Today is a time to celebrate. After decades of being on the defensive and reminding the country that the Bill of Rights is about individual rights, the Supreme Court has defined the 'people' of the Second Amendment the same as the every other amendment. And, after years of being told they support unconstitutional proposals, the Brady Campaign finally got slapped by the group that really counts - the Supreme Court. Instead of pausing to contemplate the real meanings in the ruling, the Brady Campaign is already declaring victory despite being at the birth of their largest defeat in history. Their acknowledged end desire is forever out of reach. According to Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign: If the Supreme Court strikes down the D.C. gun ban, the Brady Campaign is hoping that it will reorient gun control groups around more limited measures that will be harder to cast as infringements of the Second Amendment. "The NRA [National Rifle Association] won't have this fear factor," Helmke said. Brady Campaign Attorney Dennis Henigan said there are multiple gun control measures that would not run afoul of a Supreme Court decision striking down the D.C. gun ban. "Universal background checks don't affect the right of self-defense in the home. Banning a super dangerous class of weapons, like assault weapons, also would not adversely affect the right of self-defense in the home," said Henigan. "Curbing large volume sales doesn't affect self-defense in the home." In other words, Helmke wants the NRA to back off their fight against gun control because the NRA won't fear complete bans on firearms. Isn't that the cutest little thing. Poor Paul is dillusional. On the day of our greatest victory, Paul wants gun rights supporters to drop our defenses and let Brady slap us around. On the contrary, after decades of being on the defensive, the gun rights movement is finally on the offensive. Rather than letting gun grabbers run around the country pushing their agenda, we need to accelerate our efforts and keep poor Paul on the defensive. Before the day is out, expect Brady to begin a new fund raising campaign. Details to follow.
