In my opinion, based upon reading the applicable statutes, she did not break any law.

Gross hypocrite, yes. Criminal, no.

If Sarah Brady had heard that Charleton Heston had bought his adult son a rifle this way, Sarah Brady would be the first one yelling for him to be prosecuted. And, if any agency then said Heston hadn't done anything illegal, Sarah Brady would be the first one calling for a new law to make such a sale illegal.

Thanks for the enlightened post. A gift is not a sale.

Is this only applicable in DE?

I have to agree with this assessment of Sarah Brady and this situation.

Last night NRA President Wayne LaPierre was on FOX's Hannity and Colmes, talking about immigration policy and national ID proposals, and towards the end Hannity brought up this incident. Wayne looked mighty uncomfortable, and was very careful not to go anywhere with the insinuations that a crime had been committed, which was good. But when Hannity even soft-balled him a comment of how at the very least this was extremely hypocritical, Wayne didn't even agree to that, falling back into his well-rehearsed "We have to focus on the criminals" shtick.

All in all, WP's performance was terribly lame.
