The Brady Campaign to prevent gun facts
On our local AM 600 radio this morning the discussion was about the recent shooting in Colorado where the CCW holder stopped a criminal with a gun. The host had Paul Helmke as a guest, who is the president of the Brady Campaign. There was the usual trite bit about how the Brady group wants "sensible gun control", and typical misinformation about (so called) "assault weapons", and once again confusion in calling the feeding device on an AK clone a "clip" instead of the proper term "magazine" (if they could get this right it at least would bolster their credibility), but there was one line that really took the cake. This is a direct quote from the interview:
"Basically we don't have any gun control laws in this country."
Is this guy from another planet or just high as a kite? According to the Brookings Institute, the US has approximately “300 major state and federal laws and an unknown but shrinking number of local laws.” This is hardly the none proclaimed by the head of the Brady campaign. But honesty has never been their best policy.
