From the Brady fundraising letter:

H.R. 5092 would make it virtually impossible for ATF to shut down rogue gun dealers, who repeatedly violate federal law. With gun violence and crime increasing across the nation, it is time to crack down on, not coddle, corrupt gun dealers.

That's a flat out lie and the Brady bunch knows it. All HR 5092 would do is prevent lawyers for mayors of cities like New York from suing law abiding gun dealers in other states out of business, which is what Bloomberg is attempting to do with suits against dealers in VA, GA, and other southern states.

Bloomberg and the gun-hating liars at Brady know that a small gun shop owner in VA or some other state can't afford the many thousands of $ it would take to defend his business from a lawsuit brought by NYC, which can spend millions of $ on each lawsuit it takes to court. The result of those harassing lawsuits will be many small gun shops put out of business in states with reasonable gun laws, not because they broke any gun laws, but because Bloomberg and his ilk want as many gun dealers as possible shut down.

This is the exact same tactic that big city mayors were using to sue gun manufacturers out of business until Congress passed the law protecting manufacturers from the same kind of harassing lawsuits that retail dealers are now forced to contend with. If this works for Bloomberg, and it will unless Congress acts to stop him, you can be sure that scores of other big city liberal mayors will get in line to follow his example, and when that happens no gun store in the US will be safe from those goons. If we want our local gun shops to stay in business instead of being forced out by Bloomberg or his fellow nazi mayors in other cities we need to urge our Congress people to pass HR 5092 in this current session.

I wholeheartedly agree with your post. Their tactics are disgusting and are just part of the war against freedom and against my culture. They are splitting America and polarizing our society to a very dangerous degree.
