I can't believe Sarah Brady can make some of her statements with a straight face. She actually had the nerve to try to claim the Brady Campaign isn't really anti-gun at all. In a new book called Why We'll Win (in which I also have an essay), she writes:
"The fact is that this debate isn't about guns at all. It's about how we as a society relate to guns. It's about how we buy them, sell them, store them and use them. When we talk about gun control, what we're really talking about are ways to encourage people to behave differently around guns."
How we relate to guns? Ways of "encouraging" people? Baloney.
The Brady Campaign has never met a gun-control law it doesn't like. It has supported every gun ban, restriction, waiting period, registration or licensing requirement, tax, fee and condemnation imaginable. It won't even go on the record as being opposed to a blanket ban on firearm ownership, like the D.C. gun ban.
At the end of the day, the Brady Campaign "wins" by taking away your rights. The NRA "wins" by protecting them. And ultimately, I believe that's why we'll win more battles than we lose.
Let us hope that those who strive to preserve our freedoms have more fire in their bellies than those working to take them away.
