Hard Times for Gun Control Group?


(CNSNews.com) - The post-Sept. 11 climate has been good for gun sales and bad for gun control groups. In a letter to supporters, Sarah Brady of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence says, "Regretfully...we have been forced to make significant cutbacks in our programs, threatening our ability to fight for a safer America." She said a "forced downsizing and restructuring" has forced the group lay off about 20 percent of its staff. The letter goes on to solicit funds, and it says a generous donor has agreed to partially match contributions received in the next 30 days. As a further inducement to would-be donors, the Brady Campaign says, "There is compelling evidence that terrorists are stockpiling high-powered weapons and ammunition obtained from unregulated gun markets in this country, such as gun shows." Gun rights groups scoff at such claims. Press reports on Friday said gun sales are skyrocketing in areas affected by the Sept. 11 attacks. Scroll News This Hour for Details and See Earlier Story

< sarcasm > Oh, how the kind and thoughtful lady selflessly parades her brain-damaged husband around to make the country a safer place....for the children. < /sarscasm >

Well, lets see....Wheeling around her husband didn't help and, at least I hope, people have gotten sick and tired of everything being "for the children" so now it's the midle eastern terrorists hanging out at the gun shows, stockpiling high powered guns and ammo. Some people know no shame.

Sarah Brady really needs to give Timmy a break.

Let me grab a tissue, you mean they have had to lay off 20% of their parasites? ...sniff..pfooot. I thought surely they had managed to scam enough profits from the public during their rip off of the John Lennon concert for the victims of WTC to survive.

This too is on the internet - if Morris Dees rspected the principle of innocent til proven guilty I would extend him the same, but he doesn't. So:

That's Sleeze Dees on the right, alright. They did a TV special on him, a while back now. I can't remember the name of the actor who played the part. He was on LA Law, played the scummy blond divorce lawyer who was always jumping into bed with his female clients. Basically good casting choice for the Dees part. Looked like him too.
