Joan Peterson writes, "Rights of gun owners will be placed right along side of the rights of Americans to be safe from senseless shootings."
You have zero rights "to be safe from senseless shootings" or be safe from someone beating you with a baseball bat, or be safe from someone cutting your liver out with a sharpened credit card.
What you can reasonably expect is such criminals will be punished by our legal system.
Peterson thinking is so scrambled that I don't think she even understands the concept of a right but this time I think she said something refreshingly honest and almost profoundly revealing. She wants people to have same right to own a firearm as "to be safe from senseless shootings". That is saying she wants you to have no right to own a firearm.
Thank you Brady Campaign Board Member Joan Peterson for finally saying what we have long claimed and you and your organization have long denied.
Update: Mostly off topic but I left the following comment on her post. I post it here out of fear she will not allow it to be seen on her blog.
Last September at the Gun Blogger Rendezvous I spent many hours talking to Paul Barrett and have continued discussions with him via email since. And he will be attending a shooting event I am hosting in April. He readily admits he is a novice in the field of firearms and still has a lot to learn.
He has also agreed with me with there is no data to indicate a legal limit on the capacity of firearm magazines would result in a net increase in safety of the public. And even in his book he states that efforts to pass such a law would fail and would hence be a waste of time and effort.
