Why they’ll lose

Paul Helmke has a new post up at the Brady Campaign blog which I believe, if you really think about it, shows why they’ll lose: they don’t care about all violence, just violence committed with guns. They don’t do a damn thing about violence in general. It’s all about “how we as a society relate to guns”. They don’t give a damn about enabling battered wives to defend themselves against their abusers. They don’t give a damn about giving people the best defense for themselves from someone wielding a bat, or a tire iron, or fists. They don’t seem to care if you get the same thing Matthew Sheppard got as long as no guns are involved in the violent act.

Why? That’s what I want to know. Why are they happy to let other forms of violence run rampant, just so long as no one uses a gun?

Why, Paul?
