Come on Texas, We Can Do Better than this! - Brady Campaign

[thankGod]

Come on Texas, we can do better than this! The Brady Campaign Scorecard for 2008 has us rated in 27th place. We should be able to tie with Oklahoma, or Louisiana.

This may be old, but it's news to me.

What's wrong with these people?

The Brady Bunch sent out a news release yesterday and it's already popping up in a variety of papers. I only wish a similar release from the NRA would be able to get as much press. Here are some samples:

I'm sad to see one of the articles come from a Texas A&M paper. although it does not reference the Brady press release, the timing is suspect.

It really makes my stomach churn to see whats become of what used to be a fine conservative University. What really makes me angry though is the Vermont TV station report

A national gun control organization gives Vermont just 9 out of 100 points for gun control laws.

The Brady Campaign report says Vermont has very few regulations regarding the sale of handguns, especially private sales and private sales at gun shows, neither require background checks. Also, gun owners are not required to have child safety locks and assault weapons are not well regulated.

The Brady Campaign feels Vermont's lack of gun regulations contributes to crimes in neighboring states.

The reasoning goes. Well Vermont doesn't restrict guns very much, and we have lower crime than a couple states around us, our low crime and lax gun laws are causing the surrounding states of Massachussetts and New York to look bad.

That one has got to give the Bradys fits. Vermont has few gun regulations...their crime is low...neighboring states have many gun regulations...their crime is high...wait a minute, that can't be right...criminals must be getting guns from Vermont and using them elsewhere...yeah, that's it...

I believe the term is cognitive dissonance.

SHOOT FIRST
Is deadly force allowed to be a first resort in public? Yes

Texas - The state does allow the use of deadly force as a first resort in public. This dangerous law permits the average citizen to bypass our entire justice system by permitting him or her to assume the role of police officer, prosecutor, judge, and executioner.

Isn't that exactly what the BG is doing that is precipitating the use of deadly force?

Keep in mind the author's name is Vineet Tiruvadi. I suspect this isn't someone with DEEP Texas roots. Am I being prejudice based upon his or her name? Yes.

Gee, sounds a lot like the Mexico argument doesn't it!

No, how could anyone believe that that kind of logic could succeed?

Beware of illogical arguments! They may seem stupid, but emotion often gets in the way of clear and logical thinking.

Success of this kind of drivel is what keeps the Brady's in business.

Who really cares what the Brady bedwetters think except other bedwetters?

Reading your link made blood shoot out of my eyes. That Brady crud sours my stomach.
