A SHORT NOTE FROM SARAH BRADY

Just a quick note to tell you that you are not the only one who is outraged that terrorist, criminals, and those who are mintally ill can openly buy weapons - including high-powered assault weapons -at gun shows. I am too!

So may I tell you a quick story? As you may know, my husband Jim was badly injured and almost killed in the assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981. Not long after Jim was wounded, my son was in a relative's pickup truck and he found what he believed was a toy gun and played with it.

But, in fact, it was not a toy. It was a real gun. I was terrified, and later that night, even though it was about 10 PM, I picked up the telephone and dialed the National Rifle Associatoin and said, "This is Sarah Brady and I want you to know that I will be making it my life's work to put you out of business!"

I was probably only talking ot a night janitor, but I felt like I was going to explode if I didn't put hte NRA on recored that it did not represent the vast majority of Americans.

And since then, Jim and I have mad it our life's work to put the gun lobby out of business - an dpass and protect sensible gun laws.

We've made real progess - but still, this damnable gun show loophole remains, as does the fact that more than 80 Americans die from gun violence every day!

Even though we were hugely successfful on Election Night 2008, the battle still rages. The American public decisevily told their elected officioals on both national and local levels that they do not want strong gun laws, which means that clsoing the gun show loophole, enacting a strong and comprehensive assault weapons ban, and curbing the large-volume sales that feed gun trafficking.

As Jim says, we don't want what happened to us to happen to anyone else.

It would be a distinct pleasure to wealcome you as a supporting friend of the Brady Campaing to Prevent Gun Violence. I thank you!

Sarah Brady
Chair

PS: Here are 11 Terrifying Reasons to Close the Gun Show Loophole:

1) Mac-10 automatic pistol = $795

2)10% of the guns used in crimes by children were sold at gun shows.

3) Handgun =$595.00

4) Buy a gun...no questions asked!

5) Cop killer bullets = $13.00

6) "I would not have bough a gun for Eric and Dylan if I had had to give any personal information or submit to any type of check at all" - Robyn Anderson who bought the Columbine killers their guns at a gun show.

7)25-50% of the vendors at most gunshows are unlicended dealers.

8) Semi-auto and automatic weapons guides = $7.97

9) No backgorund check required by unlicensed dealers.

10) AK 47 conversion parts = $4.99

11) Assault weapons are back on the streets, and you can get one at your local gun show with no questions asked!

Looks like the day after the tea party, the gun control movement is going to try for a BIG PUSH, assisted by the leftists MSM.

My favorite signs from the tea parties:

"WE CAME UNARMED......THIS TIME!"

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY "JOHN GALT's" and "HENRY BOWMAN's" ARE IN THIS CROWD!

BANG!

There is so much BS and lies in these two, that I cannot even begin. I have never seen a whole damn letter, sentence to sentence filled with such lies, exaggerations, and distortions in my life.

It's as if the Devil himself wrote this.

Oh, my...

“You have no idea how many...Henry Bowmans are in this crowd”

for real?

I hope they get the point...
Bowman didn’t mess with defending himself from LEO’s...
He went after who sent ‘em.

>4) Buy a gun...no questions asked!

Where do you buy your guns that you don’t have to fill out that long form with LOTS of questions?

>5) Cop killer bullets = $13.00

Where do you find such a good price on them? {$13 for a box of 50 is a good deal!}

>10) AK 47 conversion parts = $4.99

For converting the entire weapon to select-fire? If so please send me a link!

>11) Assault weapons are back on the streets, and you can get one at your local gun show with no questions asked!

What streets are you watching, I haven’t seen much of a rise in people carrying assault weapons... however, I would be strapping on my revolver if I had it handy before going out on the town... after all I llive in an open-carry state.

Show your driver's license to a private dealer, and now, thanks to congressional inaction, you can even buy an American-made AK-47 or Uzi-style killing machine. It is all perfectly legal

All private dealers conduct background checks. FFL's have NICS checks in gun shows.

1. Automatic pistols aren't automatic.
2. Your proof?
3. $600? I paid a lot less for mine and it wasn't junk.
4. Then why did they call the FBI when I bought my rifle?
5. WTF do you consider a cop-killer bullet.
6. One person...
7. "Unlicense dealer?" That's a felony.
8. Pure Puffery
9. Unlicense dealer is a felony.
10. Don't you need a Class III for conversion parts?
11. Bullshit.

Dear Tools:

Jimbo? The NRA didn't put you in a wheelchair. A loon did. Outlaw loons, not guns.

And Sarah? If you spent more time giving a sh!t about your husband and less grandstanding to puff yourself up, Ole Jim would be in better shape and WE wouldn't have to hear your tired old whine anymore.

What are the odds that Jim Brady doesn’t even know that the letter purported to be written by him exists?

With the greatest respect for your service to this country, Mr Brady:

Please take a reeeaaaall long look at the Liberal “head doctors” who think that anyone with ANY KIND of mental illness can be ‘fixed’ with ‘therapy and possibly drugs’.
This is part of the same theory supporting the idea that any sane person can sit down and “talk to the Nutjob running Iran”.

Hundreds of crazies are roaming our streets in America as I write this, and when they snap- there may well be a young mother who is killed or ends up in another wheelchair. All of us out here are at risk from these gangs and crazies. Your supporters have never advocated shutting down the border with Mexico and keeping their CRIMINALS where they came from.

All of your efforts are aimed at taking guns away from the people who are NOT a problem with their guns.

Your focus is entirely wrong——go after all the lawyers who find a reason to plea bargain down the charges against a person with a rap sheet 8 feet long, who is only 23 years old. Look hard at the judge who keeps the revolving doors of the courts running faster than a hamster’s cage.

Tell your side of the story to the 4 widows of the policemen who were shot in Oakland by a perp who should have been inside a jail cell for the rest of his life. He had a rap sheet longer than all the awards of the very best ‘professor’ in the whole country- and he was on parole—AGAIN !!!!!

There is your gun problem, Mr Brady.

Too bad that all your supporters cannot open their eyes a little and see just where the costs of wrong justice are in this country.

And that's why I am so deeply involved in the work of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and why we need you to join us with a contribution of $20, $32, or $75.

You should take the pre-paid envelope and send back one bullet.

Of course, Big Daddy FED aka the DNC will start pushing for the really odious measures now that the taxes have been paid.

Okay Jim, Sarah, since you think the Second Amendment should be done away with, what do you say I get to pick the Amendment I want to do away with. And then we’ll let my good friends here at FR all choose an Amendment they would like to do away with.

Why heck, within an hour we can destroy the whole U.S. Constitution. Isn’t that a great idea.

I am sorry Jim was wounded when Reagan was almost killed. I would have hated to see Reagan killed. We would have lost out on his leadership. But Ronald Reagan never advocated for abolishing the Second Amendment, and neither should you.

The only thing that stands between the total abuse of our rights is our ability to defend ourselves. I will NEVER give up that right. Neither should you.
