Brady, eh?
"Our main agenda is to have all guns banned. We must use whatever means possible. It doesn't matter if you have to distort the facts or even lie. Our task of creating a socialist America can only succeed when those who would resist us have been totally disarmed."
Sara BradyChairman, Handgun Control Inc, to Senator Howard Metzenbaum

Only two types want the guns, and both are criminal gangs

No disrespect meant but when someone has been through a tremendous trauma like Sarah Brady, then they most often speak of what they want and not about what is good for the country. It was proper to have sympathy for her but she had no knowledge of what her agenda would do to harm and kill so many others in the country.

James, as you've been told before that "quote" is a complete fabrication. You're on the right side in this matter, as are most other contributors to this thread, but you devalue your case and actually do it harm when you support your argument with stuff that's just made up.

Here is a suggestion for you... crawl under your bed and hide. More and more Americans are exercising their right to keep and bear arms.
Last year, even with the pandemic restrictions, I taught 30 defensive handgun classes and a number of rifle and shotgun classes. The shooters were architects, ranchers, school teachers and administrators, chaplains, pastors, construction workers, military personnel, housewives, cops, and everything in between. They all had one thing in common... an awareness that when you are facing an imminent threat of death and seconds count, the police are only minutes away. They have all accepted the responsibility of ensuring their own safety and the safety of their loved ones instead of depending on the state to protect them.
You have got a lot of nerve calling them weak and cowardly. They are just the opposite. They are the ones who have taken the initiative instead of living in fear and praying there will be someone there to protect them when they need it.

Thank you.
I'd love to have you in one of my classes. People who take their own defense seriously and take the time and effort to get properly trained to do so are a better class of people than those who just sit around wringing their hands and hoping someone else will risk their own lives to come help them when the need arises.
