Got this in an email. I signed up to see what they were saying and hoping against hope that they would send be something in the mail with a postage paid envelope.

U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Second Amendment Case
We need your help to defend America's gun laws
Dear Michael,

Just minutes ago, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to take what could be the most significant Second Amendment case in our country's history.

Thanks to your support, your Brady legal team had already begun preparing for this announcement, but now our lawyers have swung into high gear to prepare our "friend of the court" brief.

We have a tidal wave of work to do in the weeks ahead and we need your help now.

This fight is so critical that we need to raise $50,000 by November 30. And since your gift will be going to our Brady Gun Law Defense Fund, it will be fully tax deductible!

We need your help today to build a strong Brady Gun Law Defense Fund to protect America’s gun laws. Please give today.

Earlier this year, a U.S. Court of Appeals struck down a gun law as violating the Second Amendment for the first time in American history. We believe this decision was judicial activism at its worst and was clearly wrong.

This legal case at its very core is the most important battle we have ever waged. The U.S. Supreme Court has the chance to reverse a terribly erroneous decision and make it clear that the American people can adopt restrictions on firearms in their communities.

If the Supreme Court does not reverse the federal appeals court decision, gun laws everywhere could be at risk…

…from the long-standing machine gun ban…to the 1968 Gun Control Act…to the Brady background check law.

…to your local and state laws…like the ones in California and New Jersey banning military-style Assault Weapons… and many more.

If that happens, then your Brady Center will defend these laws in the courts as we have done so many times in the past against the attacks of the gun lobby. But now we must focus on the immediate challenge at hand as we prepare for the fight in the U.S. Supreme Court. Please give generously.

Sincerely,

Sarah Brady, Chair

P.S. I cannot stress how important your gift is to our Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Please give a tax-deductible gift today.

It makes me roll my eyes that they always have a paragraph that leads up to a request for a contribution.

 

[Robert Hairless]

Yeah. Could be that's why the NRA asks for money to fight them. Not that it's any of our concern.

tax deductible?
Am I correct? I thought donations to NRA are NOT tax-deductible?

 

[bensdad]

I think donations made directly to the ILA are tax deductible.

 

[joffe]

Donations to organizations that affect the political process are not tax-deductible - donations to those that are 'educational' (i.e. political activists) are.

Could we be so lucky that, for once, the Brady Campaign is 100% correct and that a favorable decision will cause all of the "concerns" laid out in the letter to come to fruition?

One could only hope.
