Sarah Brady dies

Her husband was essentially "dead' from the waist down. I think this was a very frustrated woman.
It's in the same spectrum of reasons the NAACP and the Southern Poverty Center brought up the death of William Pierce and will eventually discuss the death of David Duke.
Bradys' motives were selfish. She did no work on gun control until something happened that affected her. Then she used lies and misinformation to diminish the constitutional rights of everyone.
If I were to post here that I was going on a crusade to destroy your constitutional rights the word "evil" may come to your mind. Would you change your mind about me, if, after working for decades to crush your rights, I croaked? No? Good!
I wondered this as well. Doesn't matter though, does it?
1 - because she is now dead
1a - because we now have one less immaterial figurehead to be tossed at us
1b - because it has been instructive to see how we deal with the passing of an enemy
2 - because it has been instructive to see how the death of an immaterial figurehead was dealt with by her side
Either we are better than them or we are the same as them. (It would be impossible to be worse, wouldn't it?)
stay safe.
Right on time!

I guess it's a good thing it wasn't a man who passed then! Or was it...
But on a serious note, I have zero sympathy for her death. My sympathy is to her family for regardless of what she was they likely still loved her and are likely grieving. But her actual death? Not an ounce of sympathetic care in me.

Years ago Cincinnati paid Ms. Brady to come to town and speak in favor of an "assault weapons" ordinance the city was going to ram through after a sham of a public hearing at City Hall. After the meeting she was heading back to her hotel and was near the top of a LONG set of steps to the first floor. Some of the police brass had just been arguing about who was going to walk "that b****" (their words) back to the hotel and nobody wanted the assignment. Then they wondered off.
So there I was, with a chance to push an unguarded Ms. Brady down those stairs, which I'm sure would have been fatal. Honestly it left me with mixed feelings afterwards.
In later years at other locales I noticed she always had (presumably) armed bodyguards. Yeah, she wasn't a hypocrite or anything.
Having said all that I hope her death was not one of long suffering, older I get the harder it is to wish that on ANYBODY.

I won't speak ill of the dead.
That is all.

It is humane to regret that a fellow human being has passed from this realm...
It is silly to ignore the sigh of relief if that fellow human being was your adversary....

I will show Sarah the same respect I gave Ted Kennedy when he passed. I am sorry for the families loss, but that is as far as it goes.

They've "raised a conversation" which as it turns out was to our advantage. I love when totalitarians come into a fight over confident.

Do see them as getting better inspite of the best efforts of the antis.
Still not where we could be/should be though.

I sit here thoroughly enjoying my second night, of what will likely be several nightly Glencairns of George T Stagg to this delightful news.

I think that's clear. Since we can no longer ridicule the dead, it's important to remember how effectively they ridiculed themselves.
Seriously though, there's no reason to celebrate her death. Brady was never dangerous -- her ideas were, and they live on.
Fortunately, those ideas have been losing ground for some time now.
Long live liberty!

Almost sounds like you just created a straw man argument and knocked it down.
Our rights are still infringed, but we're doing *way* better than we were just thirty years ago. For those with short memories, try to carry, open or concealed, in 1985 in almost any state and you'd have been thrown to the ground and arrested.
To pretend we haven't made great strides seems a bit silly. That said, there's still more work to do. But hey, nothing wrong with acknowledging good trends.

A absolute and unrestricted right is the goal to be sure, but do not subscribe to me a sentiment that I have not once espoused. You are free to search this site to expose me as a liar via my words.

Ugh. Bourbon. Why do people insist on cluttering up perfectly good corn whiskey with other grains? Corn whiskey ought to be clear, and never see the inside of a barrel or other grains. For heavens sakes, if you're gonna make something that is at least 51% corn, just go ahead and use all corn. Its not like corn is scarce or anything.
On the thread topic, I suppose I should extend my sympathies to the family--Sarah Brady worked hard on infringing their rights, too. So, I can sympathize with them on that point.

The only reason I drink stump hole is due to the fact that I ran out of good TN bourbon.<shakes head>
