Gottlieb declared. \u201cThe right to keep and bear arms is at the core of this anti-gun campaign, and Dan Gross knows it.\u201d.<br \/>.<br \/>The Brady Campaign is one of several so-called \u201cgun safety\u201d organizations that have already met with Vice President Biden and his gun control task force. Gottlieb challenged that definition..<br \/>.<br \/>\u201cThe Brady Campaign and other such organizations are all about gun prohibition, not safety,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re not interested in safety when all they want is to disarm law-abiding Americans and taking the best means of self-defense away from crime victims while doing nothing to disarm criminals..<br \/>.<br \/>\u201cThe White House calling the gun prohibition lobby a \u2018gun safety\u2019 group is tantamount to suggesting that Ted Bundy was an advocate for battered women,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In comments to reporters, Gross insisted that \u201cWords like \u2018comprehensive\u2019 and \u2018broad\u2019 don\u2019t mean taking guns away from law-abiding citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat statement is so demonstrably untrue it\u2019s ridiculous that he expects anyone to believe it,\u201d Gottlieb said. \u201cBanning an entire class of firearms based primarily on cosmetics is taking them away from people. Imposing extremist regulations on the exercise of a civil right amounts to taking that right away and treating gun ownership like a privilege.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAmong gun prohibitionists,\u201d he concluded, \u201cthe definition of safety is disarmament.<\/strong> Sure they\u2019re not debating \u2018around the Second Amendment,\u2019 they\u2019re trying to erode it and ultimately erase it from the Bill of Rights. We\u2019re not going to let them get away with it.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Gross, the president of the Brady Campaign, said yesterday after Biden&#8217;s meeting with him and other gun prohibitionists&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[394,395,1461],"class_list":["post-2689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-alan-gottlieb","tag-ccrkba","tag-dan-gross"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2689"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2689\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8704,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2689\/revisions\/8704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
