The Brady Campaign's affiliate, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions and membership dues to the Brady Center are deductible as charitable donations for federal income tax purposes.

good enough for me.

"VPC is intentionally dishonest and they know it." Pullo Jan 2013 #22

They sure were ahead of their time, these miltary guns have made big splash lately MightyMopar Jan 2013 #37

Muscle cars, pony cars, sporty cars, they'll have high insurance rates cause they wreck a lot MightyMopar Jan 2013 #53

No, this press release is qualitatively different from past suggestions. AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #5

So you're supportive of this legislative agenda? ellisonz Jan 2013 #6

Most of it. AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #8

Maybe it was a leadership change. ManiacJoe Jan 2013 #13

a good start, but still needs work gejohnston Jan 2013 #9

National Rifle Association (NRA), has systematically suppressed data about gun violence MightyMopar Jan 2013 #31

they can research all they want gejohnston Jan 2013 #35

So are you a statistician or are you just getting your talking points from the "highroad"? MightyMopar Jan 2013 #42

literate enough to read the methods used gejohnston Jan 2013 #44

I think all DUer's need to go over to the "highroad" and see what a cesspool it is MightyMopar Jan 2013 #46

Just read an article about Biden's taskforce iiibbb Jan 2013 #11

Out of curiosity, how many feral dogs have you had to shoot so far? Starboard Tack Jan 2013 #14

None iiibbb Jan 2013 #17

I am under no illusion about the dangers of feral beasts. Starboard Tack Jan 2013 #23

I don't have a feel for that. iiibbb Jan 2013 #25

In my case... 57_TomCat Jan 2013 #19

Yeah... I'm lukewarm to the idea of mag limits... iiibbb Jan 2013 #21

I agree on all those points raidert05 Jan 2013 #16

I think so. But hasn't this been Brady Campaign policy for a long time? geckosfeet Jan 2013 #28

It's absurd to compare Brady campaign to NRA, Brady's don't have multi millions of $ behind them. MightyMopar Jan 2013 #29

actually they do gejohnston Jan 2013 #33

NRA and ALEC are both funded from big business and often act in concert , Brady is just a foundation MightyMopar Jan 2013 #36

no gejohnston Jan 2013 #38

Where does the Brady Campaign get its money? MOST OF THE SAME PLACES NPR GETS IT'S MONEY+SOROS! MightyMopar Jan 2013 #39

NPR is funded by listeners like me. gejohnston Jan 2013 #40

Scumbag sites like "thehighroad" is where all the RBKA extremist talking points are coming from MightyMopar Jan 2013 #41

Better Business Bureau is the same as gejohnston Jan 2013 #45

So the Brady Camapign doesn't meet BBB standards for charity. Who cares about that but you MightyMopar Jan 2013 #47

I would hope donors and supporters gejohnston Jan 2013 #48

Check out the Better Businees Bureau on Ripoff report .com MightyMopar Jan 2013 #49

Brady campaign doesn't sell itself as a charity so using your BBB metrics is kind of misleading MightyMopar Jan 2013 #52

They are according to the IRS gejohnston Jan 2013 #54

Good enough for someone pushing a misleading agenda that Brady and NRA are equal MightyMopar Jan 2013 #55

I liked to hear what this is about: Bay Boy Jan 2013 #43
