Of Arms and the Law: CEO of Brady Campaign resigns, citing stress of losses

Congress may decide in conference to ease District of Columbia gun restrictions (H.R. 3058). The House will vote Wednesday on shielding gunmakers from liability suits (S. 397). And last year, Congress let the assault weapons ban (P.L. 103-322) expire.

Barnes resigned this week.

It's enough to cause Kim du Tuit to do the Happy Dance. Farewell, auf wiedersehn, Ta-ta, good-bye, don't let the screen door hit you in the butt on the way out you hidden-agenda hypocritical gun-control loser! The world will be a better place without you.
