Tell Us Something We Don't Know

A recent study tells us the “Brady Gun Law” has done LITTLE to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. NO kidding; we told ya so. The Hill, a DC newspaper, says, “2 million gun sales have been stopped by the Brady Law,” but that’s a lie. Those sales were stopped by CURRENT law, NOT the Brady Law, because the would-be gun buyers were FELONS, who are ALREADY banned from buying, or owning guns. These figures, as is usual when gun-haters put out numbers, are wildly exaggerated or plainly FALSE. It was noted that murders and gun assaults went down since its passage, but it ignores the fact that other kinds of murders have ALSO gone down. Such deaths went down everywhere, even in states that did not have registration requirements before Brady. So Brady is riding a wave of lowering gun deaths, and claiming credit for it.
