But that won&#8217;t stop the gun grabbers at the Brady Center from this needless law suit;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Forcing residents to buy guns they do not want or need won&#8217;t make the city of Nelson or its people any safer, and only serves to increase gun sales and gun industry profits,&#8221; Jonathan Lowy of the Brady Center said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>City manager Brandy Edwards said town leaders had not seen the lawsuit and had no immediate comment.<\/p>\n<p>Council members passed the ordinance April 1 requiring every head of household in the town of 1,300 to have a gun and ammunition, but there are exceptions. The law exempts anyone who opposes gun ownership or has certain disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>City leaders said the law was mostly symbolic, isn&#8217;t being enforced and includes no penalty.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> So, the Brady Center applauded New York, Colorado and Maryland when they passed gun-restrictive laws that won&#8217;t make anyone safer, but they oppose laws that they claim won&#8217;t make anyone safer when if puts guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens. I think they&#8217;re just afraid that this particular social experiment in Nelson will only support the contention that allowing law abiding citizens to own gun reduces crime and make them look foolish. Why else would anyone at the Brady Center care what happens in Nelson, GA, with it&#8217;s population of 1314 souls (in the 2010 census)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News reports that the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence has filed a Federal lawsuit &hellip; <a title=\"Brady Center sues Nelson, GA\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35715\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Brady Center sues Nelson, GA<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35715\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
