The Brady Bunch is Gearing Up

Somehow, I'm on a mailing list for the Brady Bunch. I think from an online poll. I get stuff from them and have a chuckle at their expense.

Today, however, I got something from them that gives me pause. Allow me to share part of it with you:

Dear Rus,

Last week, a Federal Appeals Court overturned Washington D.C.’s long-standing restrictions on handguns — a decision that endangers all of America's gun laws.

This case is most likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court and we have a tidal wave of work to do before it gets there.

This battle — to its very core — is the most important battle we have ever waged. We need your help today to build a strong Brady Gun Law Defense Fund to save America's gun laws.

This fight is so critical to the safety and sanity of our nation that an anonymous donor has extended his challenge and will match dollar for dollar all gifts to this Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Your gift will be fully tax deductible.

The threat to all our gun laws is truly unprecedented. The hypocrisy of the ruling is astounding.

What is at stake for you and your community? An emboldened gun lobby will use the ruling to challenge strong local, state and federal gun laws.

We must prepare for an onslaught of lawsuits in which gun laws will be challenged under this new reading of the Second Amendment — a strategy the gun lobby rarely used because of past legal decisions until now. And, if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses itself and adopts the "individual right to bear arms" view approved by the Federal Appeals Court, all good gun laws everywhere could be at risk

... from the long-standing machine gun ban to the 1968 Gun Control Act to the Brady Background Check Law.

to your local and state laws like the ones in California and New Jersey banning Assault Weapons and many more.

[emphasis mine]

So there you have it, the Bradies and their anonymous donor (first name George, maybe?)are getting their ducks in a row. They are getting ready for court.

I'll add that "all good gun laws" is an oxymoron of the highest order.
