Sarah Brady, Gun Criminal?

Move over, Rosie O'Donnell: The newest "celebrity" anti-gun hypocrite is Sarah Brady.

Mrs. Brady "bought her son a powerful rifle for Christmas in 2000 - and may have skirted Delaware state background-check requirements," the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

Some people will do anything to tell a book. No doubt to increase interest in what otherwise would be a boring memoir, the gun rights opponent writes that she bought James Brady Jr. a Remington .30-06, "complete with scope and safety lock," at a gun shop in Lewes, Del.

"I can't describe how I felt when I picked up that rifle, loaded it into my little car and drove home," she writes. "It seemed so incredibly strange: Sarah Brady, of all people, packing heat."

According to her book, the store ran federal Brady Law and state background checks with much ado. But the book suggests she did not have her son checked, as required by Delaware law.

Delaware Justice Department spokeswoman Lori Sitler said the purchase could be illegal if Mrs. Brady did not say who she was buying the gun for and submit his "name, rank and serial number" for an inquiry.

"You can't purchase a gun for someone else," Sitler told the Daily News. "That would be a 'straw purchase.' You've got a problem right there."

Gun rights advocates were surprised to hear of Mrs. Brady's antics.

"We hope that it's innocuous and there's been no laws violated," said James Jay Baker, chief lobbyist for National Rifle Association. "It's obviously interesting that Sarah would be purchasing firearms of any kind for anybody, given her championing of restrictive guns laws for everyone."

Seniors United Supporting the Second Amendment told NewsMax.com it was asking Delaware and the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate "what appears to be a criminal act" by Mrs. Brady.

"Sarah Brady is infamous for her radical anti-Second Amendment positions and her work to strip the citizens if the United States of their civil rights. She is the head of an extremist group that is working to gut the Bill of Rights," the group said in a statement.

"Sarah Brady is typical of the anti-civil rights radicals," noted John Bender, executive director of SUSSA. "She wants to ban private transfers of guns for everyone but her and her elitist friends. If a black mother in a Delaware public housing apartment did this she would already be charged with a crime. I’m wondering if Delaware has different enforcement standards for rich white women.”

The group concluded: "Sarah Brady is one of the leaders in the anti-civil rights movement’s attempt to make all private transfers of firearms illegal. Along with other extremists she pushed Congress to make this type of straw purchase illegal. Law enforcement should show her what her work has accomplished."

Mrs. Brady became a media-adored opponent of the Second Amendment after her husband, James, White House press secretary to President Ronald Reagan, was shot in a 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan.

Where I'm from the farmers are more than happy to let you use their crop-damage permits to take deer. While the deer are pests and do thousands of dollars of damage to crops, the farmers have no desire to kill them and let the meat go to waste....

[Abundy]

May I remind you that you are looking as silly to us as we are to you right now?

No, sillier...no one is picturing us wringing our hands, jumping up and down screaming about poor defenseless animals while wearing a leather coat, alligator boots and a fur muffler...

Repopulate a species which does well on its own? Perhaps some sub-species of wolves are in danger, but on the whole, wolves and coyote are doing quite well. I dont believe my eyes are the ones which need opening.

They just had a national geographic special on this..how they admit making the mistake and are trying desperately to bring them back. It won't be in your local paper. LOL!

IN fact hunters who hunt and can't use what they hunt often donate it to a group called FHFH (Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry). One guy (can't recall the name) ran across a woman who'd just hit a deer, he stopped to help and she asked him if he would help her put it in her trunk so they'd have something to eat. He felt bad that poor people were going around eating roadkill so started up FHFH.

[Sungirl]

Meetings and banquets...hahahhaha....yeah..that's where the truth lies...lol! I lived in hunting country.

One reason I dislike hunters....I hear stories like this ALL THE TIME. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Reuters) - A frustrated would-be deer hunter who failed to find his prey shot at penned-in domestic animals instead, killing a registered-breed Arabian horse and wounding a horse and dog, officials said on Thursday. ...

Pot-Kettle-Black...
Okay then let's play this Stupid, childish game.
Let's talk about the Headcases that go around bombing Colleges and other Test sites that use animals. Hmm they had the same outlook on animals as you!

So are you a Murderer, SG? Hmmm you are as close to the terrorists that bomb Schools and Research Centers as I am to the Idiot that shot that Horse. Actually you are probably a lot closer that you would like to admit.

Yeah, let's play this Game.
BTW it is illegal in the State That I live in to let your "pet" roam freely. And it is also legal to shoot Cats! Why, because they are known to kill for the enjoyment of it. And to think you own one! You have in fact contributed to the killing of innocent animals by your cat for the cat's enjoyment.

You're no better than Sara Brady. Preach one set of rules for the serfs, but you live under a different set.

You run with a Great Bunch SG.

Just realized, 145 posts and it hasn't been said yet...

A moose bit my sister once...

[Sungirl]

IN fact it's pretty much illegal not to use the animals you take.

ANd this proves what? That the law out there in the woods is followed?? HAha
Hey...did you ever in your life drink alcohol and go hunting? Don't lie now....

[Terriergal]

BTW if you read the hunting regulations booklet in pretty much every state it's illegal to use a car to harvest deer.

Also illegal to use artificial lights. Hunting regulations are based on fair chase. People who don't adhere to fair chase are just killers of animals, not hunters. Of course, there may be a greater population of animal killers in a place like New York where the Lefties have so much sway.

[Terriergal]

So because some people don't obey the law does that mean those who do shouldn't participate in the activity?

[Sungirl]

The ONLY reason we don't have to do it out of necessity is because we raise domestic animals for slaughter.

OH!! So you are talking about a registered farm? That's different. Hunters cannot enter your legally licensed farm and kill your registered cows can they? Do you let them?

[Terriergal]

Nope never hunted under the influence. In fact I don't drink often, and usually in the safety of my own home with my own husband when the kids are safe in bed, is where I'll ever consume enough to get me tipsy.

[Abundy]

Have at it fellas...

[Sungirl]

You are missing the point. Hunters eat what they kill for "sport."

Eww...crows..racoons...beaver...owls....birds....cougars.....cyotes....wild dogs.....CATS....rats.....snakes......squirrels?
WOw....you have some diet.

[Terriergal]

Now, do you see what i mean? You are complaining about the actions of an agent of the state and, by some bizarre leap of "logic" comparing all hunters to this person

Yeah I noticed that too. But I'm afraid we're overloading her cicruits... it's all coming back "does not compute."

[Area51]

Um...animals kill their food because they don't know any better and have to do it to survive. To them its necessity...NOw hunters on the other hand??? IS this too difficult?

Are you really that dense? Are you actually trying to tell ANYONE that that cat of yours kills for food, when you let it roam? Hahahahaha Yeah, right. That is why when you let it in it goes directly to the food dish.

I see you flunked Natures Predators class 101. Maybe you were busy thinking about those research centers. :)

Eww...crows..racoons...beaver...owls....birds....cougars.....cyotes....wild dogs.....CATS....rats.....snakes......squirrels? WOw....you have some diet.

Gopher, Everett?

[Sungirl]

some bizarre leap of "logic" comparing all hunters to this person. Where do you get off doing this? OH I see what I forgot. The guys that did this were DEDICATED HUNTERS who took off every year for 2 weeks to go deer hunting. THe one was my bosses husband.
