Anti-Civil Rights Group Loses, Declares Victory
The Brady Campaign (formerly Handgun Control, Inc.) weird way of twisting things. Dick Heller (of victorious Heller case fame) was finally successful in legally registering his gun with the Washington, D.C. government. The organization formerly known as Handgun Control, Inc., of course, opposed the Heller decision and would have preferred that he not have been allowed to legally own a gun.
Yet somehow they try to twist Dick Heller's win as a victory them because "this voluntary act of gun registration hasn't shredded the Constitution even a little bit." Uh, guys, you got your butts whooped by the Supreme Court. Did anyone there notice? And it wasn't exactly "voluntary". He had to submit to registration to stay legal. And, oh yeah, don't bet the mortgage on that registry withstanding further lawsuits. Hat tip to Sebastian.
