Brady Campaign lawsuits against online ammo dealers aim to cripple 2nd Amendment

At the very least, this suit is intended to lay the groundwork for making it impossible to buy ammunition online. Shoot any "oddball" calibers, that are unlikely to be found at any local shops? You're out of luck . . . and out of ammo. And that is the whole idea.

A reloading competency test would be required for membership.; September 18, 2014 at 8:38 AM

Refusing to sell ammo to me !!! . Frustrating to say the least. I am no newbie. Hunting license since 1972. Pistol permit since 1978. Army Cold Warrior 74-78,West Germany,11B20. Any Time, Any Where, Any Place, Bar None !!! Back in 1974 , I never realized I would be dealing with home grown Communists, Marxists, Progressives and Collectivists. From the Governor to the Mayor. Bragging we are a Collectivist/Progressive society. I am no dam citizen of the world. I am AMERICAN !!! I was born in a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. The Tree of Liberty surely needs refreshing !!! These are times that tries mens souls !!!; September 18, 2014 at 10:18 AM

Home depot is now liable when someone is killed with a wrench, Dick's Sporting Goods would liable for baseball bat injuries and the local supermarket would be liable for selling the bottle of wine or six pack that "Joe" used to get drunk and cause an car accident that kills somebody.

Totally meritless and should get tossed from court. Unfortunately the businesses will have to spend money on lawyers to respond to the suits. The courts should toss the suits AND make the plaintiffs pay the defendents legal costs for the frivilous suits that waste the court's time.; September 18, 2014 at 12:23 PM

Informed42 said...: No surprise the lawyers are jumping on it at all. Remember that 99 percent of the lawyers give the rest a bad name.

The U.S. has over 80 percent of the lawyers in the world !! That might be an equally right percentage of why our government, courts and country have gotten so fucked up !!; September 19, 2014 at 9:44 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
