They are "briefs" not briefings, and you really should put a little more effort into understanding them, there is a wealth of interesting information in them.Liberty wrote: I am not a lawyer and I don't confess to understand amicus or any other briefings.
Levy was in the right place at the right time, the iron has been hot for a long time, and Levy hardly had any choice in when to strike. The NRA's legal team, and it's a pretty extensive one, also didn't get much of a choice as far as timing was concerned, if a case did not present the correct set of circumstances then the case was a waste of money to pursue - it would hardly be beneficial to our 2nd A efforts to win a SCOTUS ruling that homeowners had a right to own single shot shotuns.Liberty wrote:It seems to me that while the NRA was waiting for a few justices drop off, Levy decided to strike while the iron is hot.
The Bradys seem to succeed, but only seem to, because they are very shrill, very aggressive, and get a lot of support from rich benefactors and the liberal media, but they are not really all that successful, and they lie to the world about their failures, even portraying them as sucesses.
Do you recall the Bradys admitting they were wrong about "blood running in the streets" since CHL laws got passed?
Do you remember the Brady bunch reaction to Emerson?
How about their failure to get the "assault weapons ban" extended?
The Brady bunch gets its media strategy directly from history, observing the same ground rules as dictators throughout history. The NRA could use the same strategies, and would be portrayed as an evil influence on society.
