Nobody claimed it did.
My claim is that the batty bunch was founded by republicans, not the republican party.
"the republican founded republican led "gun violence prevention" group"
And heres where I stand corrected.
"the republican founded, and previous to their new guy (a very recent change), republican led "gun violence prevention" group"
There, ya happy?
Now you stand corrected:
"the republican founded, and previous to their new guy (a very recent change), republican led "gun violence prevention" group"
that continues to try to prevent gun violence by limiting the rights and choices of those that by and large aren't the perpetrators of said gun violence.
This is a group that has deliberately included adults in thier "statistics" to inflate them. No organization that has a legitimate intent to reduce gun violence would do such a thing.
This is a group that claims to want to prevent gun violence, yet gives grades on a per state basis based on how much they restrict guns rather than how high or low the level of gun crime/gun violence is in that state. Again, no organization that has a legitimate intent to reduce gun violence would do such a thing.
This is a group that claimed that civilian owned 50 caliber rifles which are esentially never used in crime could shoot down aircraft, which is a huge lie, and used that false rationale for stamping thier feet and screaming ban at the tops of thier lungs.
Again, no organization that has a legitimate intent to reduce gun violence would do such a thing.
This is a group that opposes concealed carry, even though police as a group are convicted of a larger number of crimes than CCW holders.
Once again, no organization that has a legitimate intent to reduce gun violence would do such a thing.
This is a group that claimed that "assault weapons" were the choice of criminals, in spite of the fact that ALL rifles - which 99 percent of so called "assault weapons" are - are used in less than 3 percent of all firearm homicides, and used that false rationale for stamping thier feet and screaming ban at the tops of thier lungs.
Once again, no organization that has a legitimate intent to reduce gun violence would do such a thing.
They may as well be "the brady campain to reduce guns", because 90 plus percent of the things they stump for are aimed squarely at doing just that.
And that makes them no friend to Democrats, no matter how much they donate. Those things, in reality, will cause far more harm than good, for any Democrat outside a few isolated antigun strongholds, that embraces that bunch, or its cronies, or their BS, at this stge of the game.
