With apologizes to Alfred, Lord Tennyson,
once again off on a rant.
Breathless article in the (P)regressive
propaganda rag, aka Denver Post, declaring Shannon Watts, “Moms Demand Action”
the NRA’s worst nightmare.
Bullshit.
If
she and her group didn’t exist the NRA would invent her, or something like her,
to fuel their never ending quest to raise money to 'fight' for the 2nd
Amendment and, at the upper levels, live high on the hog.
Likewise, without Bloomberg’s money, Shannon
Watts would be just another mother of five with an expanding ass. From her
pictures, she seems to have acquired some high priced fashion and makeup
talent.
I know most of the ten readers of this
blog are NRA members and I recognize the good the NRA does in terms of firearm
safety, training range officers, etc. If I could support that, and nothing
else, I would renew my membership.
When President Trump, a friend of firearm
owners, took office, the GOP controlled both the House and Senate. Yet, the National
Reciprocity Act the NRA supposedly
advocated (and raised money off the issue) didn’t get it done. Why? My opinion,
they didn’t want to lose a lucrative fund raising issue.
I was briefly swayed after the Parkland
debacle and still get the inflammatory emails and offers to enter contests for
poor quality merchandise (which they will happily sell me) with their logo
stamped all over it.
Sorry, I don’t care
to have people know if I’ve replaced any firearms after my tragic boating
accident or that my untended parked vehicle(s) might be worth breaking into.
YMMV
So Ms. Watts has written a book and was
signing copies at Denver’s Tattered Cover Book store (a place I have dropped
serious money in the past) and her hypocrisy was on full display. Armed guards
were everywhere to ‘protect’ her precious hide with a secondary mission of
keeping the Deplorables at bay. Great theater for the gullible and her fellow
travelers. I doubt any firearm owner would bother to waste ammo on her.
(P)regressives want firearms gone,
period. Not that they care a rat’s ass about gang bangers offing each other,
no, they don’t want the Deplorables able to shoot their power seeking asses.
Dominion over the masses without a risk to their privileged asses is the goal.
They bleat about 100 people a day dying
from ‘gun violence’ (in a country whose population is more than 316,000,000). How many people in the USA die every day from malnutrition?
Not as glamorous a problem, but one with solutions. If they care so much about
lives, why aren’t they working on this problem?
