Did anyone else get this email?

It's from the Brady Bunch. I guess because I filled out that survey that was posted here a little while back. Huge crock of liberals (sh*t). They didn't see the D.C. law being overturned as correct according to the 2nd amendment. This is how phucked up these goofballs are. I figured I'd copy it here for others to get a good laugh.

Dear robert,

Brady Gun Law Defense Fund [image]Last week, a Federal Appeals Court overturned Washington D.C.’s long-standing restrictions on handguns — a decision that endangers all of America’s gun laws.

This case is most likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court and we have a tidal wave of work to do before it gets there.

This battle — to its very core — is the most important battle we have ever waged. We need your help today to build a strong Brady Gun Law Defense Fund to save America’s gun laws.

This fight is so critical to the safety and sanity of our nation that an anonymous donor has extended his challenge and will match dollar for dollar all gifts to this Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Your gift will be fully tax deductible.

The threat to all our gun laws is truly unprecedented. The hypocrisy of the ruling is astounding.

What is at stake for you and your community? An emboldened gun lobby will use the ruling to challenge strong local, state and federal gun laws.

We must prepare for an onslaught of lawsuits in which gun laws will be challenged under this new reading of the Second Amendment — a strategy the gun lobby rarely used because of past legal decisions … until now. And, if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses itself and adopts the “individual right to bear arms” view approved by the Federal Appeals Court, all good gun laws everywhere could be at risk …

... from the long-standing machine gun ban … to the 1968 Gun Control Act … to the Brady Background Check Law.

… to your local and state laws … like the ones in California and New Jersey banning Assault Weapons … and many more.

These and many other life-saving laws promoting public safety are at risk. And we need to be ready for an immediate onslaught of challenges and fight them tooth and nail. We need your help today with a tax-deductible gift!

Why is this ruling so radical? Because the decision defies almost 70 years of legal precedent. All courts before this — save one — have ruled that the Second Amendment is not an individual right to bear arms, and this is the first Federal Appeals Court ever to declare a gun law unconstitutional based on the Second Amendment.

In her dissent, Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson wrote that Second Amendment rights relate to “Those militia whose continued vitality is required to safeguard the individual state.” Unlike Judge Henderson, the two judge majority ruled against decades of legal precedent…

… And completely disregarded the democratically-expressed will of the people of the District of Columbia, depriving D.C. citizens of a strict handgun law enacted thirty years ago.

Talk about judicial activism! We can’t help but note the unbelievable hypocrisy here too. Conservatives cry and gnash their teeth about activism from the bench. This decision is judicial activism at its worst.

Judge Silberman, who wrote the majority opinion, is well-known for his close ties to the right-wing. Now — with quintessential judicial activism from the bench — the gun lobby threatens to achieve through the courts what it has been unable to do in Congress.

This is going to be a long, hard fight, but with your help we will save our nation’s gun laws. We will keep you up-to-date as we confront this extraordinary threat to our efforts to reduce gun violence. But right now, we need your support to build our Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Remember that right now your gift to this fund will be doubled! Please act now.

Sincerely,
Your Friends at StoptheNRA.com

P.S. Your gift will be worth double when you give to our Brady Gun Law Defense Fund. Please give a tax-deductible gift today.

This my favorite line...... And completely disregarded the democratically-expressed will of the people of the District of Columbia, depriving D.C. citizens of a strict handgun law enacted thirty years ago.

I'm guessing since D.C. has a reputation of being a high rate of murder area, the citizens would like to be as well armed as the criminals are. :roll:

I got that email too.

I politely asked to be removed from their email list as I no longer support their views.

I told them that major media had mis-informed me about guns and I no longer support their beliefs. I went on to state that they should be ashamed of trying to prohibit and banish the 2nd amendment and that I might now start supporting the NRA.

I had trouble not laughing as I wrote it.

Haven't got that email yet. Man, that was hard to read. Pisses me off! :evil:

[robsterclaw]

I don't mind being on their email list. I get moveon.org emails, PETA and a couple of others. It's easier to calmly kick a liberals ass in a conversation when you know what information they are going to use on you and have the facts to squash them. I shut my father in law up quite often. :mrgreen:

One can only hope. Unfortunetly, I think they are smarted then that and its just another element of bs.

Being the supreme court would make its ruling based off the constitution, the statements from the founding fathers, and its gop controlled - the results would have far reaching effects due to precedence. Possibly overturn every gun ban nationwide, maybe even repeal the '86 awb among other things.

Thats been my hope for over a year now, that some dumb idiot will bring something like that to the supreme court bench.

The '86 ban being repealed would be awesome. I wonder how long it would take class III dealers to order up big in case it passed later on.

Glad to see I am not the only one on the mailing lists and it's not because I support them. :twisted:

Heard about this the day it happened. They had someone from the Brady side saying that they are extremely nervous that the SC will take the case because of the conservative slat in the SC right now.

The question that would have to be answered is: is the 2nd speaking exclusively to members of a "Well Regulated" militia and/or the private citizen.

That is a question the pro and anti-gun organizations have been wanting the SC to address for 3 decades now. They have to date avoided taking cases that would force them to answer it.

This is going to be fun, should the SC uphold the FAC's decision, there could not legally any restrictions on the type of weapons owned by the person or (if they deem it only militia's) militia's.

Watch out folks, this is the one that will end the debate for a long while to come, one way or another. We'll have States Rights issues either way it turns out.

"Talk about judicial activism! We can’t help but note the unbelievable hypocrisy here too. Conservatives cry and gnash their teeth about activism from the bench. This decision is judicial activism at its worst."

When the judges rule in their favor they claim that it's the system working like it should. When the3 judges rule against them then they are up in arms about judicial activism.
