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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
