Two investigations against pro-gun rights groups that were initiated by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. The FEC said that in both cases, one against the National Rifle Association and the other against the Gun Owners […]

SCCC to Petey: Put up or shut up

Monday, February 25th, 2008

You’ll recall that gun control lackey Peter Hamm of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership, taking time out from threatening to shoot people and telling kids to drop out of school, said that Students For Concealed Carry On Campus was funded by the gun lobby. Well, Students For Concealed Carry On Campus says prove […]

Correlation

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Thirdpower correlates instances of mass shootings with their Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership state rankings and gun free zones. Note that the Brady Bunch did not rank Washington DC, the murder capital of the country. Not, it’s not causation but it does indicate that gun controls don’t exactly stop these things.

Band-aid’s ahead

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Chicago Tribune: Angry Parents Push For Gun Control You wouldn’t know the facts from the article because it spends the first eight paragraphs giving details designed to tug at the heart strings. Then two people mention that they’re angry. So, let’s push for gun control! Let’s institute licensing and registration for gun owners! Oh, they […]

Gun Control Presser

Friday, February 15th, 2008

In light of yesterday’s mass shooting in a state where citizens are prohibited from carrying firearms, near a city where handguns are banned, on a school campus where firearms are prohibited (unless you have a note), The Brady Bunch and friends released a presser. It has some policies to reduce the carnage: o An effective […]

On a roll

Friday, February 15th, 2008

The level of spin from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership is astounding. I mean, it’s obvious they have zero political clout outside a few cities and, generally, people aren’t on their side. So, when live hands you crap, make crap-ade. They’re taking credit for the NICS improvement bill, which was written by NRA […]

One man’s publicity stunt is another’s study

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Actual headline: Ohio scores low in gun-control study They’re, of course, referencing the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s scorecards. This is about as much a study as I am a Kenny Loggins Record. The press continues to take dictation from anti-gun groups.

lame

Friday, February 8th, 2008

According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership, handgun carry permit holders might be poachers.

2A Blog Bash

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Heading to the 2A Blog Bash to hang out with your favorite gun bloggers? You should be. And if you are, you need to know Kentucky’s carry laws. Kentucky got the best score on the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership’s ranking of violent crime. Info provided by GBW.

That time again?

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Why, it seems like just yesterday the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership was telling me which states had less violent crime. And now, they’re doing it again. They just do it backwards: Since 2001, RTC states, where more people carry guns in public, consistently average a “D”. Brady continues to be unhappy with the […]

Good point

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Suzanne Harris thinks that both the NRA’s and The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership’s webpages stink. Yeah, I find that both pages lack in the info department as well as the ease of navigation department. But she continues: A frequent contributor to this blog, Gabe Goldberg, wrote a post which mentioned in passing that […]

More Helmke Spin

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Seems Paul Helmke of The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership is happy with the DOJ brief in Heller. Sebastian notes: Bush has offered Brady two things with his brief. The first is a way out of their nightmare. An individual rights ruling that means nothing is something Brady can work with.

PSH In VA

Friday, January 11th, 2008

On a bill introduced in VA to allow lawful CCW holders to carry on campus, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership breaks out the hysteria: But Gilbert’s bill is a bad idea and would cost lives, according to Brian J. Siebel, senior attorney with the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. College students often […]

How?

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Paul Helmke from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership: A Victory For The Families Of Virginia Tech, And For Common-Sense Gun Control How is that? This bill would not have stopped Cho. Wednesday night, the U.S. Congress approved by “unanimous consent” a bill that CBS News called “the first major new gun control bill […]

NICS Bill to the president

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I was out of pocket when the news broke. So, I’ll round up what everyone else said. The NRA: After months of careful negotiation, pro-gun legislation was passed through Congress today. The National Rifle Association (NRA) worked closely with Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to address his concerns regarding H.R. 2640, the National Instant Check System […]
