Targeting Children for Political Gain

Why does the Brady Campaign do it?

Hey, when the leftists to do it, they're just metaphors. But when Sarah Palin and her ilk do it, why, it's secret code to their Manchurian Shooters to kill as many politicians as they can. C'mon, David, everybody knows that! ;o)

Hey, I can't find the crosshairs on any of MY 9mms. Are they defective, have I been cheated, or what?
Brady campaigns are never intended to reach the brain, just the knee-jerk reflex.
I wonder if the armed-robber son of my Mayors Against Illegal Guns mayor underwent a background check, or did he just walk a few blocks from city hall into a bad neighborhood and get one from "Cuz."

The political right did NOT demonize the political left after the shooting of President Reagan, even though the left went into its typical gleeful blood dance after the attack, and this, as I see it, is the major difference between conservative Americans and leftist/progressive/collectivist/socialist Americans. (I do not include classical, Jeffersonian liberals in this statement.)

Leftists are unable to make a distinction between political opponents and personal enemies.

The good news is that leftist blood dancing has, so far, failed. The blood dancers screamed and splashed after each and every school, mall, courtroom, and church shooting, and every political assassination and assassination attempt since Andrew Jackson. In spite of their efforts, even with a few setbacks, we have managed to make steady progress towards freedom. We will continue to progress, even if the leftists attempt to pull the entire country down around us, because we are in the right. We are morally, politically, socially, and economically superior to the leftists whom, throughout history, everywhere on the planet, have brought war, pestilence, famine, death, despotism, ruin and misery to the people they claimed to desire to help.

My heart goes out to the victims of this insane gunman, just as it's always gone out to the victims of the collectivists.

Well said, Gaviota.


Something else "for the children":

"Why does the Brady Campaign do it?"

They send out postcards with a picture of a gun and kids in the crosshairs only because they wouldn't get away with actually shooting the kids to advance their gun ban agenda. They would if they could.
If they could just wave a magic wand and suddenly have hundreds of kids a day being shot and killed across America in waves of child massacres, they would wave that magic wand and make it so. They would horribly rationalize it as being necessary to pass legislation to save others, but they would do it. Their god of gun control demands blood sacrifice, and they do want to satisfy their god.
The political left is not driven by concern about people, they are driven by their lust for power and they will do whatever it takes to get it by disarming the American people so that we are defenseless against them. That is what we are up against.
