Brady Campaign Honors
Hillary Clinton’s ‘Leadership’ on Gun Control
by AWR Hawkins16 Oct 2015
On October 16, the Brady
Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence announced they will be awarding
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with
the “Mario M. Cuomo Visionary Award” for her
“leadership” on gun control.
The award will be presented to Clinton at the annual
Brady Bear Awards Gala in New York on November 19.
Part of the reason for the award is Clinton’s ongoing
support of forcing would-be gun buyers to pass the same Brady background check
that the Umpqua Community College gunman, the DC Navy Yard gunman, and
the Aurora movie theater gunman passed to acquire their firearms. Clinton not
only supports such checks, but also wants to expand them so that more would-be
gun purchasers have to pass them to get a gun.
The Brady
Campaign released the following statement explaining their reasons
for choosing Clinton:
We’re honored to recognize Mrs. Clinton for her leadership
on this issue. Throughout her career as a public servant, Hillary Clinton has
repeatedly put the safety of the American people above the influence and
interests of the corporate gun lobby. She serves as an example for all
policymakers who truly want to serve the constituencies they are elected to
represent. Mrs. Clinton was there when the historic Brady Law was signed by
President Bill Clinton and she has demonstrated a clear commitment in support
of our efforts to ‘finish the job’ and expand those lifesaving Brady background
checks to all gun sales.
Breitbart News previously
reported that Clinton believes an Australian-style gun ban is
“worth looking at” in deciding gun policy in the United States. She has
expressed a determination to go after gun stores if elected and to seek a
change in U.S. law to allow shooting victims
to sue gun manufacturers for gun crime.
