Hate groups?

[5.56superman]

Apparently because the second amendment has become a civil right any group that opposes it such as the Brady campaign is now labeled a hate group.

Edit:

Forgot to mention I think this is hilarious.

someone changed their wiki page to display this, it was changed almost immediately.

i think its funny that people are saying all of this... but i also think its a cheap shot on an opponent which im not a fan of. The brady group isnt a hate group as much as MADD isnt a hate group against alcohol consumption... they are however a group of poorly informed, closed minded... dare i say elitists?

The article linked to above has a link to the old version of the wiki page from before it was changed back.

No, they really are a hate group. The difference is this: MADD is Mother's Against Drunk Driving. Drunk driving has been illegal for a long time, and before that it was frowned upon as something jackasses did. MADD spreads awareness of this illegal activity in the hopes to persuade people not to do it by showing the consequences of breaking this law.

The Brady Campaign spreads ill will towards a group of law abiding citizens enjoying their God given right to keep and bear arms as provisioned for in the Constitution of this United States. How often do they also mock and insult lawful citizens? They promote hatred towards gun owners. Hence, Hate Group. The NRA makes mock of them, yes, but the NRA isn't asking us to outlaw non-gun owners, or harass them with nonsense lawsuits, or blame them for every evil thing that happens to us. Brady promotes hate, and that is a fact.


In fact, I think the FUBO guys should come out with some shirts.

The Brady Campaign - Spreading hatred for law abiding gun owners since 1974.

The Brady Campaign - Trying to make rape and murder easier since 1974.

I think they made a very valid point - one I guess the liberals don't want to accept, "Following the incorporation of the 2nd Amendment in the Supreme Court decision McDonald v. Chicago, and the resulting acknowledgment of the right to keep and bear arms as a “fundamental right” of US citizens, the Brady Campaign subsequently met the definition of a hate group due to their stated opposition to an established civil right."

I love it. The Brady people labeled as a "Hate Group". Now, if someone were to become a victim of their hate policy, they could charge them in Federal Court just like someone could if there was a race, sex, age, lifestyle or other federally protected right assault

Actually, from what I've read recently, MADD is pretty bad nowadays. They want to bring back a form of Prohibition, which is also unconstitutional. Even the founder of MADD has said that the organization has gone beyond what she originally intended, and has spoken out against their current direction.

Isn't that the way of a lot of organizations? They take on a different, more radical view of what their founding members visualized.

usually thats what happens because people get way too involved and read way to much into the problem.

What he said. MADD used to be about drunk driving. These days it's a neo-prohibitionist organization.

Ah, my bad. Haven't heard anything about them since high school, and that was a lifetime ago.

I think thats the same thing as the brady campaign ... it started out looking to prevent gun violence... and when they realized that they couldnt because they cant end all crime they just reverted to trying to ban all guns.

Dont get me wrong... i hate the brady campaign just as much as anyone else here... i just think that using the term hate group toward them is stretching the boundaries, and no different then twisting the truth to use it against gun owners.

Brady started out trying to ban handguns under a different name in 1974. (They used the term "control" synonymously with "ban".) Both sides of the gun issues sling mud, but Brady tells onlookers how we are psychos, nutjobs, and potential murderers, etc. That seems to me to be a message of hate.

I don't hate anyone just because they do or do not own a gun. I know a few folks who despise me because I do own a gun. Hmmm.

This. Could not be more true. I personally view this as an opportunity to try and educate them about firearms, the sport of shooting, and the difference between the criminal, and the law abiding citizen.

Didn't they used to be called "Handgun Control, Inc." or was that some other organization?

BTW, I missed your earlier post, but I'd totally buy the "trying to make rape and murder easier since..." t-shirt if somebody printed one up

Way back it was the National Council to Control Handguns in 1974. The changed it to HCI in the late 70s, early 80s, if I remember right. (Had an article on it I clipped from a magazine a while ago, but I can't remember where I put it.) (Too lazy to Google right now. Too hot!)

From Wikipedia:

"The Brady Campaign emerged from Handgun Control, Inc., originally the National Council to Control Handguns (NCCH), and the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence (CPHV). NCCH was founded in 1974 by Dr. Mark Borinsky, a victim of gun violence, and became HCI in 1980."
