Well, since the premise is wrong, there is no "flow" to the conclusion, either logically or illogically. The premise presented by the Brady writer is that gun use is like race or gender, an immutable characteristic. This is a convenient straw man. The actual premise presented by gun rights advocates is that the exercise of human rights are not subject to veto by the offense, real or imagined, this exercise may cause to the sensibility of others. The "veto by heckler" example comes to mind. Straw man argument, meet the scythe. “From that flows the conclusion…”

And in the end their entire platform is one of pure bigotry. Do they have any shame? No they do not!
