    Brady is sick

    I get really tired of seeing Paul Helmke rush to the local papers whenever an illegal shooting, with an illegal gun, owned illegally takes place. He rushes in with a pre-written opinion piece telling people, "yeah, he broke a lot of laws, but if we only had more laws maybe your loved ones would still be alive! lets pass more gun control laws!"

    This is a disgusting way to promote an agenda that, on its face, would not work. I can't count on both hands how many laws were broken here, but Paul Helmke seems to think one or two more would've made the difference.

    Paul Helmke, shame on you, and shame on the brady campaign for exploiting every incident like this in order to further your own political agenda. You care about guns , not about lives. If you looked, you'd see that this shooting occured despite all the "common sense" gun controls you have lobbied for in the past. Gun controls you told us would save us before. When it happened again, you proposed even more controls, which didn't work, and here you are telling us your previous life-saving laws didn't work and we need more. You don't care about the people, Paul, or you would've admitted long ago that your controls don't work. You don't care about the people, Paul, or you would be asking yourself what DOES work since all your previous ideas have failed so terribly.

    As near as I can tell, Paul, your ideas for these laws have only managed, over the years, to create more victims in higher numbers.

    Thanks for nothing, Paul. Now go away.
