I went to the Brady Campaign's website, to see what they though of the steady gains made by our side, and on the CSU gun ban, nothing but....




Crickets... But, they still have a big problem with Starbucks!

The Brady Campaign, has chosen to stick their collective heads in the sand, and continue as if they are still winning (like 1993) and have gone on to other issues..They are not interested in defending their rules, once they are passed. In a way, their are like the stupid neighbor that insists on spending money on an elaborate backyard pool, when their house is falling in.

With the steady march of gun rights in the vast majority of the nation, and their focus on Starbucks.

But, it seems like over the next couple of weeks, their will be a push to close the non-existent gun show loophole, at the Federal level. We must stop this from even being considered. We are in enough trouble in November without pissing off MILLIONS OF VOTING GUN OWNERS too.

To even attempt to pass the ban, will reinforce the NRA mantra that Dems want to "take your guns"

And we will loose the good will Obama has brought us on this issue, by making it a NON issue, and actually signing pro-gun legislation, unlike Bush.

with the "NRA mantra Dems want to "take your guns". Have a link or provable statement to back that up? I'm NOT calling you out by any means, just not sure where you got your info.

See this thread for a Dem Governor who has an NRA "A" rating.

In 2003, Richardson backed and signed legislation creating a permit system for New Mexicans to carry concealed handguns. He applied for and received a concealed weapons permit, though by his own admission he seldom carries a gun.<28>

K&R!

If they can get Starbucks to knuckle under, the McDonalds, Burger King, etc are next. If they can get enough national chains to ban guns, then it will look like guns are a loser.

...Oh, wait, that's the gay marriage slippery slope, my bad

... unless you enjoy your downhill runs?

at a Burger King and one of the witnesses says, "I have a concealed carry permit and might have been able to stop the incident. But I had to leave it in the car because Burger King has a rule against firearms."

And why none of the big chains have "No Guns" signs.

Now we just need Vermont/Arizona style carry

I mean the bureaucrats, from throwing "I'M RELEVANT!!!" fits.

Soon only the most strident gun-haters with utopian dreams where sheep live peacefully with wolves will be left opposing the natural, inherent, inalienable/unalienable right to self-defense.

If We the People let corporatist force us to pay so mega corporations don't die through bankruptcy then we must insist that every individual has a right to self-defense because government is not obligated to protect an individual against criminals.

Any government that believes they "give" rights can also take them away.

Another version

Priests anointed them with oil proclaiming the divine right of kings -- as long as kings supported the state religion and promised to keep the church coffers full with coins taken from the starving peasants.

An incestuous relationship between two forces joined to screw We the People.
