Brady Bunch Against State’s Rights?
Does it sound like the Brady Center Against Gun Violence really wants reasonable gun laws? It certainly doesn’t seem that way to us, as the group is now going after states that it disagrees with, reports The Great Falls Tribune:
“The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence filed written arguments in U.S. District Court in Missoula, asking that the Montana Firearms Freedom Act be struck down as unconstitutional. Among the groups joining the Brady Center were Montanans Against Gun Violence, the Montana Human Rights Network and the International Brotherhood of Police Officers.”
This is extremely worrisome to us. The law was passed in Montana but the Brady Bunch is making this a District Court matter. So much for state’s rights!
Huff Post Writer Sees Irony but Misses Real Irony
Is this guy for real? Author Dennis A. Henigan, who is also Vice President for the Brady Center, and an established anti-gun author/zealot claims in a piece for The Huffington Post that some states on the verge of secession for their gun laws, yet never sees the irony of other anti-gun zealots over reaching beyond what might be considered reasonable.
Case in point, Henigan calls out two states:
“I refer to the extraordinary legislation passed into law by the states of Montana and Tennessee declaring that guns or ammunition manufactured and retained entirely within the borders of those states are “not subject to federal law.” Apparently, similar legislation has been introduced in Texas, Alaska, Minnesota, South Carolina, Florida, Arizona and Colorado.”
So I ask Henigan whether he sees any problems with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg trying to change the laws in Virginia and Ohio? Well, Denny, what’s the difference?
