  1. There will always be ‘well meaning’ idiots just as their will always be tyrants masquerading as progressive liberals. This is why there must always be people like us that will never quit fighting them. Be it at the ballot box or the with the ammo box.

  2. She’s right, you know.

    Her and her kind will never give up. They’ll stop at nothing to get what they want and use every dirty trick in the book to do it. So long as they believe it’s for the greater good, and that the end justifies the means, they’ll continue.

  3. Totalitarians never stop. Since Ms. Watts cannot stand that someone, somewhere may engage in an activity or hold a belief that she does not approve, her totalitarian nature will continue to harass, complain, nag, and ultimately coerce those to obeying her whims.

  4. It won’t be over for her until the cash stops flowing in. Then she’ll move on to found a new scam. It never ends with these people; it’s a business.

    She should take her show to Mexico or Syria. Or pretty much anywhere in the Middle East. They need her organization’s services badly there.

  5. Another name to drop into obscurity. What was the name of the lady that incessantly moaned and bloody-shirt waved about Bush & Iraq? I can’t remember. World moved on and left her in oblivion as well.

    Ms. Watts will soon go insane in the echoes of her mind.

      • Cindy Sheehan is from the town I live. She is the biggest pain in the ass to ever exist. She was supposed to be riding across the US this Summer on a bicycle. She had won a free tune up service from a local bike shop, and brought her POS Walmart bike in for the shop owner to tune up in preparation for her ride. She was demanding, bitchy, and rude.
        She has been disowned by most of her friends and family, including her husband. Certifiable loon she is.

    • Yep, after Cindy Sheehan was no longer useful to the Democrat Party, they dropped her. This is what the Democrat Party has always done with their useful idiots. Eventually, the democrats will jump to another politically charged issue, and they will drop this Watts lady. Heck, if the Colorado recalls are a vision of what will happen in the 2014 elections, the democrats may destroy Watts just to silence her.

  7. I just hope this MDA group does not get as much traction as the Women’s Christian Temperance Union did and we get a new Volstead Act. MDA would call it the T. Martin Act, Newtown Act or Save Chicago Act. Regardless, the MDA needs to focus on the War on Drugs, poverty, and a list of other factors that cause gun violence.

    • This might be good advice IF their aim was actually to stop gun violence. Since their goal is not to stop the violence, but to take away the guns, directing their efforts at the causes of violence rather than at taking away guns would be counterproductive.

      She is a useful idiot of the progressives and their goal is civilian disarmament so that they can consolidate their political power. They have no interest in and their policies will never result in the end of gun violence because if they have their way it will always result in the government using guns against the citizens.

      • It appears she and her group are targeting “open carry” in their crusade first and you can bet if they were ever to get that outlawed, banned etc., the ccw license holders would be next. It is straight out of the old HCI (Hand Gun Control Inc) playbook.

  8. One thing about MDA is that they are not even pretending to be merely for gun control. Their agenda, as I recall seeing it once, includes rolling back carrying laws and reinterpreting the 2nd Amendment. They think big, perhaps bigger than some more established gun-control organizations, and, just in case, they should not be underestimated.

  9. Moms Demand Action on Gun Sense in America … formerly One Million Moms for Gun Control

    That says it all. Why the need to change their organization’s name?

    Answer: they do not have one million moms in their ranks
    Answer: the “gun control” part of their name is driving people away

    ’nuff said.

  10. It’s a constant fight. For me it started in 68. No doubt it started earlier for others. Check back in a hundred years. No doubt the fight will keep going.

    This is one of the benefits of a free society. We have to put up with people like her and alex jones and piers morgan.

    But in return you get to listen to people like me, Tom in Oregon, Alpha Geek and Ralph and Matt in Fla. So it’s worth it.

  11. I wish Ms. Watts and the MDA would bring that level of passion and
    stubbornness to reforming public schools and bringing them up to
    par. Wait, scratch that. Considering the MDA’s complete inability
    to educate themselves, let alone use logic and reason, they
    shouldn’t be anywhere near kids.

    • Bet their hubbies wish they would bring that level of passion and energy into the bedroom instead of muttering about being tired and having a headache

  12. Never dismiss an avowed enemy, particularly one with such a Draconian long-term agenda as MDA has. They are never sufficiently weak until they are dissolved. MDA still can get MSM attention and reportage while pro-Second Amendment groups get virtually nothing except negative attention and vilification.

  13. Nothing says “Nanny State” than a bunch of Mom’s Demanding Action. Maybe its time to go on the offensive and press the advantage against their nanny-state agenda.
