Brady Campaign Desperate

[javacodeman]

Your gift will be fully tax deductible.

That's a travesty.

I guess they'll do anything to win this battle or try to even by lyeing.

The Brady Campaign lie? Say it ain't so!!

 

[Fulcrum of Evil]

I'm really, really, really sick of lefties and righties both saying that whenever a judge makes a decision they disagree with it's "judicial activism."

Thanks. I'm really tired of people throwing around the term Liberal when describing someone who disagrees with them.

I wonder if there is a way to request Brady material to be mailed to you?? Or mailed to other gun enthusiasts - with the expectation that it goes directly to the circular file.

Or to the Boston PD with the expectation that they blow it up and sue someone.

Washington D.C.’s long-standing restrictions on handguns
no-new-registrations of handguns since 1976--a de facto ban
A BAN, not control.

And that works so well in DC - no guns east of union station, no sir, and the green line is safe as houses.

It would be so sweet to pick up a new HK MP5 with out having a line of credit.

It's not nice to tease like that...

Did the Brady Bunch just randomly send these letters out or something? I'd love to get one and send them a "donation" of 155 pennies. About time we go on the offensive for a change!

Why is this ruling so radical? Because the decision defies almost 70 years of legal precedent.

Funny that the United States took 150 years to start controlling private ownership of guns after especially fighting an armed insurrection in the middle of that 150 years that cost 600,000 + American lives. Maybe even the politicians understood the ideals behind the 2nd amendment that it took 150 years of forgetting and creative thinking to come up with a NEW DEAL.

I just now started reading these gun forums because I bought a pistol for recreation. Then another. Now I have a russian automatic shotgun (saiga 12) that is considered evil in some more civilized states than Georgia. Really my life is that of a well to do suburbanite and I really do not have fear or feel threatened with crime or government BUT being armed does give me a sense of empowerment and self control. Given that new awareness I think I fully understand what the 2nd amendment means. They did not frame our social contract to produce sheep but shepherds ready to defend the flock. If evil comes knocking at my door those long ago dead rebels gave me the option at least to defend myself with more than a tree limb. Pretty cool huh?

If that's done then Brady has to spend money on the materials, literature, brochures, paperwork, postage, someone to stuff the envelopes.
It might not be much but every dollar spent there isn't spent doing useful lobbying or hiring lawyers. And get a few thousand doing that.
Hmmmm....

"Make the Bradys waste their money by sending propoganda to US, and making them cash one-cent checks? BRILLIANT!!!!!"

+1 on the question of why donations to the Brady Bunch are tax deducatable!

Then again, aren't contributions to...SAF, or is it GOA - one of them, ALSO tax deductable?

 

[Liberal Gun Nut]

Dude they're not going to deposit 1-cent checks. They will send them back or drop them in the trash or whatever because, as you point out, it costs more than one cent to process a check.

I would say, leave them alone. Instead of wasting effort against them, spend time and money for someone else, like the NRA.

 

[Axman]

Would it be appropriate to send them a box of dog or cow poop with $1.55 in pennies enclosed with it?

 

[AntiqueCollector]

I still think anyone who gets a postage paid envelope from them should send a chunk of lead... I wish they'd send me one...

 

[Sodbuster]

The threat to all our gun laws is truly unprecedented. The hypocrisy of the ruling is astounding.

The Brady Bunch needs to substitute "Second Amendment of the US Constitution" for "gun laws," then go look in a mirror, and see who the real hypocrites are.

This fight is so critical to the safety and sanity of our nation

Wow, if we judge by the safety record of DC the fight is really critical. I will be sending money ASAP to Cato and the NRA.

As to sanity, there are no more insane laws than the ones in DC. Overthere, they even surpassed the former Soviet Union.

 

[Carl N. Brown]

Lets face it people, if the NRA or GOA or SOF were behind
the lawsuit it would be politically DOA. Because it is lawyer
Levy on his own dime for Cato, the media will have to look
at the message rather than shoot the messenger.

And this is not like Miller 1939 (Miller was a bootlegger who
carried an unregistered sawn-off shotgun across state lines
apparently in support of his bootlegging acrtivity, he died before
the case receached the supreme court, his lawyer did not
agrue before the court, and one justice--Reynolds--wrote
the decision after hearing only the government's attorney.)
The folks in this case are squeaky clean, alive and have
representation.

You make a very valid point about the lack of gun control passed, for WHITES, after the Civil War (or as you probably prefer, The War of Rebellion or War of Northern Aggresssion, take your pick).

No intention of getting racial here. But, the idea that you had many hunderds of thousands of recently paroled ex-Confederates, free to keep and bear arms, tells you something about how society viewed the 2A and its relationship with society back then. Now, because some in 21st century society think guns shouldn't be allowed, decide to "judicially activate" a new meaning for the 2A.

 

[BADUNAME13]

Don't give to the 'compromisers' at the NRA.
Give to someone who will STAND UP like JPFO and GOA.

Careful.

That's kind of a "no true Scotsman" argument.

I contribute to EVERY pro-gun organization that has any clout.

If I had to wait for "true Scotsman" purity in any of those organizations I'd never contribute at all.

If you want an organization that doesn't compromise, you want the Brady campaign.

Brady doesn't want to compromise. They want it all. They don't want you to have ANY guns.

I, on the other hand, want every flawed pro-gun organization I can find to have the funding to fight them.

And then, since I'm a PAID MEMBER, I can write to them and gripe about their compromises, and encourage them to fight harder.
