Give them what they want, or what they deserve?
By Jim Irvine
One of the common cries of the anti-gun crowd is that you should simply give a criminal what he wants, because if you draw a gun, you will “escalate the violence.” Last week, during an armed robbery, a clerk followed those instructions perfectly – right to his death.
The Houston Chronicle outlines the death of another victim who followed deadly advice. According to Chief Deputy Craig Brady of the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office:

Is anti-gun Brady Campaign’s DeWine endorsement MEANT to help him lose?
By Chad D. Baus
(UPDATE: This commentary has been published at CNSNews.com)
Since national politics are filled with conspiracy theories these days, I would like to offer up one more theory for them to chew on:
Republican Senator Mike DeWine was given an endorsement by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence (formerly Handgun Control Inc.) out of a desire for gun controllers to see him lose on November 7.
Though conspiracists these days are open even to the possibility that President Bush actually conspired to create the 9-11 attack on America, I am certain some will have trouble accepting my theory about Brady endorsement. So let me explain.
Senator Mike DeWine and Congressman Sherrod Brown have equally deplorable records on gun rights. As noted in a recent Dayton Daily News article, both men supported the Brady-backed Clinton Assault Weapons Ban, and both men took the Brady position in opposition to legislation which barred gun manufacturers, distributors, dealers or importers from frivolous lawsuits designed to put them out of business.
With their hatred for gun rights seemingly equal, the endorsement and strong support offered by Brady’s Peter Hamm seems to make little sense.
