While one airliner after another slashes their payrolls, the best-known anti-gun lobby in Washington laid off 14 people Tuesday.
Officials at the Brady Campaign, formerly known as Handgun Control, confirmed to HOH yesterday that they cut nearly 20 percent of their staff this week.
"It's a difficult time around here," said spokesman Brendan Daly. "Like a lot of other nonprofit organizations, we've been hit by the downturn in the economy."
Daly said the group has also been affected by the terrorism in America, which has led to overflow contributions to relief efforts. "The terrorist attacks have rightly focused people on helping the victims, but that has a direct impact on our fundraising."
The fact that gun control has not been at the top of the Congressional agenda has also not helped the group founded by Jim and Sarah Brady after Mr. Brady nearly died from a gunshot wound during the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Among their triumphs was getting the Brady bill signed into law, which resulted in a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases.
"They've known some of these people for a very long time," Daly said of the couple. "But I think they're holding up."
Can't say I'm sad to hear about HCI's financial woes.
Hope the NRA is holding steady - I recently renewed the gift membership I send to my father every year...
Sounds like they need to close up shop to me.
Too honorable to play a rational part it their drivel.
In fact now is the time to really push the notion of making concealed firearms permits a FEDERAL matter of reciprocity between states based on the 2nd Amendment (of course) and the 14th Amendment's "Full Faith and Credit" clause. There is serious talk of arming pilots. Why NOT extend the same courtesy to millions of more highly trained and practiced civilians...remember that according to the writings of the Founding Fathers, we are ALL in the militia!
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
For the cause I donated cash & blood to Red Cross and am getting typed up for bone marrow donation...
Anti-gunnes eat dirt..
I have a great gun logo how do you post?..

He wasn't too honorable to actively campaign for Chuck Schumer's gun-control campaign for the Senate.
I saved an article from the New York Times that shows honorable Jim in his wheelchair and with his cane--on the stage shaking Schumer's hand---to the side is a large sign that says "242,000 FELONS STOPPED BY THE BRADY BILL." [NY Times. 29 Oct 98, page A27].
