| SACRAMENTO -- California's gun laws are the toughest of any state in the nation, but they could not prevent this week's East Oakland shooting that left seven people dead. |

| The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, a group that advocates for stricter gun control laws, claimed Monday that George Zimmerman, the man who shot Trayvon Martin, still has his gun despite press reports to the contrary. One month after the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman still has his gun, said group president Dan Gross in a press release. The statement then goes on to blame the National Rifle Association for laws that allowed Zimmerman to keep his weapon even after the shooting. None of this appears to be true. Last Friday, the Orlando Sentinel reported that Zimmermans... |

| The Brady Anti Gun Rights Campaign has ramped up its opposition to firearms on college campuses again after yet another defeat in the Courtroom. This comes after the Colorado Supreme Court held that the University of Colorado had limited power to ban guns on campus after the State passed a concealed carry law. A Colorado lower Court Judge upheld the ban but he was reversed by the State's highest Court. The new President of the organization said, "This is a dangerous ruling. Lives have the potential to be lost as a result. We urge parents, students, and faculty to demand... |

| Last Thursday, the Brady Campaign released its annual "scorecards," ranking each state on how draconian its gun laws are (with, naturally, the more tyrannical those laws are, the better). Their press release, starting with the very first word, praises California's ultra-restrictive gun laws: California continues to blaze legislative trails in adopting lifesaving gun laws, rising to a high of 81 points (out of a possible 100) on the 2011 Brady State Scorecard rankings, while too many states remain in the Zero-Sum Club with the weakest gun laws, the Brady Campaign announced today. In comments at John Richardson's No Lawyers -... |
Communist China Calls For Stricter Gun Control There..Sounds Good To U.S. Anti Gun Groups

| It is ironic that in the country that invented gunpowder and possibly the first firearm, the Fire Spear, Communist China is complaining again that there are too many guns on Mainland Chinas streets. Red Chinese officials have just announced another crackdown on private gun ownership there. Just like the perennial Five Year Plans in the Soviet Union, there have always been annual plans to catch Chinese who own firearms. Self defense there? Forget it. Its a country that is one of the worlds largest manufacturers of firearms, and where many guns wind up in the black market because of lax... |

| Dan Gross, the newly hired president of the Brady Campaign, counts the shooting of his brother Matt in 1997 at the Empire State Building as a seminal event in in his life. He may not call it that but he left a high paying partnership at JWT (formerly known as J. Walter Thompson Advertising) to start what eventually became the Center to Prevent Youth Violence. From his bio at the Brady Campaign: Dan founded CPYV after his brother was severely wounded in a shooting at the Empire State Building in February 1997. Prior to co-founding and directing the Center to... |

| New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker was so upset over dropping a crucial pass late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI, he nearly started crying at the podium. Welker isn't going to get any pity from quarterback Tom Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, though. After her prayers for a Patriots' championship went unanswered, Bunchen lashed out at the team's receiving corps for failing to haul in her husband's passes. While waiting for an elevator at Lucas Oil Stadium, Bundchen was being heckled by Giants fans when she spoke to people in... |

Call for Brady Campaign to Stop "Frivolous" Gun Lawsuits

| A Connecticut Appellate Court recently issued an order dismissing an appeal in Gilland v. Sportsmens Outpost, Inc. a Superior Court decision granting a firearm retailers motion to dismiss all claims against it pursuant to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). The PLCAA was passed in 2005 with broad bipartisan support. The purpose of the act is to prevent firearms manufacturers and retailers from being held liable for crimes committed with their products. In this case, the plaintiffs, who were represented by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, sought to hold the firearms retailer liable in... |
Brady Campaign's 'too many victims' exposes true agenda

This past Sunday, on the anniversary of the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and 18 others (six fatally), the Brady Campaign held several candlelight vigils across the country, in observance of what they called the "Too Many Victims Lost to Gun Violence." The Brady Campaign expects Americans to accept as an article of faith that "stronger" gun laws would dramatically reduce the number of said victims--presumably reducing that number to an "acceptable" level. That, of course, begs the question of what constitutes an "acceptable" number of people shot and wounded or killed. Luckily, we have Brady Campaign board member...
