well this is the kind of shit that happens when democrats are in power.
Not to split hairs about this with you or anything brother, but the "Brady Bill" was named after James Brady, who was Press Secretary for Ronald Reagan(a Republican), and the dude(as you know) who was shot in the head by Hinkley during the assassination attempt on Rons life in 1980. It was
pushed by the Republicans, mainly Brady's wife Sara, but was
signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993.
My point is this: Political affiliations have nothing to do with why this law was passed. These are the kind of laws that appeal to "soccer moms", and politicians never cease trying to pander to that demographic, for whatever reason. I think that these Woman want the world to be all duckies, bunnies, raindrops & roses, and when they hear shit-laws like this being passed, no matter how USELESS and INEFFECTIVE they may be, they do
sound good, so these women naively think they will make the slightest bit of difference on the crime rate when in the real world they make NONE. The Politicains are smart enough to know that these frivilous Bills
won't make a difference though, but they cater to voters who are too dumb to know that they will NOT. Either party would've done it in my opinion.
This is what happens when you make decisions based on emotions, and not logic. In my opinion, women do this a lot more than men. Fucked up part about it is, is that these testicle-less Men don't have the cajones to tell them to sit down & shut up for some reason, and that is sometinmes how we end up with laws like these. You can chalk-up the legal drinking age being 21 in all States to the same scenario. Can you say Elizabeth Dole???
