Priceless

The Northern Muckraker clues me into something that, if it didn't affect all of our rights so badly, would be flat out hilarious. At the very least, it clues us in to the liberal, gun-banning mindset.

What am I getting at? Sarah Brady, a leader of the VPC/Brady Campaign/Handgun Control/whatever they're calling themselves this week, is a smoker.

How is this hilarious? Simple. Tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of people annually; pretty much about half of the people who use it. On the other hand, firearms kill (on an annualized/lifetime risk basis) about about 1% of those who come into contact with them.

So Sarah Brady is straining at a gnat and swallowing--or at least smoking--a Camel.

OK, this IS flat out hilarious. But it still ticks me off.

They should require a background check and a 5 day waiting period!

Sit tight, it's coming.

This does clear up a mystery, BB. For years I'd always assumed that Sarah Brady had to be smoking something.

maybe Obama will place a tax on packs of ammo, just to make it even.

But Mark, you weren't thinking that it was something legal!
