WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama and Joe Biden won the endorsement Monday of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

The group is named after Jim Brady, the press secretary to former President Reagan, who was gravely wounded by a gunman who tried to assassinate Reagan in 1981.

Paul Helmke, the organization's president, said Obama and Biden would strengthen background checks on gun purchasers, get assault weapons off the streets and give law enforcement more tools to stop illegal gun trafficking.

and give law enforcement more tools to stop illegal gun trafficking.

Fascinating. So, they admit that all the law on the books don't do dick for illegal "gun trafficking"? So, when do we start repealing the existing, non-working laws?

And what tools do they want to give them?
Are they planning to build a fence along the whole border or something to stop guns coming in?

[mekender]

they are not opponents of gun violence... they are opponents of guns... remember, in their eyes, every gun owner is a criminal that just hasnt broken the law yet.

They can call it whatever they want but the whold thing boils down to one and only one thing. They are going to try and get all the guns in the public's hands. Either hook or crook it doesn't matter. You cannot have a socalist nation when the people have guns. Period, end of story, set and match.
