The Brady Campaign's Playbook

From Alan Korwin, by way of the War On Guns (click on it to the left there) blog spot, has a great article out listing most of the Brady Campaign's hopes for the coming 4 years. They are practically salivating over what they expect will be the biggest victory for the gun grabbers since the 68 GCA. Kind of puts the lie to all the articles claiming that gun owners were being paranoid, doesn't it?

As each new law is passed, lawful gun owners are asked to give up just a little of their natural rights in order to make the world vastly safer. Each time, the world is not made even one whit safer, which spawns the next round. Each round is only a good first step.

What must be understood is that guns are not the problem. They are never the problem. The problem is the wicked hearts of the criminal class, who use guns because they are an effective tool in subduing and controlling their victims. Any approach that seeks to control the tools, but not the criminal will be doomed to failure, as the 20,000 gun laws already on the books can attest. Any approach that seeks to control criminal behavior by placing prior restraints on the law abiding is also doomed to failure because criminals, by definition, do not obey laws. It would be like duct taping every persons mouth who came into the theater just in case one of them might yell fire.

Of course you should join the NRA, join you local gun rights group, write your Congressman and Senators. We must take all steps necessary to prevent this from becoming a complete route. The Brady's will be doing everything necessary to ensure these laws pass.
