... and then want more money.
Here's the latest Brady Bunch e-mail (emphasis mine) :
VICTORY! Landmark Gun Legislation Signed Into Law!So, Sarah, just how is this law going to allow law enforcement to "more quickly apprehend armed criminals and gang members"? Let me enlighten you on a couple points, and pose a couple questions:
Gov. Schwarzenegger Signs Innovative Bill to Reduce Gun Violence
Dear Rus,
We've had a major victory in California! Your Brady Campaign, its California Chapters, and many allies — including law enforcement — worked hard to pass the Crime Gun Identification Act of 2007. And your support helped make it happen.
This ground-breaking law will allow police to match bullet shells found at a crime scene to the handgun that fired the bullets. Law enforcement will now have new crime-solving tools to more quickly apprehend armed criminals and gang members.
[snip]
This tremendous victory in California comes on the heels of passing other life-saving legislation this year in Maine, Illinois, Virginia, and Connecticut that will prevent gun violence. Thank you for your continued support and activism to help us pass sensible gun laws.
We need your continued support to pass similar legislation in other states. Please click here to give a gift of $35 to support our efforts to pass strong state guns laws across the country.
And help us spread the word: click here to forward this email to friends, family, and colleagues.
Thank you for helping to reduce gun violence in America!
Sincerely,
Sarah Brady, Chair
- criminals and gang members don't get their guns legally. They steal them. How will a microstamped shell casing lead LE to the criminal where there's no record of the criminal purchasing the firearm?
- criminals and gang members regularly file the serial numbers off their weapons. What will prevent them from doing the same to the microstamping device on the firearm?
I doubt the Bradies can supply any logical answers to these. Love to hear them, if they exist.
Oh, and the usual suggested donation was $25, now it's $35. What's up with that?

Yes I agree 100%. I feel sorry for Californians who will have to deal with the consequences of this new law that will make any "normal" handgun illegal to buy or sell starting in 2010. Better buy your guns now before it is too late. I imagine their selection of gun models for law abiding Californians with the required micro stamping equipment will be very limited as not all gun models will be made with the required alterations which would require expensive retrofitting on assembly lines. Hurry Californians! Buy your guns now while you still can!
PS - for Californians thinking no problem since they can buy their guns in another state - think again - it is already illegal to buy guns from a gun dealer out of your state of residence without doing the transaction via a dealer in your own state. Since CA gun dealers won't be allowed to sell new or used guns that don't micro-stamp Californians will be out of luck.
