More stupidity from the Brady Bunch/MMM
In the first state to pass the so-called “Stand Your Ground” law last year, it is expected to be a defense so far to three people: A tow truck driver who shot an unarmed man, a suspected gang member who shot another suspected gang member, and someone involved in a suspected felony drug deal.
That’s been Florida’s experience with legislation some Minnesota legislators want to pass here. And Sarah Brady and local citizen activists are urging Minnesotans to fight it.
“Let me be clear: People are dead because of this law elsewhere, and the people who killed them are using the law to try to get away with murder,” said Brady, the wife of former Reagan Press Secretary James Brady, who was shot in the assassination attempt on the former president. “This law encourages the most aggressive people in society to act more aggressively than is necessary. I urge the Legislature to reject this.”
Is she really so stupid as to suggest that gang bangers and drug dealers wouldn’t have shot one another had this law not been enacted?

Yes, Sarah Brady IS that stupid. She BELIEVES these lies. She’s also self-righteous.
The combination of the two is enough to defend her from anything but molecular acid and silver bullets.
Or she could be sealed in a Kryptonite coffin and buried beneath the Mariannas trench.

+1 to what Robert said. I’d add “purely evil” to the description, too. How else to describe someone who lobbies so strenuously to restrict the natural human right to effective self-defense?
