Brady's big announcement

[safewaysecurity]

Some would suggest that a counter protest could be beneficial to getting our message out. Our numbers would surely be greater if organized properly. Perhaps groups of people standing in solidarity with their tactical high-lumens flashlights aglow would surely eclipse the candle holders?

Not a counter protest. Stand in the same crowd but hold up pro self-defense signs.

In 2009, the last year there is data available, there were 38,500 deaths attributable to vehicles. Assuming there are the same number of vehicles as guns, vehicles seem to be approximately 3 times more dangerous. In actuality, there are probably more guns than vehicles.

Their argument would be that people don't use their guns as much as they use their cars and that also we have registration and licensing and insurance for driving a vehicle and that the same should at least apply to guns.

[J.S.Riesch]

This is discriminatory! Why do they only care about people that were killed by other people using guns? What about people who were killed by other people with knives, cars or wet noodles? We should sue them for being discriminatory!

In seriousness, the Brady Campaign is weak. Their total YouTube video uploads are just south of 500,000. Hickok45's total YouTube video uploads are just above 44 million.

This just proves that your average gun owner is infinitely more careful when using their toys than your average driver. Gun related incidents are generally deliberate, not accidents as in the automotive world.

Edit: You can make numbers say just about anything.....let's not talk just about the guns, I wonder how many hundreds of millions or rounds of ammunition are expended each year (I try to do my part)?? Each round has the capability of causing damage. If you factor that in, it could be argued that guns are one of the safest things in America.

I like your math.

even better hold up your tactical flahlights on strobe, or ultra high beam 180+ lumens or higher. Shine the light of truth on self defense and disarmament

90% of all statistics are completely incorrect.

60% of the time they are correct every time.

What I love is that the Brady crew and the main stream media never seem to mention stories of people using their guns to effectively protect themselves and their loved ones against criminals. I would venture to say that the number of lives saved by guns might just out weigh the number of lives wrongfully taken.

The "Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence" needs to stop focusing on the "Gun" part of their title and more on the "Violence" part.

The number of lives saved by the presence of a firearm FAR outn umber the number of lives lost where firearms are involved/ by conservative estimatse at least 10:1

FBI figures show 15:1.

Percentage of firearms used in total crime (including suicides) is about 0.003%, assuming each crime used a different gun.

More then half the homicides are drug and gang related.

Women's chances of stopping rape or sexual assault increase 2700% with a firearm.

90% of all statistics are completely incorrect.

And 86% of all internet statistics are made up on the spot.

How many of the people killed with guns are gang members?

Also If i light a gun candle is it pro gun or anti gun?

[jamesob]

i'll light a candle only to make my room smell like pumpkin pie.

Here's their candle-light vigil...

They are dancing in the blood of the Tucson victims...AGAIN...what's new and improved about that? Also, Dennis doesn't look overtly motivated or enthusiastic about what he is doing. He has less passion in his voice than any other of their officials I have seen to date.

Hahaha....I must say, that smells like pure gasoline.
