Fear is temporary, greed is permanent.
They didn't? The first sentence is awfully close to that, something about being right out of the NRA's playbook.
BALD-FACED, Communist-scale LIES!
He started his schtick in 1994 with Michael Kennedy who ended up killing himself in Colorado trying to play football while skiing and ended up crashing into a tree.
Oh well, at least it wasn't illegal street drugs that killed him like other Kennedy family members, because that's what's really fueling urban inner-city violence: The illicit drug trade.
His outfit doesn't consist of any other persons than himself, just like Josh Sugarmann's 'Violence Policy Center' in Washington DC that's often prompted for commentary by national print media. We went to see this 'Violence Policy Center' in DC once at their listed address wondering if there was anything resembling a 'center' -- a law policy advocate office with a real staff.
What we found was a door to an office the size of a broom closet in a building that contained US Green Party HQ, a lobby with a bunch of mailboxes, and nothing else. Nobody answered, the door was locked. The sign on the door looked like it was from the 1980s. I bet nothing was inside but janitorial cleaning supplies.
I'm sure that the mailbox was the only thing actively used when Josh Sugarmann has some flunky swing by every few weeks to pick up whatever $25 checks people occasionally send him.
It's basically like calling yourself 'The Institute For Global Peace Studies' and putting out ads in magazines and newspapers with your mailing address on it announcing "Last chance to send $5 now! Include your self-addressed stamped envelope!" and just sitting back and awaiting $5 bills to trickle in from eccentric people who read your ad. You send them back a few pages of gobbledygook in the form of a newsletter hoping to get more money out of them for as long as they're willing to continue sending it. It's an old grifter trick from the 1930s.
It opens with a lie, that is all you need to know, “and the unregulated gun industry”. What a joke to suggest that. What other products (protected as a constitutional right to own) do you have to fill out a federal form and ask the permission of the government to buy ? I will tell you what is unregulated, the liberal media and its abuse of the First Amendment in attacking other constitutional rights.
