Shannon Watts, as you may know, is the founder of Mom’s Demand Action, and has never found someone who wanted to debate her than she won’t block. You know how they say politics is a veneer of civilized discussion over a reality over being a dirty, nasty business? What Mom’s Demand is a veneer of common sense, easily accessible gun control measures over a reality of gun grabbing and banning, disarming law abiding citizens. And, Shannon thinks Joe and Kamala would be perfect to make it happen, writing in Marie Claire, a magazine of fashion and stuff (yes, you can wear glitter nail polish!)
A Gun Sense Presidential Ticket Matters Now More Than Ever
,,,
America is mired in two deadly public health crises: COVID-19 has claimed the lives of more than 165,000 people and, at the same time, gun violence continues to kill more than 100 Americans on average per day, wounding hundreds more. Sadly, our country’s gun violence epidemic didn’t end when the pandemic began (gun sales have surged, and our country has seen an uptick in deadly gun violence), and both crises are disproportionately devastating communities of color: Black Americans are 10 times more likely than white Americans to die by gun homicide, and Black Americans are dying at 2.5 times the rate of white Americans from COVID-19.
Recent polling shows the vast majority of Americans believe gun safety measures are growing more important in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Gun safety has become one of the defining issues of this election—one that moves people to get out and vote, especially women voters who will play a decisive role in electing our next president. I am part of an army of women who have made gun violence prevention the fight of our lives, and we’re proud to fight like hell to elect Vice President Biden and Senator Harris. We need a gun sense presidential ticket now more than ever before.
It’s cute how she’s joining Bat Soup Virus with gun grabbing, isn’t it? The weird part is that the majority of this happens in cities and areas run by Democrats. It’s not white Republicans running Chicago who see blacks shooting each other constantly. Most of the shootings in Chicago, Baltimore, NYC, Los Angeles, and other Dem run cities are done by blacks against blacks. I don’t think the guns are to blame. Marie Claire just gave me a popup about exfoliating face mask. Roughly around 50% of all shootings are committed by blacks.
In addition to Senator Harris’ impressive credentials as a senator, state attorney general, and district attorney, and her longtime “F†rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA), Harris has spent her career voting for and enforcing the very laws that we know keep our communities safe. During her time in Congress, Senator Harris co-sponsored life-saving gun violence prevention legislation, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, and regulating assault weapons, high capacity magazines, and 3D-printed guns. She’s also worked to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them, including abusive romantic partners and stalkers, people convicted of violent hate crimes, and those who pose an extreme risk to themselves or others. She fought to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act and called out the NRA for its eagerness to put women’s lives on the line to sell more guns.
Women are buying guns more than ever, as are law abiding blacks, because they see the the violence rising in Democratic Party run cities and areas. But, what Shannon and Mom’s Demand want, what Democrats want, is women disarmed. A gun is an equalizer when a much bigger man wants to attack them. Democrats want all citizens disarmed, meaning those who have firearms will be criminals and Government.
Of course, for most citizens, “common sense gun control” is about as important as ‘climate change’, meaning not. You go ahead and push this stuff, Dems. Why does it seem that Democrats are constantly attempting to take away citizen’s rights.
