The gun-haters at the Michael Bloomberg-funded group Everytown For Gun Safety have announced that they plan to spend millions of dollars to elect state attorney generals who they say will “stand up for the law,” code for help them in their efforts to curtail private gun ownership and kill the Second Amendment.
With a goal of spending $10 million, the group will support the work to elect Democrat AGs in up to 10 key swing states across the 2025 and 2026 election cycles. This will likely include races in Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, Wisconsin and Virginia.
“Attorneys General have been steadfast partners when it comes to holding the gun industry accountable, and now they’re the tip of the spear in defending our system of checks and balances,” Everytown President John Feinblatt said in a press release announcing the plan. “When laws are considered optional, public safety is at risk—-and that’s why Everytown is making sure Attorneys General know we have their back.”
Since 2017, Everytown has spent $5 million in attorney general elections throughout the nation, with all being spent in an attempt to elect those candidates who come down on the wrong side of the Second Amendment debate. Once they help elect anti-gun AGs, the group then calls in favors in its effort to dismantle freedom.
In the past, Everytown has partnered with the Maryland AG to file a lawsuit against gunmaker Glock for criminal use of their pistols, the Illinois AG to persecute gun dealers and the Hawaii AG to defeat a challenge to strike down the state law that runs afoul of the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act (PLCAA), among other actions.
The group also spent $1 million in the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election, helping leftwing radical Susan Crawford tip the balance of power in that state’s high court.
One only has to peruse Everytown’s website to see how far left its philosophy is concerning private firearms ownership. The gist: Guns are bad, and so are gun owners. In fact, if you’re white and a gun owner, you’re part of the problem.
“The U.S. faces a confluence of dangerous challenges from white supremacists, anti-government militias and other armed groups and individuals of the extreme right that seek to perpetrate violence, spread conspiracies, traffic in hate speech and engage in armed intimidation,” the group states. “Guns and gun rights are central to many extreme-right groups and individuals.”
Of course, gun rights are also central to saving the Second Amendment that protects those rights. But Everytown, of course, still believes the “people” mentioned in the Second Amendment are a militia, not you and me as the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled.
Ultimately, we can only hope that pro-gun groups will be willing to ante up and counter the Everytown money being spent to elect anti-gun AGs. At the state level, the office holds a lot of power over whether gun owners in a state are free or have their rights constantly infringed.
Maybe Trump could further reduce the our tax liability by taxing the hell out of special interest groups and PACs trying (and often succeeding)e to buy our government and infringe our rights. That might slow this crap down.
Never going to happen, but I can wish…
Remove their not for profit/tax exempt status.
Hom much have these commies be receiving annually in fed $?
10 million $ to fill the heads of useful idiots with crap. That’s all while it costs ZERO $ to open your piehole and Define Gun Control by its History for America’s Gun Control History illiterates. If you are too gutless to speak up then do not make a bigger gutless wonder out of yourself by barking at those who do speak up.
Obviously there is very good reason why Bloomberg is totally hush-hush about the History of Gun Control. However there is no excuse whatsoever for Gun Talkers to ever be zipped lipped gutless wonders when It comes to Defining Gun Control by its History.
Bottom line…Failure to speak against Gun Control an agenda History Confirms is Rooted in Racism and Genocide says a whole lot about you.
Deb people might listen to you if you didn’t call them names.
Who are you to tell others what they should do?
Saying what you belive in is the American way and you have the right to say it. But berating people like you do is childish.
Seems like you just like the attention. Just like a child
I tried but I failed at being a gutless wonder
Is Shannon’s sugar-daddy shaking the cushions on the couch for lose change again?
Come and try to take em!
