Shannon Watts upset that “non-white men” are starting to exercise their 2A rights

[Mikej]

I'm probably the least likely person here to have any kind of opinion about all this, in fact, I'd offer as an excuse that 'Naive' is probably my middle name.

BUT, and the but here, like that of the late Fatty Arbuckle*, is VERY large, I watched the inauguration along with my American neighbour. We both saw your new President with his hand is the air, swearing by Almighty G*d to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.

Not some of it.

Not the bits he happened to like, but ALL of it.

NO picky-choosey.

So how is it that he and his cronies are so determined to remove from it such a fundamental part as 2A?

TBH, I don't expect to get a simple answer, and I'm sorry if my question has caused offence in any quarter.

*Fatty Arbuckle would now have to be called something felt to be less than offensive, like Grossly-overweight Arbuckle, or 'Clinically-obese Arbuckle'. In much the same way, 'Slim Pickens' would have to rethink his moniker.

Free speech is under attack now too. It would seem the American people are being seen to not be smart enough to understand the written and spoken word anymore.

Simple, he and all his party (well, most pols worldwide) only believe in "playing by the rules" when it's to their benefit. He was the same Damn Liar he's always been...

Funny you should refer to Fatty Arbuckle. Arbuckle was the victim of politically-motivated criminal charges, of which he was acquitted three times. The jury in the last trail sent him a written apology! Check it out:

Either that or we are seen as sheep that can be herded and pushed around.

Either that or we are seen as sheep that can be herded and pushed around.

And living where I do, they are quite right.

As we used to say over at RedState before the joint went to hell, "Embrace the healing power of 'And.''"

Memes are wonderful manipulation, millions of them to tell us how to live and how to think. Some are even funny.

And the same folks have been churning them out for decades

Who the H is Shannon watts and why should I give a F?

Who the H is Shannon watts and why should I give a F?

She's an anti-2A turd-guzzler and founder of Moms Demand Action, just another rabidly anti-2A NGO funded by Bloomberg.
A useful idiot with a big mouth that gets billion$ from another equally rabid, anti-2A turd-guzzler.

Very illuminating. A lot of what is contained in that article I did not know...

Maybe they aren't armed guards?

Maybe milfs demand a different kind of action? A group of burly men and a lonely mom, that's common on a lot of heavily visited websites.

I literally just snotted cabernet out of my nose...

Ok, aside from the idiocy of this Shannon Watts the article in the WP had a couple stories about 'new' gun owners and their experiences.

One was about a trans gender person who is a new gun owner however 'her' reasons for gun ownership are a bit disturbing. The following are a couple paragraphs from the story:

In a scary time, Savannah Grace wanted not just protection, but a sense of belonging and community. A transgender woman who took part in protests in Richmond last summer, Grace, 31, grew up in a home where guns were culturally alien. But the combination of being confronted by law enforcement officers at protests and feeling endangered because of her gender identity prompted her about-face.

"I've been threatened just for being who I am," she said. Being armed was a way to assert control and gain political power: "As soon as any marginalized group starts arming themselves, that's when policy gets pushed through a little bit more," she said.

Other than her attitude toward guns, Grace's politics haven't changed, but she's had to alter the way she thinks of herself: She now defines herself as a gun person "who hates gun people."

So, fear of confrontation with LEO, describing gun ownership as a way to 'Assert CONTROL and gain political power' and describes 'herself' as a 'gun person who hates gun people' is NOT a person I consider a peer for gun ownership or the 2A.

"The right of The People" includes ALL People.

This is a public service for how accurate this response is.

People who are severely mentally ill don't always get to exercise all their rights though

I know. Blobophobia at its best.

 

[Dinglenutz]

From "you ain't black" to this and probably beyond, can they be any more obvious and still get away with it? Probably so. SMH.

Yup.

Shannon's tears and cries of agony are the sound of freedom.

It's very difficult to put an armed man in chains regardless of race.
