Brady Campaign Endorses Obama

The Anti-Second Amendment group, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has endorsed the Obama/Biden ticket.

"Washington, D.C. - Sarah and Jim Brady and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence with its network of Million Mom March Chapters endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President and Senator Joseph Biden for Vice President today, and urged Americans to vote for them. "

This is the same group that decried the Supreme Court's Heller decision that held in part: "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."

How radical. At the time the Brady Campaign said: “Our fight to enact sensible gun laws will be undiminished by the Supreme Court’s decision in the Heller case."

What was the "reasonable" law that was struck down? Here's a summary:

"The District of Columbia generally prohibits the possession
of handguns. It is a crime to carry an unregistered
firearm, and the registration of handguns is prohibited. Wholly apart from that prohibition, no person may carry a handgun without a license, but the chief of police may issue licenses for 1-year periods. See District of Columbia law also requires residents to keep their lawfully owned firearms, such as registered long guns, “unloaded and disassembled or bound by a triggerlock or similar device” unless they are located in a place of business or are being used for lawful recreational activities."

In other words, the Brady campaign defines "reasonable" as outlawing an entire class of commonly used self-defense firearms and rendering every other gun useless in an emergency.

There's nothing unusual about this endorsement as Obama dishonestly pays the same lip service to the Second Amendment as Kerry and Gore did during their campaigns. From Obama's Fight the Smears site:

During Barack’s career in the Illinois and United States senates, he proudly stood to defend the rights of hunters and sportsmen while doing everything he could to protect children — including his own two daughters — from illegal gun violence...

Barack has clearly spelled out his position on guns to Field
& Stream:
“I am very mindful of the fact that sportsmen in America
may have gone hunting with their fathers, their grandfathers, their mothers, their grandmothers, and that this is part of a tradition and a way of life that has to be preserved. And there’s nothing that I will do as president of the United States that will in any way encroach on the ability of sportsmen to continue that tradition.”

Notice his position is that the Second Amendment was written only to protect my right to duck hunt or shoot paper targets. I guess my inalienable rights to Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness are not so inalienable since Obama doesn't believe I have a right to defend them.

Make no mistake. An Obama presidency along with a Democrat congress will be relentless in its attempts to negate the Second Amendment. The Democrat party has always lied about its anti-Second Amendment position because the truth is a political loser. Obama is no different
