Demanding Mom Shannon Watts Compares U.S. Military to White Nationalists: Gun Tweet of the Day

Robert Farago - comments No comments

Shannon Watts is the “stay at home Mom” crusader-in-chief for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. As such, the highly paid Bloomberg shill’s supposed to be a nice woman pushed to stridency by self-righteous anger about “gun violence.” Of course she’s nothing of the sort . . .

Ms. Watts is a PR professional protected by armed guards, whose first priority is her saintly public persona. The mask only drops occasionally. As it did in the Tweet above, where Ms. Watts equates a military parade with a white supremacist rally.

Her target: President Trump. Because guns? No, because she’s just another mean spirited progressive, an elitist without any connection to the values or sacrifices that made America great. Did I just say that? Yes. Yes I did.

  1. Hmmm…my ex-combat veteran DoD employed son also made sport of the parade. But not over any white nationalist concerns. Just a “why” when we’re shutting .gov down every few weeks. Oh and a large % of the military ain’t white. The demanding shill is just a well paid prositute for hire.????

  2. Yeah… funny how when the alt-right holds a rally alone, nobody gets hurt. When ANTIFA shows up, people wind up dead or in the hospital. Right now, I’m a significantly less concerned about a bunch of pissed off white guys with tiki torches than I am about commie vermin decked out like ISIS.

    • While I agree with the sentiment pwrserge, you have to understand this is college football in the south…. It’s like a religion along with college basketball (Go Cats!). State legislatures and the legislators elected to them would be tarred and feathered if they ever messed with a state school’s conference standing. I’m sure if they did enact campus carry and lose their spot in the SEC conference there would be a massive reckoning come election time. College sports around here are tradition in my little corner of Kentucky UK reigns supreme, and for good reason, there are whole businesses devoted to just selling UK sports gear.

      Better yet if you live in a state with its own pro sports team you’ll know what I’m talking about. Just imagine if say the Carolina Panthers lost their spot in the NFL because Carolina voted to allow carry in their stadiums. Imagine the pandemonium if the Chicago Bulls lost their spot in the NBA because Illinois did a 180 on gun control. People would fall all over themselves to get back into those conferences and enact any number of asinine laws to get that revenue back.

      • I have nothing by unbridled contempt for both college and professional sports. These “athletes” (along with most of Hollywood) seems to be under the impression that they are something other than amusing bears on unicycles. While occasionally fun to look at, I don’t ask the bear about it’s political opinions, nor do I much care.

  3. I always thought the Taurus Tracker revolvers looked cool ….Until I saw all those You TUBE video horror stories of these revolvers exploding and barrels flying off the frame ! That doesn’t inspire consumer confidence! Nor safety…Nor reliability in self defense, or basic target shooting ????!

  4. As if there is anything wrong with being a white nationalist. Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, Europe for everyone else except whites.

  5. NutNFancy, Honest Outlaw, Real Guy Training, Mr. Guns and Gear, Chris Bartocci, MAC, Vickers (I ask him via Facebook!). Not sure about Sootch and Hickock. I know they sponsored. I could be wrong. Nice guys and love their videos.

  7. There are 4 reasons why SEALs are excellent shooters. They receive a lot of training, and that training comes from excellent instructors. If they don’t shoot well at BUD/S, they’re cut from the program. They’re extremely fit, and fitness is critical to performance in every physical activity. Most importantly, they shoot a lot. The ammunition budget for SEALs exceeds that of the entire Marine Corps. I don’t know about now, but at one time, every member of SEAL Team 6 was required to shoot a minimum of 2,500 rounds a month.

  8. Everything we did in those faraway lands, good or bad, we did in the name of folks like ehren, rob and comrade more dead soldiers. We did it in their names and under their orders. The American military is under the leadership of the American pols and people.
    Here is JWMs embarassing attempt to evade taking personal moral responsibility for lacking the moral courage to refuse to obey the goverment when it told him to kill nearly defenseless people:

    “We did nothing without their approval beforehand. And if they did not approve then they should have had the moral courage to try to stop what they thought was wrong. Refuse to pay your taxes. Renounce your citizenship and move to another country.

    Until they have taken actual steps to remedy what they see as wrong they do not have the right to judge others.

    My service was over 4 decades ago and I’m still proud of the men I served alongside.”

  9. I believe most of what TNP does, however, I can’t stand to hear how wonderful Keltec is. MAC is full on good stuff, but if I’m really interested in the misses of a particular product, I’ll browse forums. There will always be someone who’s unhappy with a product, and I’d like to hear why they hate it more than why someone loves it.

  10. I have an orange holster for one of my carry guns, but only really because I got the orange kydex on clearance. Don’t get my wrong, I really like orange and it’s neat to have something a little different, but for an IWB holster that, ideally, doesn’t get seen by anyone but me, it’s kind of pointless.

    I feel like gun guys, for the most part, are a pragmatic bunch who just don’t see the prudence in colorful, attention-attracting gear. Black is utilitarian.

  11. I take all reviews with a grain of salt, not a big fan of Nuttin Fancy, but he does good, seemingly never ending reviews. I’d take his reviews over almost anyone else’s.

    Hickock45 is great to watch, but he really doesn’t criticize anything unless it’s downright horrible.

    Yankee Marshal is fine, but he’s all over the place, his reviews are really opinions, but he’s knowledgeable about handguns, particularly revolvers.

    GunBlast never met a gun he didn’t like…

    Sooch00 is pretty good, thought he was a shill for the longest, but he just doesn’t review anything he can’t honestly give a good review. If he reviews anything, it’s passed his criteria, he just doesn’t publish reviews of things he doesn’t like.

    I look at quite a few reviews before making a purchase typically.

  12. The best way I’ve found to self edit my writing is to read it aloud. Even better, have someone else read it aloud. They don’t have to be an expert. Just reading something aloud, paying attention, will uncover both typos and awkward construction.

    We often complain that our adversaries do not check their facts. Due diligence in research is imperative to remain credible.

  13. Twenty years ago, police commentary commonly injected this bit into the narrative: we do not recommend that people act to defend themselves. Let the suspect have what they want and call the police.

    Today, we see the police educating reporters on the finer points of self-defense law. I suspect they did this all along, only now is it being reported.

    I respectfully disagree. Twenty to thirty years ago, I believe the “let us (police) handle it” mindset was quite pervasive in law enforcement. Proliferation of armed good guys and concealed carriers (but I repeat myself) over the intervening years have demonstrated that:
    (1) Armed good guys are not shooting people over insults and slights.
    (2) Armed good guys prevail almost every time over attackers.
    And I believe police have taken notice.

    As a specific example, Detroit Police Chief James Craig worked in California 30+ years ago and enthusiastically supported the “public should not be armed and police should handle everything” mantra. Fast forward to four years ago and he now openly encourages pretty much everyone in Detroit to get their concealed carry license and be armed in public.

    I honestly think that law enforcement attitudes have changed quite a bit in 30 years.

  14. Nope. My friends have all the guns and have to loan them to me. Any guns I might once have owned drowned years ago in a tragic accident.

  15. I’ve run plenty of FM both in practice and in comp, not one issue. It’s cheap ammo, you get what you pay for. I live 30min at the most from them, in fact I pass by their location on my way up to my home range.
