• Christmas Cheer from the Brady Campaign

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  The Brady Campaign notes that if you bring a gun on an Amtrak train, clearly you are going to die. And we're the ones who are paranoid and hysterical? I mean, in a way I have to give them kudos for a sense of humor, and definitely an A for' [...]

• When Talking Points Collide

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Sometimes talking points collide over at the Brady Campaign. They must appear like the moderate group that's not actually trying to ban guns anymore while also jumping on board with just about every idea someone can frame as gun control. Every once in a while, those two efforts ... [...]

• Harry Reid’s Opponent Once Had Brady Endorsement

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Apparently Tarkanian, who is one of the leading candidates for the GOP nod in Nevada, was once endorsed by the Brady Campaign. He's denying this of course, and saying that it was part of a dirty campaign tactic meant to discredit him, since "a Brady call in Nevada is not" [...]

• Caleb and Henigan

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Follow the link here to see Caleb's performance, which I thought was pretty good. We know the talking points now for the Brady Campaign, which is that these databases being public is important to be able to weed out people who were erroneously granted permits despite criminals records. Let me [...]

• Brady Gambit Working

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  You will notice now that the Brady Campaign no longer gives states grades, and have rather decided just to rank order them. This is likely because they've only had real success in a small handful of states. By rank ordering, it can make it seem like the gun control movement' [...]

• Brady Flip-Flop?

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Paul Helmke a few months ago: Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said he "doesn't have problems with people transporting guns on trains so long as steps are taken to make sure they're secured and properly stowed." Paul Helmke yesterday: "It is dangerous for Congress to dictate to" [...]

• Stench of Desperation

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  It seems like the Brady camp is getting desperate. They've seen Democrats pass pro-gun legislation, Obama silently sign a carry law, Blue Dogs putting the brakes on a progressive agenda over gun rights, and generally not been able to advance their cause even though their favored party and stalwarts ...'

• Bob Ricker is Dead

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  The Brady Campaign is reporting that Bob Ricker is dead. The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has more on who Bob Ricker was. He was famous around these parts for the oft-used quote "self-defense whacks" which appeared on Bitter's blog before she changed her blogging topic. She also had a [...]

• Gaming the System

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  I suppose I should have realized that the real reason Dennis Henigan was crying into his Hennigan's over the fact that a few mean pro-gun folks had decided to game his book ratings on Amazon down was because it interfered with the Brady Bunch plans to game his book ratings [...]

• Dennis Henigan Discovers the Grassroots

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  A very honest admission from Dennis Henigan, VP with Brady Center, about the difference between our two communities. He's speaking of his book, Lethal Logic: Exploding the Myths That Paralyze American Gun Policy: Third, the “hogwash” votes reflect not only motivation, but organization as well. It is fascinating to me that [...]

• Back in the Gun Control Saddle

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Looks like Richard Aborn is back in the gun control issue after being handed a "humiliating man-beating" on election day. For those who don't know, Richard Aborn was president of Handgun Control Inc. (which would later become the Brady organizations) during their glory days when they were actually achieving something' [...]

• Brady Act Turns Sixteen

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  The Brady Campaign is celebrating 16 years of the Brady Act. I think it would indeed be a good time to reflect on the Brady Act. The fight for the Brady Act was longer than most people today realize. The first Brady Bill was introduced in Congress in February of [...]

  One of the organizations who signed onto the Brady Brief in McDonald is one I hadn't heard of before, which is the International Brotherhood of Police Officers. If you click on the link, you will see who they are affiliated with. Surprised? Related posts:Just Print Brady Press ReleasesIs NRA Anti-Cop?Dear Governor' [...]

• Looking at the Brady Brief

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence brief was put online today, and can be read here. Joe Huffman already notes a serious contradiction within its fundamental argument. There are a few things that stood out to me as well.  Note that my criticisms here are a layman's criticism, and [...]

• Not Hiding the Agenda too Well

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Joe Huffman reports that the Bradys' allies aren't going a great job of hiding their overall goals. This is one reason MAIG scares the crap out of me. They don't carry any of this baggage of the Ghost of Gun Control Past. They are a post-Heller group in both their' [...]

  —Philebrity

  Number of comments: 2
  Fact: Almost no one cares about the Dad Vail Regatta, and the people that do seem to mostly agree that it should remain in Philly, on the Schuylkill, where it has been since all the way back when the Catholic mass was still in Latin. Mayor Nutter, as it happens, [...]

• Another Brady “Cop Killer” Gun

  —Snowflakes in Hell

  Looks like Kel-Tec is making a semi-auto pistol in .22 Magnum. Of course, this fairly common and 50 year old rimfire caliber isn't generally thought of as an armor piercing, but it's performance is very close to the 5.7mm round fired by the much maligned FN Five-Seven. Will the gun' [...]
