 Brady Campaign Sues; 'New Gun Part Is Same As New Gun' -- 03/19/2004
The Brady Campaign -- officially known as The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence united with the Million Mom March -- announced Thursday that it is suing Attorney General Ashcroft and the Justice Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, based in part on documents obtained from ATF through the Freedom of Information Act.
According to a Brady Campaign press release, documents obtained through FOIA include private correspondence between ATF and Bushmaster Firearms of Windham, Maine, in which the ATF repeatedly gave Bushmaster permission to manufacture new "receivers" to replace damaged receivers for semiautomatic guns that were legally owned before 1994, when the "assault weapons" ban went into effect.
In its lawsuit, the Brady Campaign seeks a court order prohibiting the government from continuing to allow the manufacture of new receivers for semiautomatic assault weapons.

Brady Campaign’s alleged concern about “gun violence prevention laws” amounts to nothing more than an unsubstantiated premise that concealed carry laws contribute to violence.
