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.

I guess I have been wrong all along. I thought it was incumbent on the person slandering you to prove what they said is true.
