No Campaign

The National Rifle Association isn't pressing for a specific policy regarding weapons on U.S. college and university campuses, said Andrew Arulanandam, the Fairfax, Virginia-based group's director of public affairs. The group addresses campus gun laws on a state-by-state basis, he said.

"For them to suggest that there's a campaign under way is wrong," Arulanandam said in a telephone interview.
Why the hell not? What are you people waiting for--another school shooting?

"A Good First Step"

“We’re supportive of the concept that those adjudicated as mentally defective should not be able to purchase a firearm,” said NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam.

A spokesman for the Brady Campaign, a gun-control group, said that the bill was a “good first step.”
See that, Andrew? After decades of gun control, these liars are calling this bill a "good first step." And they'll say the same about the next bill, and the one after that.

Some of us have been warning about this particular subterfuge for years:
They’ll propose further restrictions under the bald-faced pretense that it’s "a good first step." They won’t tell you that there are already over 20,000 gun laws on the books at the federal, state and municipal level that are consistently ignored by all but the law-abiding.

"A good first step…" the clueless segment of our victim pool populace will drone back at the proposal of law number 20,001.

"One helluva good first step– keep ‘em coming!" agree illegally armed criminal predators, emboldened with each new law that renders their prey increasingly vulnerable…
You can never give them enough, Andrew. You can't dance with the devil or placate this enemy.

That is, assuming you consider them the enemy.

The Hysterical Propagandist Masquerading As A Journalist Award Goes To...

...Bill Ruthhart of The Indianapolis Star, who uses the cloak of "straight news" to present Brady Campaign talking points. In the interests of maintaining the illusion of being fair and balanced, he did include this quote from an NRA spokesman I find interesting:
"Every time you pass a gun control law, the only universe of people you're going to affect are the law-abiding citizens who will follow that law," said Andrew Arulanandam, director of public affairs for the National Rifle Association.

"Criminals don't follow the laws, so why pass them?"
Exactly. So we can count on the mantra being changed from "enforce" to "repeal existing gun laws"?
