LifeNRA Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 ANOTHER DUNCE CAP FOR BRADY CAMPAIGN You know the anti-gunners are desperate when they have to resort to nonsense like this. Even though violent crime has declined 12 straight years and is at a 27-year low, the Brady Campaign says that 31 states deserve a "D" or "F" grade for their gun laws. This, according to their eighth annual "report card." If that isn't silly enough, on the January 12 episode of NRA's live talk-radio show, NRANEWS.com, Brady spokesman Peter Hamm claimed Brady's grades are determined by a "secret" formula. There's no secret, though. Plain and simple, Brady gives the highest grades to the states that have the most "gun control." So, for example, the state of Maryland gets the highest grade (A-), even though it has the nation's second highest murder rate and highest robbery rate. But low-crime states with fewer restrictions on the rights of lawful gun owners, like Idaho, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Vermont get a "D" or "F." If anyone deserves a bad grade, the Brady Campaign does for failing "Civics 101." It reduced Ohio's grade from a "D+" to a "D-" because the state's Right-to-Carry law "forced police to issue CCW" permits! Well of course they did; that's called "democracy." Legislatures, representing the people, pass laws. That's what they do! The Brady Campaign also gets an "F" for failing math, claiming that "gun control" reduces crime. As noted in numerous studies, including recent ones from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and National Research Council, there is no evidence to support that claim. Basically, the Brady Campaign's "report card" is a superficial publicity stunt, perpetrated by an extremist anti-gun organization trying to attract attention to itself because it is fast on its way to becoming irrelevant. Name the issue, and the Brady Campaign is either losing the battle, or has lost the war. To wit: the right to arms is now widely recognized as an individual right. The federal "assault weapons" ban expired. The federal waiting period expired in favor of Instant Check. And NRA-PVF-supported candidates were even more successful than usual in the recent elections, while virtually all Brady-supported candidates for national office were defeated. While sitting in the corner, the folks at the Brady Campaign would do well to read the writing on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] "Republican" is not is not the end-all, A-O.K. label for the gun rights litmus test. It's a very good starting place. But there are some Republicans who are schmucks on the 2nd Ammendment just as there are some Democrats who are strong on it. [ QUOTE ] But, I guess when you get shot you lose all rational thought huh? [/ QUOTE ] The Kennedys are proof of that. However, most liberals who have never been shot that are not capeable of rational thought either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I assume by weak minded you mean uninformed on or refusing to admit to the facts, and not mentally handicapped. And I agree completely. You see the Hollywood left and academic elites supporting the leftist causes while you see grassroots, blue collar, Joe Average types supporting the NRA.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: ANOTHER DUNCE CAP FOR BRADY CAMPAIGN Wait a minute wtnhunt, I just re-read your post and now I think I get it! You're talking about the looneys from PETA that run around naked saying they won't wear fur, that spray paint people who do wear fur, that break into research facilities and release lab animals, that sort of thing. You may just be right about that part too - those folks do come across to me as being unhinged. I wonder if the left intentionally tries to recruit them because those are the only types that would try to pull off those stunts, or do those types just naturally tend to lean in that direction? I'll have to think about that some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to prey on the weak minded people who do not have a strong enough mind to see or find out about what they are supporting.
