Sarah Brady: Tighter Gun Laws Needed to Prevent Terrorism and
Strengthen National Security

Violence, 202-898-0792
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Sarah Brady, chair of the
Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, today issued the following
statement regarding the U.S. Senate's passage last night of
anti-terrorism legislation.
"With passage of this legislation, the Senate has taken a
significant step toward ensuring that law enforcement has the tools
needed to investigate and deter terrorist attacks. But there is
one glaring omission - nothing in this bill will close the gaps in
our federal firearm laws that allow terrorists to amass their
deadly arsenals. The House should address this failure when it
takes up the legislation today.
"We know from recent terrorism investigations that these
dangerous criminals will exploit any opening in our laws to buy
weapons, including firearms. In some cases, they have gone to gun
shows and bought firearms and ammunition from unlicensed sellers
who were not required to conduct criminal background checks.
"Incredibly, our soldiers could be gunned down by foreign
terrorists armed with firearms purchased at American gun shows. We
can, and must, close loopholes in our firearm laws by requiring a
background check every time a firearm is sold. A criminal
background check is a minor inconvenience for gun buyers -- most
are completed within minutes -- but is a key tool for protecting
public safety. We must also ensure that there are records of all
firearm sales so that law enforcement officials can track
terrorists, trace their weapons, and know what threats they are
facing when they attempt to apprehend these criminals.
"Any anti-terrorism proposal that fails to address easy access
to firearms and retention of records is clearly inadequate. If we
need more careful screening of people entering our country, surely
we need to check the background of people buying guns once they are
here. And it makes no sense to crack down on terrorists laundering
money, if we allow them to use their cash to buy weapons with
impunity. The Congress and the Administration should work together
to make this counter-terrorism package more comprehensive."
She is a despicable person.

Now THAT would be interesting reading!
It was certainly a tragedy that her old man got popped by a lunatic. He was in government service, therefore a potential target of any extremist, whacko and/or self deluded combatant in an anti-American campaign.
Can you envision the widow/widower of a military person demanding the end to all weaponry after their spouse dies or is injured in "combat"?
Sarah: Get a life, move on, grow up and keep your filthy little grasping hands off my firearms before you lose a limb from touching what is not yours to control.

ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!
This woman is absolutely pathetic! She has absolutely no conscience at all to be using the attack on the US to continue HER attack on the US. Send this woman to Afghanistan.
Disarming Americans disarms America.
That is their goal, disarming Americans and disarming America. The mask is slipping. I hope that more sheeple will realize that she's wrong and that the more aware people will go beyond that realization and understand it's more than being "mistaken". I hope more and more people ask themselves, "WHY is she trying to DISARM us?
There are a lot of ways to destroy America as we have always known it. People who want to disarm us and leave us helpless in the face of criminal thugs, dictatorial governments, or rabid terrorists ARE terrorists themselves. You're either with us or with the terrorists.
Now is NOT the time to keep law abiding citizens from getting a gun to protect themselves from the factions who already have them and are aiming their guns at innocent Americans.
I agree 100%. And Sarah Brady is an idiot and needs to shut up!

It should read:
Sarah Brady, demented hag who runs the Brady Campaign to turn the US into a clone of Nazi Germany ...
She further rants on:
But there is one glaring omission - nothing in this bill will close the gaps in our federal firearm laws that allow terrorists to amass their deadly arsenals
What she really means is:
There is not enough in this legislation to render American citizens truly helpless
She and her accomplices in government and out won't be satisfied until the entire US is a place where "only the police and military are armed"
Why doesn't she go and preach her idiocy to the Afgans? I'm sure the'd listen to her psychotic ravings (for about 30 seconds before they settled her hash with an AK - and who could blame them)
Like any other hollow political animal in DC, while Brady sits in his wheelchair and slowly loses what little mind he has left, Sarah parties with her own intern harem. Such is the life of an otherwise non-entity.
They are very well financed.
