Texas State Rifle Association Executive Director James Dark fisks Marsha McCartney's testimony against passage of the recent "Stand Your Ground" bill.  Here's a small sample:
Near the conclusion of her testimony, Ms. McCartney mentioned that she participates in gun-buyback programs. I hope that she is considering how she might look in an orange jumpsuit if the authorities ever take a good look at what’s going on with these gun buybacks. In the same committee meeting, a state representative and another witness (for the antis) admitted that they knew that most of those guns purchased in buybacks were stolen. Texas law forbids the purchase of “property [that] is stolen and the actor appropriates the property knowing it was stolen by another.”

Am I the only one that wonders why these gun buybacks are allowed to proceed and why they are not looked into by the authorities? Do you not wonder why there is no attempt to link up the stolen property with the rightful owners, rather than buy the guns simply to feed them into a grinder?
McCartney is President of the North Texas Chapter of the Brady Campaign.  Most (just about all of it, actually) of her testimony involved simply reeling off one lie after another.
