During the George Zimmerman saga, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence had so many lies on their site it made my stomach turn. The more ground they lose, the more desperate they get and the more lies they manufacture.

The lies they tell make each of us look bad as a gun owners and have even encouraged the “swatting” of gun owners.

Is there any practical way of stopping this?

Unfortunately there is no PRACTICAL way of stopping it, and suing for intentional slant has been tried and failed, which leaves suing for lying. IANAL, but suing for lying is no practical because first you have to prove that they are lying, and organizations like the brady bunch are wily enough to have attorneys of their own who can prove that even if what they said wasn't true, they thought it was true, and therefore were not lying.

245 now - funny, I thought with as much as Emily had done for exposing government and promoting gun-rights, this would be in the thousands already. I've posted the link everywhere I can think of, and even Emily is aware of it now

Chas.

How? They are using free speech. I don't agree with it, but thats kind of the point of the Big 2A, to protect the rights of others to say what we don't like and admit how stupid they are.

Tortious interference is attempting to interfere in the contractual relationship existing between two other parties.

Sure, they have free speech, but that neither justifies falsely yelling fire in a movie theater nor interfering in someone's contract.

Which they are doing neither. Good luck with making that claim in court.
