In your face tactics.

Like blatantly lying.

Rustmeister fisks an article by a former CF MD and Brady Bunch exec. In it the author whines that the "gun lobby" is a bunch of meanies who have this nasty habit of not letting them just spread a bunch of misinformation. Kind of like what he tries to do in this article:

George W. Bush signed the law immunizing gun manufacturers against lawsuits,


A law 'immunizing' them? Really? From the Brady Bunch's latest E-mail:

New Lawsuit! Brady Center Takes Alaska Dealer to Court


Oh,I'm sorry Brian. Did I 'disrupt' your article by presenting factual evidence?

These are the reactions of an organization that doesn't want to argue its ideas on a level playing field--it always wants the argument conducted on its terms.


Which explains why the Brady Campaign shut down the comments on its blog when it turned into a pro-firearm discussion site right? Care to discuss what percentage of pro-gun comments are deleted on Huffpo in comparison to anti-gun? Howabout the SCCC inviting Helmke to their convention to debate? Let's talk about "reasoned discourse" shall we?

This might be fun to watch.
