How could we have missed this pre-State of the Union State of the Gun Violence Prevention Movement address by Demand Action to End Gun Violence (a.k.a., Mayors Against Illegal Guns and their wholly owned subsidiary Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America)? In my defense, only 5k people viewed the video up to the time of writing. And there’s not a single comment underneath. Oh wait. Comments disabled. Who saw that one coming? I gotta say I didn’t miss much. Shannon’s one claim to fame: “Starbucks no longer welcomes guns in their stores.” Tell that to the armed robbers who visit the Seattle-based java joints for a stack of dead presidents. Or the armed off-duty cop who stopped an armed robbery at Starbucks. Anyway, no rude comments Dirk. That is all.
Mark Glaze looks like the love child of Scott Bakula and that kid from the Apple commercials.
In this day and age, what kind of adults take care of children and don’t take proper self-defense (fire-arms) training?
Three Girl Scouts were murdered thirty years ago.
Dan, when do I get to try out the Glock 42, as promised?
Is it just me or does Shannon Watts have those Nancy Pelosi-esque bug eyes? She also has a wierd droop with one side of her mouth. Does she suffer from Bell’s Palsy?
As for the content of the video, I would like to meet the 82% of Gun owners that support them. I know a lot of Gun owners and not a single one agrees with them.
What a load of garbage. They don’t want to respect the rights of law-abiding gun owners. “Common Sense” legislation in places like Connecticut made hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens automatic criminals if they failed to wait in lines for hours to register their “30 caliber clips.” Watts and her cohorts want outright bans and confiscations for all “assault weapons” which range from standard semi-auto ARs to my 10/22 squirrel gun.
Why did they leave out the mag cap limits when reciting their CO “accomplishments?” Made it seem like the UBC was the only thing they passed.
this level of paranoia borders on mental illness. and the level of anger and hate towards gun owners is bigotry.
Someone who owns a business in the areas where MDA is active should start a policy REQUIRING all customers to possess a gun to enter the business just to piss off Shannon Watts.
I just watched it to hear what that bitch’s voice sounded like. Confirmed – whiney nails on a chalk board.
Every gun choice is a compromise. Lots of folks ask, “why a .380 when you could have a .45”
Because a .380 in your pocket is worth more than a large frame handgun that you didn’t bring with you.
And don’t count on a .45 or .357 to provide better protection than good shot placement with a smaller caliber – even a .357 is weak sauce compared to a rifle.
all I know is that the NRA convention is in Indianapolis this summer and only a few miles from Shannon’s home, I mean MDA (MAIG wholly-owned subsidiary) Corporate HQ. I was thinking a field trip is in order. Maybe Shannon will let me bunk at her house, I mean MDA (MAIG wholly-owned subsidiary) Corporate HQ. She has room given all of her kids are out of the house, other than her step-son.
Just last week our grassroots organization contacted Staples about getting some gun sense. We were subsequently told to fuck off and
that she carries every day.
Join us to accomplish nothing.
If you’ve never had a weapon pointed at you while inside a vehicle I must tell you it’s a most uncomfortable feeling. Getting to your own weapon is difficult and slow at best, you’re locked into a box without the ability to move much, trapped like a rat, and some idiot is pointing the biggest gun you’ve ever seen right at you. Completely understandable how that might be upsetting and how you may have to exit your vehicle before being able to access your own weapon. Most if not all police are trained to announce their authority as they present their weapon if it’s at all practical at the time, so the thought that this perp might not have known the intended victim was in fact an officer, if the perp had drawn second, is unlikely at best. The unfounded notions about trigger happy police are unfortunate. The fact of the matter is that police involved shootings receive the highest scrutiny and rarely does an unjustified shooting go unpunished. The really sad fact is that you have better than normal odds against a law enforcement officer because they often give much more time for you to back down than you deserve or is warranted.
so I was watching the video again and well, something hit me (and no, it wasn’t the subliminal messaging of “Dirk, Come to my house, I mean MDA (MAIG wholly-owned subsidiary) Corporate HQ and give me the loving John cannot” that comes across with her constantly blinking her eyes in Morse Code).
At .54 in the video (have to freeze it) and again at 3:32 (again, freeze), I don’t see much evidence of a wedding ring. Now, it may be the lighting. It may be a simple and slender gold band. But since Shannon is a kept woman (by John theoretically but by Bloomy in actuality), me thoughts she had a rock on there in prior vids/photos. Since John made MILLIONS when he left Wellpointe (aka Blue Cross) around the same time Shannon was their mouthpiece (defending lawsuits brought by badly injured [edit note: It’s for the] Children(TM)), well, you would think she would have a display to share with her other (rich, white, suburban and sheltered in gated communities with private security) moms and signal her rightful place atop the proverbial pecking order . . .
In the words of Mr. Taggert, I am depressed.

Good God, Mayor. What is it like to live in perpetual terror?
They need to take some training from CCW carriers.
She got dem bedroom eyes
I flagged it as a violation of my 2A Right.
I love the comments on the anti article… The article states GSA policies were broken with the photo, and the anti commentators start spewing it as fact because they were too busy to read the actual firearm code for the GSA to figure out that no policies were actually broken…
I guess cross checking or citing is just too hard for these people…
Every time you see someone driving a car you need to alert others, alert security, call 911 and alert them as well; and then get of the streets, preferably into a deep car proof shelter. I know that someone driving a car can kill me, and other people who are just walking around – even people sitting in their home have been killed by cars – and all that could happen before any police officer out keeping the city safe could stop them!
The number of people killed by in auto accidents every year is more than the number of people killed by guns, and cars are designed to be as safe as possible while guns are (as the media has told me) “Made To Kill People”. It is only common sense that if something like cars can kill more people than guns – when guns are killing machines and there is one gun for every man, woman and child in the nation, (save 9 million) – cars should absolutely be feared and reported every time you see someone driving one. After all:
We must always err on the side of public safety rather than regretting later, when people are dead, that we didn’t act.

Comments and ratings are disabled? For whatever reason would they do that??
Panty-waist politicians scare me more than someone carrying.
A good lesson indeed, one ingrained at an early age for me.
We used to leave food out for our barn cats right in front of the door. Opening said door especially at night you would often be greeted by something other than a cat having a little snack. Possum, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and an occasional bear.
Hey, look, its Oldylocks and Baby Bear!
He bought the shotgun in Dec. and did hid murder in Jan. Did he have enough time and practice to make an AR an effective weapon in his hands? The simple pump shotgun has an easier manual of arms than the AR. Precision shots with a rifle take more time and effort to trrain for.
In the mall either one will do the job, but the rifle has a range advantage(some malls have long, open spaces in them) that a rank amatuer may not have been up to using effectively.
I am a concealed carry instructor in Grand Rapids. I am proud to say just last week I graduated another 24 people who will soon be carrying on the streets of Grand Rapids. I am sure that the fact that gun stores and classes are full all over town drives George crazy.
Of course this guy won’t get a pass for making a mistake. He will get the screws turned on him because he probably has no criminal record. He has to be made an example of. That is the point of nearly all gun laws anyway.
Rob,
For the sake of accuracy. The Bush gun free schools act doesn’t apply to this guy since he has a NC concealed carry license.
He’s being charged with a state felony… Regardless of the federal gun free schools act.
She certainly blinks alot – she subconsciously doesn’t believe her own bull$hit…
When some women lie through their arse they blink alot
He isn’t just admitting to be a mental defective, he’s describing it in detail… Don’t stop him!
George Hartwell ,give that man a Medal!
I just found out today my latest Form 4 was approved at the NFA Branch. I am fairly sure I would be shocked to find out the extent of the background check they ran on me to “approve” me to pick up my new silencer.
A gun is just a tool, period. If you define your personality by the tools that you use, well… it’s sad, but I suppose some people are weird.
I’m a convicted Felon but I’ll be damn if any person, judge, or government will ever stop me from carrying a firearm period.. So if I coast fast through a no wake zone on a lake are they going to take my fishing poles to?? I don’t buy hunting, fishing or even a drivers licens so hell with the government !! I invite them to my house in the woods to just even try to think they will seize my weapons lol.. It will turn out better then the Weaver family cause they will be loosing lives back here!! Thank God for new Indiana law where we can shoot pigs on private property now !!
Funny, I feel safer when everyone around me is packing.
Their legislature needs pressure to override any veto by the governor.
Standing ovation! The Police Commander should be head of the DOJ!
At this point, I’d just about take anybody as head of the DOJ other than what we have.
I’ve got a 70 year old remington 521t .22 rifle that belonged to my grandfather and then my father before me. It’s also the firearm I first shot. And still the sweetest.
Ruger only load for 22lr!
Seriously, no random sampling of the lot prior to shipping? They don’t pull random rounds from each line and test for pressure, powder weight, etc?
Question of the day: what is the most important gun that I own?
Yes.
this wouldnt be the first time TCU players have been associated with drug distribution, if this is what youre after.

The tide is slowly turning in some areas, but still going out in others.
