Brady Campaign Battles Against Concealed Carry Bill
http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/crime/brady-campaign-battles-against-concealed-carry-bill
This article was apparently written by the Brady Campaign. I read it and was so enraged that I just had to post a rebuttal. I don't like to accuse real human beings who have feelings and a conscience of waging a deliberate misinformation campaign, but sadly it was necessary to do so.
Some excerpts:
"'We urge the American people to say no to giving licenses to kill to violent people, who are waiting for opportunities to unleash their firepower on strangers, public servants, and loved ones alike,' said Dennis Henigan, Acting President of the Brady Campaign."
". . . some of the worst concealed carry killers . . [include] the notorious Tucson shooter, Jared Lee Loughner . . ."
Anyway here is my response:

As usual, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Lawful Gun Ownership spins deliberate lies!
They 'claim' that Jared Lee Loughner was one of the worst concealed carry killers. Well what they don't tell you is that virtually all, if not all, gun crimes are committed by criminals who carry concealed (without a license as in Loughner's case) as that has been the modus operandi of criminals for centuries.
The Brady Campaign is deliberately leading the readers of its article into believing that Jared Lee Loughner was a licensed concealed weapons holder. Read the article again ... yes you were duped, weren't you?
Here is the Brady Campaign's deliberate omission: Jared Lee Loughner DID NOT HAVE a concealed carry license. Period! Full stop!
The Brady Campaign is intentionally equating unlicensed concealed carry by the bad guys with licensed concealed carry by the good guys. The difference - you guessed it - a license!
Given the actual facts, the very best that the Brady Campaign could possibly argue is that since Jared Lee Loughner could have gotten a license (even though he didn't), it follows that law-abiding citizens should not be able to get a license. In other words, the Brady Campaign is promoting victim disarmament as a crime-fighting strategy.
Shame on you Brady Campaign! Shame, shame, shame!
