Not Even 24 Hours

Do we have all the facts – the real facts and not just suppositions – on the murders in El Paso or Dayton yesterday?

Of course the answer is no.

But does that stop the gun prohibitionists from dancing in the blood of the victims and from raising money?

Again, a big no.

This email was received less than 24 hours before the murderer started his rampage in El Paso.

John, Two deadly mass shootings have occurred within 24 hours of one another. The total death toll has now surpassed 29 people. Families grieve. Communities are at a loss. Our hearts are with Dayton and El Paso as they deal with this enormous tragedy. John, this is ENOUGH. The time to act is NOW. We’re asking you to take two important actions today to help combat this senseless violence. Join a Brady Chapter Our chapters are the heart and soul of our efforts and the ‘boots on the ground’ in this battle against the epidemic of gun violence. If you’re already involved, please forward this to a friend and ask them to join. Fund the Fight We need your financial help to stand up to the NRA, the cowardly politicians, the hateful rhetoric, the gun manufacturers, the reckless dealers, and everyone else who puts money and special interest before our loved ones. Help fund the fight today. Congress could end this in an hour—let’s demand they do so! Thank you, Brady

I am reminded of the response that attorney Joseph Welch gave to Sen. Joe McCarthy during the Army-McCarthy hearings.

Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

The answer for the Brady Campaign and others of their ilk is a resounding NO!
