Rich White People Against Minority Gun Ownership

(It’s For Their Own Good)

Noted Cigarette…I mean, Gun Control Advocate Sarah Brady has joined forces with the Center for Justice & Democracy to stump for suing gun manufacturers and dealers whenever predatory reptiles hurt or kill their victims with a stolen gun.

“Center for Justice & Democracy.”

Typical socialist buzzwords. Kind of like “Progressive.” They, of course, play the race card, gleaning statements from Progressive Caucus Reps. John Conyers and Sheila Jackson-Lee against tort reform on the grounds that it disproportionately harms minorities. But curiously, every picture in CJ&D’s “List of Participants” report on the families who traveled to DC is one of white people.

And while principled, federalism-centered arguments can be made against national government-mandated tort reform in general, and as it relates to gun lawsuits in particular, the Brady Center, CJ&D and Progressive Caucus have a different agenda—this is just another tactic to help them achieve their goal of citizen disarmament.

Can you imagine having so little faith in your constituents that you feel compelled to drive the cost of guns beyond their economic reach? Because that’s what the nuisance lawsuits are designed to do.

As for being egalitarian, you can become a CJ&D member for $100, but you will “NOT HAVE FULL ACCESS TO [their] WEB SITE” [emphasis theirs]. To get that, you’ll need to pony up $1,000 and become an “Associate.” And if you want “inside information,” you’ll need to become a “Fellow” and pay them $5 Grand. [WarOnGuns offers a similar program—send me $5 G’s and I’ll send you all the inside information I can think of.]

I wonder how many of Rep. Conyers’ and Jackson-Lee’s constituents are in the Fellowship? Or how many will be able to afford a gun if their overseers get their way?
