Gun control group wants Emily Miller fired
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 27, 2015 | Dan Workman

Posted on 02/04/2015 11:28:40 AM PST by Timber Rattler

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) yesterday launched an effort on its website and via Facebook to have Emily Miller, chief investigative reporter for WTTG, the Washington, D.C. Fox News affiliate, fired from her job for appearing at a gun rights rally several days ago in Virginia.

CSGV said today on its Facebook page that more than 3,000 people have signed an on-line petition demanding that WTTG general manager Patrick Paolini pull the plug on Miller, who authored “Emily Gets Her Gun…But Obama Wants to Take Yours.” The book was a blistering account of Miller’s efforts to get a permit to legally keep a handgun in her home in the District of Columbia.

Counter petition here that needs FR help.

As soon as they get rid of all those biased idiots in ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, the NYT, the Boston Globe, LA Times, USA today, and the sub cretins currently masquerading as reporters for the White House.

She's on Fox quite a bit and is an investigative journalist for a local Fox affiliate in DC. That's why she's driving the Left there crazy, and they want her off the air.

So I guess this is:
1. Their idea of NOT having a war on women.
2. An example of how interested they are in having the “discussion about guns” that they always claim they want.
3. Another amendment they don’t like.

So they are against the First Amendment as well as the Second.

It’s ‘banglist,’ not ‘bang.’

Which hacks off the liberal Nazis the most.....

The firearm in her right hand, or the cross around her neck?

Whatever your position on gun control, she was a good honest newspaper reporter. To go through the DC buying process, and to accurately document in serial fashion, over several months, everything she experienced is CLASSIC journalism.

Thanks Timber Rattler.

Citizens Against Tax-Exempt Status for Leftist Orgs would get a donation check from me.

The comments on their own facebook page are running mostly in support of Emily.

The most pleasurable smells in the world are female pheromones and gunpowder. Of course Emily and the SIG SAUER two tone P-229 take first and second place for beauty.
