The Washington, DC, police chief described Wednesday’s active shooter call as “bogus,” but the Brady Campaign–and campaign president Kris Brown–are using it to push gun control anyway.

The call police received was of an active shooter near Senate office buildings.

NBC News quoted DC police chief Thomas Manger reacting to the reports of a shooter, saying, “We found no confirmation that there was an active shooter, and that this may have been a bogus call.”

This Kris Brown is a total piece of crap

hmm, wonder of the Brady Campaign was responsible for the bogus call.

Oh yes, again, the “BUT ITS STILL AN IMPORTANT TOPIC TO ADDRESS” chastisement. Usually reserved for fake “hate” crimes, but can be utilized for any issue.

Fake but accurate?

Always remember, The Brady Campaign started as Handgun Control Inc.(HCI)by Nelson “Pete” Shields. And here is what he demanded back in 1976 when he “ONLY” wanted to ban handguns. Now that group is also demanding a ban on semi-auto rifles.

From 1976.

Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.

Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.

So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.

My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”

-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58

“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview

HCI, around 1984, suddenly made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed But they showed their hand. As a result all gun owners know we are always up against a stacked deck.

These pig fornicators claim that there's a tsunami of support for the repeal of the 2nd Amendment. If that's true it shouldn't take much more than 3 months to get it done.
