Firearms Accountability Counsel Task Force

Post by Curzyk »

I just saw this article and wonder if this new coalition is a bigger threat than the mayors.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/07/busin ... firms.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
On the defensive, gun control advocates are now quietly developing a plan to chip away at the gun lobby’s growing clout: Team up with corporate law firms.
The article goes on to explain some of the strategies this coalition might use.
Just as significant, the gun coalition plans to pursue new legal strategies to avoid some previous pitfalls.

Rather than fighting the political headwinds, the coalition is focusing on courts and state regulatory agencies, among the few places where they might still gain some traction. The coalition is drafting lawsuits and preparing regulatory complaints that could be announced as soon as next month, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, one of the nonprofit advocacy groups that helped form the coalition, along with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the Brennan Center for Justice, a legal think tank at New York University School of Law.

On one front, the coalition will seek to overturn state laws that have gone largely unchallenged, including new policies that force businesses to allow guns to be carried on their property. The group also plans to mount the first formal challenges to congressional restrictions on publishing government data on gun violence. Taking a page from the fight against big tobacco two decades ago, it will seek the help of regulators to challenge what it views as the gun industry’s attempts to stifle competition.
Thoughts?

This is another example of why we should not go to sleep between presidential elections.

Nazis, communists, despots, perverts and gun grabbers are like cockroaches. You don't see them during the day. They come out at night, when you are asleep. They are still there during the day, you just don't see them.
