I know the awards they aren't getting.....

The one for predicting that the Second Amendment required membership in a militia, and that it doesn't apply to state and local gov't.

The award for accurately predicting that constitutional question goes to......?

Where is the waving head for Mr. Kilmer? You Sir won a ruling that incorporated the second amendment (before going en banc) IN THE NINTH CIRCUIT of all places. That was one of the all time biggest milestones of civil rights wins IMHO. That win was slaying the dragon in his own den, now his family is after you, but we know you will win again.

The Friends of the NRA dinner was much less formal. But, Chuck Michel spoke, you didn't have to dress up, it was on the Hornet and best of all Gun Raffles!

I know I had more fun than anyone there had!


And it doesn't hurt to be on the same side as the Founders of our Great Nation.

Let's identify some people...


Charles Dyke and Juliet Leftwich

Charles Dyke wrote LCAV's amicus for McDonald. Why they're honoring him completely escapes me. Did the Captain of the Titanic get an award, too?

Juliet Leftwich is LCAV's Legal Director.


Robyn Thomas and Jeffrey Toobin

Robyn Thomas is LCAV's Executive Director ($96k/yr)

Jeffrey Toobin is author of The Nine which had a pretty unflattering portrait of Justice Clarence Thomas. I wonder what he though of the dissent....


Two of LCAV's Board of Directors are at this table. William Kissinger (hitchhiking) and George Hisert (facing left).

All in all, it looks like a fun dinner.

I wish we could have been there.....

Awesome! A room full of rich white lawyers congratulating themselves. This is the liberal elite. The best schools, the powerful positions, the most money. More dangerous than a hundred million mom type organizations. Cause they know the law. How to use it, how to make it work for them.
Jesus, people like this give me the creeps.
There may be plenty of anti's out there, but these are the true believers.
I'm glad these type of collaborators are in the minority...
Maybe i give them too much credit?

And does Julie Leftwitch have crazy eyes?

Nice collection of smiling fools. Little do the CA taxpayers know how mouch tax money these people have and will waste on pointless and worthless litigation based upon false premises and self-enabling marketing.

Well, we can help with that, can't we?

Part of me wants to photoshop mustaches on them, with little silly but catchy phrased thought bubbles. The other part of me would love to buy them a drink and listen to whatever they'd like to talk about.

Know your enemy. Which means that everyone in this country should know them.

[IGOTDIRT4U]

Well, we can help with thay, can't we?

lol, yes we can.

It kills me that I know some of these supporters. But I don't dare speak to them about it in public. Sad days.

But, there is always next year's dinner!

Agreed as to the latter. Especially if they lay out their litigation strategy in detail.

Better to educate local politicians on what listening to LCAV actually costs.

It cost San Francisco about a million dollars. The costs of defending it's gun laws are going to cripple DC. Who know's what's going to happen to Chicago? And Cleveland is now taking advice from those hacks....does anyone think that Cleveland really has the money to spend on litigation?

The fact remains that LCAV loses many more cases than it wins. I think that they're running a 2 and 9 record.

If you were a city politician and Robyn Thomas came to you with a plan for more "reasonable gun laws" and you KNEW that you ran the risk of being sued -and if you were, that the odds were that you'd lose, how would you react to their offer?

Education.

LCAV is selling snake oil.

When is Facebook going to put in the "thumbs down" option? Some may like it, but I assume that an equal number would "hate it".

I had a phobia. My shrink had never heard of it, so we named it Knobophobia.
I was afraid of being naked, bending over and backing into a cold doorknob. A little exposure therapy and I am no longer afraid. I highly recommend exposure therapy.

It's amazing. Every time I have seen someone admitted for a "retained rectal foreign body" they CLAIM to have been walking around naked and "didn't see" that huge bottle/hairbrush/dildo sitting on the chair before they "sat down on it"...

True story...
