Brady brief in McDonald v. Chicago

The View From North Central Idaho (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009

I just finished a quick reading of the Brady brief in McDonald v. Chicago . The short answer as to the question, "What are the up to?" is: This Court should conclude that regulations of firearms are not subject to strict scrutiny, but instead are subject to a deferential, reasonableness standard of review. They have apparently concluded McDonald et. al. will win and are trying to...

Mayor Bloomberg is an idiot

This Ain't Hell (Free subscription) | 11/27/2009

I just read this, which I saw in the HotAir Headlines. First off, like the Brady Campaign before him, Bloomberg tries to use the Fort Hood shooting to illustrate some point about gun control. During the Clinton administration, the FBI had access to records of gun background checks for up to 180 days. But in [...]

It’s Never the Person, Is It?

Constant Conservative (Free subscription) | 11/26/2009

When will people realize that things are not to blame for people taking matters into their own hands and committing crimes against other persons? Bob Owens goes technical on the Fort Hood murders: The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, Violence Policy Center, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Freedom States Alliance, Legal Community Against Violence, States United [...]

Background Check Issues

Snowflakes in Hell (Free subscription) | 11/25/2009

Utah is warning that it needs more funding for its state background check system or “it could be forced to cut off all background checks next year unless lawmakers prop up its anemic budget.” The problem with this is you have a constitutional right hinging on the smooth operation of the system. I can’t think [...] Related posts: Study on Gun Death Rate and Background Checks Brady...

What they really want

The View From North Central Idaho (Free subscription) | 11/23/2009

I find it interesting that pro-gun people have heated internal debates about the NRA being "too soft" or GOA being ineffective, etc. It turns out the anti-gun people have the similar problems. Dennis Henigan from The Brady Campaign, devotes an entire chapter (Chapter 3: "But What You Really Want ...") in his book Lethal Logic . In part he complains the VPC (see pages...

New Legislation Being Introduced Tomorrow?

Snowflakes in Hell (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009

Looks that way to me: Fresh off landing an endorsement from an erstwhile liberal holdout and foe, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is scheduled to appear tomorrow with another former House colleague and onetime political opponent, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy. Gillibrand is to join the Long Island congresswoman, Mayor Bloomberg, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, the Brady Campaign [...]...

What they really want

SayUncle (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009

Joe wonders what the anti-gunners are up to and discusses the Brady Campaign’s failed efforts at appearing moderate. It is interesting the about face they are making. Some even think they’re conceding defeat now because they know it’s coming. And, this way, they can appear moderate in the future instead of being perceived as [...]
