We're from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and we're not here to confiscate your weapons.
To the above statement, many gun owners no doubt are muttering, "Yeah, right." And worse.
Their doubts and cynicism are understandable. After all, for decades the NRA and other gun interests have fed them the fiction that adopting any gun regulation, no matter how modest or worthwhile, will start a slide to the bottom of that imaginary slippery slope where manufacture, sale and possession of all firearms is banned. |

| check the history of gun control advocates. nearly all of them "behind the scenes" say the only way to get rid of guns completely is nibble away a little at a time. as far as this old man is concerned NO MORE compromise. |

Brady Campaign is a confirmed fail. Anti-gun groups lie. The NRA is easy to attack, mindless attacks as they are. The movement is about banning all firearms, they've admitted it.
Laws and checks do not work because only law-abiding people can be checked! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
