It’s a shameful law. The gun lobby is determined to force guns into every corner of our society. That does not make us safer.

South Florida cities, counties forced to scrap gun laws — NRA-backed state law forbids local regulation of firearms
[The law is not shameful. It’s shameful that Henigan’s organization even exists.
Henigan has it exactly backward. The “gun lobby” is slowly reducing the force that was determined to remove guns from every corner of our society. The only thing the “gun lobby” is forcing is for governments to stop using force against people who exercise constitutionally protected rights. It’s no different than repealing laws prohibited blacks from voting and it’s time for Henigan to face the music and shut down his organization. We need to move past this shameful chapter in our history and closing down the Brady Campaign would be a major step in the right direction.—Joe]
It’s sad, and yet amazing, that the brain cells needed to produce such a line of crap are still available to this poor sad-sack of a human-being. I find it hard to believe that such a person can produce this kind of drivel without shame – at least without an insane giggle attached to it.
BTW, this is my first time commenting, and I really enjoy your blog!
Thank for visiting and commenting!
What? You mean the NRA is NOT sending truckloads of guns down every street in Anytown, USA, and forcing people to take the guns?
“Sorry, Ma’m. It’s the law– you MUST accept these guns or you’ll be in violation. Now; how many people live here. Three? OK, that’s one assault rifle, one auto pistol and one deadly assault shotgun per person, so that’s nine weapons and nine thousand rounds of ammunition. Sign here…”
