"We're not a gun ban organization." - republican paul helmke - president of the brady bunch

Yet helmke and the brady org fought in SUPPORT of the DC gun ban:

"Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which fought in support of the city's handgun ban..."

And a brady quote that says something completely contrary to recorded history:

“We never supported handgun bans..." - Jennifer Bishop - the Brady Campaign’s national program director for victims and survivors

They also supporteed "assault weapons" bans, which needs no cite.

And they have said about as much about so called "50 caliber sniper rifles":


"There is no justification for allowing such a powerful and deadly weapon to be sold in our neighborhoods."

Does anyone at all buy helmkes statement - "We're not a gun ban organization" ?

Has the brady bunch taken a position publicly on chicagos handgun ban? Have the submitted a "friend of the court" brief in chicago asking to strike down its ban?

Have they submitted one in support?


Just another lying republican and his cronies, to these eyes. Working to decrease gun violence is an honorable goal, but telling lies about how you have been doing it, or attempting to do it...is dishonesty at its worst.


Any one else have any other examples of this sort of dishonesty, or re-written history, from the brady bunch?
