Bellevue v. Brady Bunch on Monday in Washington, D.C.
Seattle Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 3 August, 2011 | Dave Workman

The Bellevue-based Second Amendment Foundation is hosting a forum next Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. and a highlight of the event – which is held in cooperation with Students for Concealed Carry on Campus – will be a debate between Colin Goddard with the Brady Campaign and economist John Lott, author of More Guns = Less Crime.

SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb will be there, along with attorney Alan Gura, who successfully argued both of this century’s landmark Second Amendment cases before the Supreme Court, District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago, the latter being a SAF case. Joining them will be SCCC President Dan Crocker.

The debate between Lott and Goddard probably could not come at a worse time for the Brady Bunch, primarily because of last weekend’s two-part series in the Detroit Free Press – discussed by this column – that looked at the state of concealed carry in Michigan ten years after that state’s legislature reformed and improved the state’s concealed carry statute. Those stories included some devastating information for the gun prohibition lobby, including indications that so-called “research” by gun banners, primarily the Violence Policy Center, is rather questionable.

Pretty much. Liberals have no rational basis on which to base an argument. That doesn’t mean they don’t like guns. Thats a myth. Liberals have no problems with their guns just yours. They have no problem using them as long as it promotes their agenda.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Thomas Jefferson
