"Brady Bill" Namesake James Brady Dies at Age 73

National Media Glorifies Him But Gets Story Wrong


Attacks on the Civil Right to Arms to Continue Unabated

Criminal acts still cleverly used as leverage to disarm the innocent

Sarah, not Jim, the real force behind the anti-rights movement

"There's no way to tell if you're on
the Brady rights-denied list, (the "NICS Index")
and attempting to buy a firearm
if you're on the government list is a felony.
Attempting to find out if you're on the list is a crime."




James Brady, the White House Press Secretary under President Ronald Reagan has died. He was 73. He is being credited with "stunning successes" in the "gun-control" efforts in America.

Brady had been shot in the head with a .22 caliber revolver during an assassination attempt on president Reagan in 1981, and was severely incapacitated by the injury. Confined to a wheel chair for the balance of his life, in constant pain and speaking only with extreme difficulty, his ambitious and attractive young wife Sarah was understandably horrified and reportedly turned bitter by the life-changing tragedy. Their world had turned upside down.

Continuing a long tradition of spinning gun-related news to fit a set of beliefs instead of conformance with the facts, the "news" media is portraying James Brady as the moving force behind what is now the Brady Center for the Prevention of Gun Violence, formerly the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, formerly the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence Allied with The Million Moms March, formerly the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence, formerly Handgun Control, Inc., formerly the National Council to Ban Handguns.



Jim Brady Never Ran The Brady Group

His wife Sarah however was the public face and driving force of the anti-gun-rights movement the entire time, which is common knowledge to everyone in the field. Husband Jim was wheeled out infrequently at selected events, often to thunderous applause, where he would wave weakly, occasionally say a few garbled words, and leave the rest of the activity to his wife and others. He was incapable of much else due to the unfortunate tragedy he endured.

The Brady Bill, technically The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, eventually took control of every firearm sold at retail in America, not just handguns as originally promoted, thanks to a little noticed portion that took effect automatically in 1998 -- five years after Congress voted to pass the bill in 1993. Delayed passage of unexpected, controversial or unpopular provisions of law is a questionable practice, according to leading experts. It caught most gun owners by complete surprise.



Five-Day "Cooling Off" Period Was Promo, Not Real


The much vaunted five-day waiting (or "cooling off") period, promoted by the "news" media as the reason for passing the bill, was never a significant part of even the handgun law, never part of the all-firearms bill, and is not part of the bill now.

It was basically used as feel-good leverage to pass the bill for those who didn't read it, and for media promotion. Many people still believe there is a five-day waiting period in the law, even though there isn't now and effectively never was. The "news" media has done little or nothing to clarify the point, leaving the public with the same false impression, 21 years later. But it feels good, according to some with inside knowledge of the situation.

Some states have enacted their own waiting periods of differing lengths and conditions. The 'holy grail' of waiting periods, a long sought after goal of anti-gun-rights activists, has been largely abandoned, left on the dust heap of history. It eventually became obvious, even to die-hard activists, that it was illogical to sell guns to the furiously angry, and then hope they remain calm for the rest of their lives after a five-day wait to get armed.
https://www.gunlaws.com/WaitingPeriodsEssay.htm



Rights Denied With No Due Process


Although "news" reports are literally promoting a factoid, presented with no corroboration, that the Brady bill has prevented two million gun transfers from taking place, there is no evidence that the bill has prevented any criminals from arming themselves. Disarming criminals is the stated goal of the bill.

In fact, gangs and criminals in America are known to be heavily armed despite every law on the books banning such activity. In that sense, the Brady bill is an abject failure, but at least it is enormously expensive, diverts scarce resources from other desperately needed uses, impacts every innocent person who shops for firearms, and provides massive employment for law-enforcement officials and the NICS background-check center in West Virginia. None of these points made any "news" reports.

What the two-million figure actually represents, assuming the number is correct, is people denied their fundamental civil and human right to obtain firearms -- without due process, a court hearing, submission of evidence, representation of counsel, or a decent appeals process. In fairness though, there is an administrative process that leads to frequent reversals due to bad records, name similarities and plain old government snafus, unmentioned in "news" accounts. How many should truly be denied firearms for cause is unknown, uninvestigated and unquestioned, except here.

In other words, the public's "specific, enumerated right" (District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 628 n.27 (2008) to keep and bear arms, gets banned under the Brady bill by bureaucrats and a computer terminal, without immediate or easy redress.

There is no way to tell if you are on the Brady gun-rights-denied list, (technically, the "NICS Index") and attempting to exercise your rights and buy a firearm if you are on the government list is a felony. Attempting to find out if you're on the list is a crime. The Brady system is, by design, tyrannical.

The alternative BIDS system, at 90% less cost, would accomplish the same Brady-like purpose of preventing criminals from buying firearms at retail and paying sales tax, yet would not infringe on the innocent, but has gotten a cold shoulder from officials, for reasons that were unclear at press time.

https://www.gunlaws.com/BIDSvNICS.htm.

Using the BIDS approach (Blind Identification System), the list of prohibited possessors is made available, encrypted and password protected, to federally licensed dealers, who can look up prospective buyers, similar to wanted posters, to prevent sales to undesirables, while keeping the names of the innocent out of government hands. The need for huge federal employee banks and overhead is eliminated entirely.

How many of the two million prevented transfers were real criminals trying to buy guns who should be arrested for it? That's been studied. Virtually none, at astronomical cost, it's easily googled (a NICS stop is insufficient grounds to dispatch law enforcement, and virtually never "grounds for successful prosecution," Translation: a hard-enough crime has not been committed). This is the "success" the media splashes in our faces. For shame.


Brady Gave FBI Centralized Control Over The Public

The main tangible result of the Brady bill was to authorize more than $250 million initially, with unknown subsequent funding, for the FBI to build its long-desired centralized computer center in Clarksburg, W. Va., from which it could check out any American from a single location. With funding unavailable for years, the furor over "gun control" provided the final impetus to construct the huge campus that houses the NICS center that performs background checks on every new gun sold in America. Its other uses are a closely guarded secret.

The FBI's NICS center is the largest retail-control system of any kind in the world, keeping tabs, in real time, of sales nationwide of a consumer product. It now handles an average of more than a million requests a month. See a diagram of how it works here: https://www.gunlaws.com/images/nicsbig.gif

The system is capable of turning off gun sales nationally -- or regionally -- at the flip of a switch, and has done so repeatedly, on "a trial basis," for "scheduled maintenance," and "unexpected outages," even during busy holiday-buying seasons, or during weekend gun shows, sometimes for days at a time. https://www.gunlaws.com/brady8day.htm. System up time has improved over the years.



National Gun Registration System Can't Be Confirmed

Although the Brady system isn't supposed to maintain a list of gun buyers, which is banned by federal law (FOPA, 1986, and the Brady bill itself), public confidence in this is low. When originally built, Janet Reno, the attorney general under whose authority it was constructed, claimed at the time the computer was incapable of deleting records, to the shock of many observers. She later recanted, and said it would be rebuilt to delete records within six months.

She recanted again, after Congressional outrage, and said records would be deleted quickly, as if her edicts could simply supplant statute (which required destruction). Ten sets of backups are deleted in sequence, according to an FBI spokesperson contacted at the SHOT Show, to protect the integrity of the system. The results of record checks performed outside the system, to foreign sources, are unclear. No audit trail is known, and the FBI, which runs the system, assures Congress and the public that it runs the system within the confines of the law. An insider has assured me this is true. The FBI had previously stated publicly that it keeps the records.



Operational Style Generated Endless Criticism

The Brady organization itself has been responsible for some of the most vicious and tasteless campaigns against the fundamental human right to self defense, and the civil right to keep and bear arms, in the history of the United States. Relying on "Rahm's Rule," named after Rahm Emanuel, now the mayor of Chicago, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

The group never fails to use criminal actions for leverage in its endless attempts to disarm everyone who had nothing to do with the evil acts. It has become their trademark tactic, lapped up by a cooperative media that, based solely on a review of the coverage they give, largely shares their anti-gun-rights views.

The Brady group has been characterized by the late civil-rights champion Neal Knox as always "dancing in the blood of victims." When a deranged individual or prescription-drug crazed madman commits an atrocity, gun owners prepare themselves for an assault, invariably led by the Bradys and their allies, lasting for days on end, aimed at everyone who had nothing to do with the event.

Even a single murderous attack seemingly anywhere in the nation, is now broadcast repeatedly thousands of miles away, and often years later, thanks to the group's tremendous influence, and used as an argument for reducing the public's right to keep and bear arms. Pictures of the evil perpetrator, which ought to be downplayed, are instead beamed into American homes, prompting some to cynically refer to the group as the Brady Center for the Promotion of Gun Violence.

In contrast, the good that guns do, saving lives, preventing crime, keeping America free, and as a sport significantly bigger than golf, gets extremely little attention in what passes for news these days. Thirteen scholarly studies show between 700,000 and 2.5 million defensive gun uses every year, but you would hardly know it if the Brady group was your source of information.




Sarah Brady was not reached for comment. As she has aged, and the group has matured, her activity with the organization has reportedly decreased.

Alan Korwin, the author of this and countless similar articles about monkey business in media coverage of firearms issues, simply asks that you click this link, look at the books and DVDs he and his associates have produced, and get something good for yourself to help keep you safe, informed, and so he can continue his work. Do you have the gun laws for your state? Have you read up on gun-fight tactics or gun policies lately? Could you be a more effective advocate for your rights? Do you want to DO something already?

CORRECTION:


This high-speed smuggling boat the U.S. Border Patrol
cannot intercept midstream is actually crossing from Guatemala into
Mexico, not from Mexico into the United States, as previously reported.
The five-and six-year-old unescorted children who are traveling 1,500
miles through a primitive and dangerous country on their own without
money, food, water, sometimes even shoes, by the thousands, well, that's
another story.

We apologize for the error. We got our rivers mixed up.




They want you to believe 23,000 Border Patrol agents can't stop this.


The alternate explanation is that this movement of 50,000 people is organized, the 5- and 6-year olds are assisted all the way as they would have to be, the plan was always to have them stay here all along, and they represent tens of thousands of future voters, the rest is lies and misdirection, planned in advance, have a nice day. Could it be true?

REPEAT

Twenty Years of Guns On The Street


The lamestream media told you:
The lamestream media told you:

Nothing.


The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Talk is already circulating on what to do to recognize a special firearms anniversary coming up late this year. In October we'll be recognizing the fact that 20 years ago, millions of decent Arizonans acquired the ability to discreetly carry firearms legally, and virtually no one was harmed -- although it required a government permission slip and a lot of red tape at first.

This is despite an onslaught of media coverage that experts declared was unbiased and accurate -- yet it forecast bloody disasters that never occurred. No corrections were ever issued.

We found that permittees and others do not shoot each other at traffic lights, and all the slow waiters are still alive. Stories from the armed people evidence the crime-stopping power of an armed population.

"Whenever you deny a person's civil rights, you are doing evil and it will have bad consequences," said Charles Heller, a spokesperson for Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, a Wisconsin-based civil-rights group. The organization works to raise awareness of the link between disarming the public and genocide, the roots of which run deep throughout history and have touched many nations. http://www.jpfo.org

"Twenty years after Arizonans regained the civil right to discreetly carry firearms, we have incontrovertible proof that regular citizens can carry loaded guns in public without becoming dangerous to public safety, or leaving dead bodies behind them as the anti-rights extremists predicted in their Wild West fantasies," said Jeff Knox, director of The Firearms Coalition, http://www.firearmscoalition.org/ a civil-rights group based in Buckeye, Ariz.

What the public has also noticed is that something in the culture is breaking down, because psychotic maniacs, frequently on prescribed FDA-approved psychotropic drugs, are roaming free and perpetrating acts of horrific disgrace on completely unsuspecting innocent people, murdering them in public before committing suicide.

The same media that falsely threatened psychotic madness from people who were tested and got government-issued permits -- the blood never ran -- saturates the public with tales of the psycho murderers, nationwide, never letting the stories end.

Just this week (6/26/14), USA Today, "The Nation's Newspaper," ran a major story in its Phoenix edition about two people shot dead in a horrific ghetto insultingly named Liberty City -- 2,000 miles away. "What possible relevance does that have here?" asked one expert. "Where is any semblance of balance with stories about all the lives saved by people with firearms?"

There is none, and there are no ethical consequences, though dire loss of revenues and readers might be attributed to the poor workmanship.

Then, according to critics, when challenged the media people hide behind the First Amendment. The public seems to be without recourse against such prejudice in such a well-entrenched enemy of truth.

There was a reason for the story however. It accompanied a tale from billionaire anti-rights activist Mike Bloomberg, who has two of his funded groups campaigning to change how statistics are collected and analyzed, to show that guns are worse than currently portrayed. I'm not making this up. How much control can one person exercise?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/25/death-child-unintentional-shooting/11324717/

The story also campaigns to have the federal Centers for Disease Control get and spend money developing anti-gun-rights "medical" policy, which is forbidden by law. The public was warned that Bloomberg would start doing this at the Gun Rights Policy Conference back in September, 2013.

TEMPUS FUGIT
by Lawrence Lee Rowe
Only $20, hardcover
add_to_cart.gif    view_cart.gif

Summary: Washington, Jefferson and Franklin find themselves inexplicably transported to the future (our time), and explore the country they launched two centuries earlier. I loved it. A fascinating examination of the Founders' original values and hopes, contrasted beautifully with where we are today. Deeply insightful, amazing confrontations, a true masterpiece.

What would happen if those three Founders suddenly materialized in the modern world? What would they think? Had their plan for a new nation built on liberty succeeded? Incredibly well researched (he tastefully uses some of their letters to create the current dialog!), you get a deep sense of each Founder's style, as they discover what America has become in 225 years...

The three suddenly find themselves in a forest, a dangerous place in Colonial times, where savages could attack at any moment. What were Washington's first words? "I'm unarmed." Jefferson responds, "Me too." After seeing how the Constitution has been amended and mismanaged, and how the nation has devolved, they come to realize, only Franklin would still be eligible to be elected president...

Texas gun laws have changed -- a lot.

New hotel rules; Guns-in-vehicles laws changed; "Inadvertent Display Law";
School Marshal program explained; New knife laws; BB and air-gun laws;
Preemption and school grounds; "Reveal and relinquish your gun" law;
"Defensive Display" law; CHL training has been overhauled...

If you have this book without the flag colors and red emblem on the cover you're out-of date.

Texas DPS is no longer approving training materials, and they
no longer provide the type of support they did when the CHL program started.

The list of laws they give out is PARTIAL -- this book has them all (and describes them).

Some highlights, details (and statutes) included in the 8th edition:

--Mandatory carry-license training has been reduced from 10-15 hours to 4-6 hours.
    Widely publicized by the "news" media. Your need-to-know hasn't dropped, just the government mandate.

--Renewals are now a paperwork and taxing process that can be concluded online, with no new testing required.
       Savvy instructors will start promoting training instead of waiting for expired-license students to show up. Some instructors think this means the end of their business, and for some that may be true. For others, business will increase, as training becomes demand driven instead of government mandated. In Arizona, this demographic and market shift led to new ranges and new training companies opening, catering to newcomers, plus advanced tactical and refresher classes. The ease of renewals led to more original signups.

--Instructors no longer go to the DPS range for testing, they now test each other at a range of their own choosing.

--The risk CHLs used to face for having a gun momentarily show through concealment has been reduced, not eliminated.

--The guarantees of the Motorist Protection Act have been extended somewhat to colleges and universities. It is a step toward Constitutional Carry -- true freedom to carry, without requiring government-issued permission slips.

--The preemption law got some teeth, and BB and air guns are now defined and included.

--Hotels that want to ban your civil right to arms must give you notice or face (minor) criminal penalties.

--A program to provide armed guards in schools ("School Marshals") is underway, though it will be a while before it is robust. Not exactly part of the CHL program, DPS wants other dept. to run it, must have CHL to apply, psych test and a lot more to it. See the book for details.

--The abusive policy of destroying firearms in police custody has ended. Those guns must now be sold, the money used to fight crime.

--The artificial "SA" and "NSA" distinction between semi-autos and non-semi-autos has been discarded. Minimum caliber for the shooting test remains .32, but any qualification allows you to carry any legal firearm, and qualify once in a lifetime (for now).

--Using your social security number for identification in the CHL program is now banned. But forms still have it included.

--Many other smaller changes have also been made. Many are noted in the update summaries at GunLaws.com, linked below. Without the book itself though you get a disjointed view. Get the book. Play it safe.

I've even had news-media people respond!
Give it to them.

Fence-sitters and anti-rights people exposed to
Your First Gun end up questioning their beliefs.

They can't help but consider the normal and rational
reasons why 100 million of us are safely armed.

It is not "Guns 101" with mechanics and diagrams--

It's a Q&A guide about the personal issues every gunless person
dreams of and asks about and is tantalized by.

IT WILL MAKE YOU a MORE CONVINCING TALKER

Your First Gun takes the sting out of gun ignorance
and moves the common person closer to gun ownership.


DO YOU KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
SO A GUNLESS PERSON FEELS SAFE --
and will consider getting a firearm?

Isn't it dangerous to keep a gun at home?

Where would I even put the thing?

What good is it if I have to keep it locked up?

Can't the criminal just use it against me?

What will my spouse and neighbors think?

Get this book into your gunless friends' hands,
so we can swell our ranks and win!
Gun owners will learn a lot in here too.
Includes 19 anecdotes of people's first gun.

After You Shoot:
Your gun's hot. The perp's not. Now what?
https://www.gunlaws.com/AYS.htm


I can boil down my 13th book to this:

Before you drop the hammer, remember:
You will write a check for your life savings to your lawyer.
Don't do that unless your life depends on it.

Don't forget:

=E2=80=A2 It's always better to avoid a gunfight than to win one.

=E2=80=A2 It's always better to win one than to lose one.

=E2=80=A2 If innocent life doesn't immediately depend on it, don't shoot.

=E2=80=A2 And if it does, don't miss.


After You Shoot: Your gun's hot. The perp's not. Now what?

The Political Power Package
Belongs in every patriot's library --
https://www.gunlaws.com/books18packages.htm

Find out exactly how activists get laws enacted or defeated, sway popular opinion and leave political rivals in the dust. This selection cuts to the heart of the matter, with the game rules you never get in school or from the news. Learn about the Pavlovian stimulus that makes politicians respond, the tools used by leftists to advance their cause that can work for you too, tremendous life skills for getting what you want that will work in every aspect of your life, and the principled arguments that can win over anyone with a half-way open mind. You may never convince "die-hard true believers" so you should know not to waste time on them. The American fight for freedom is an appeal with legs, if you know how to walk the walk.
Confrontational Politics / After You Shoot / How To Win Friends and Influence People / Getting To Yes / Nation of Cowards / Inclined to Liberty
