At Least They're Consistent

Sarah Brady complained about state preemption legislation in Kansas, calling it the “No Local Rights bill.”

“[W]e should all agree that in a democracy,” she commands, “the people of a local community should be able to take the appropriate steps to ensure their safety locally. That's what democracy is all about. To pass this wrong headed language into law is contrary to democracy.”

Meanwhile, fellow gun grabber California Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg is backing state legislation to ban public school sports teams from using the name “Redskins.” Why the need for action from Sacramento?

“If local control were to govern civil rights," Goldberg said, "there would be none.”

So it's perfectly okay to take guns away at the state or federal level, but when it comes to allowing them, only the localities should be able to do it? Very smart, Sarah.
