Head of Moms Demand Action: “Police Violence is Gun Violence”
AmmoLand.com ^ | July 20, 2020 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 07/21/2020 12:12:24 PM PDT by Perseverando

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Moms Demand Action has joined the anti-police witch-hunt. I have long written that armed citizens and police are natural allies. It is because both of them have strong incentives in enforce order and prevent crime and violence. Two years ago, I wrote:

An armed people and local police are natural allies. When locally controlled police and a population who trust them work together, crime rates plummet to very low levels.

Officers on the street have generally had a positive attitude toward armed citizens.

I did not expect the Bloomberg funded group, Moms Demand Action, to come out strongly against police. I should have, as the orientation of the group was always on the far left. David Horowitz said it this way. On the left, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always about getting and keeping power.

We should anticipate that a far-left group like “Moms Demand Action” would support other far-left groups like BLM or Antifa. Emma Hinchliffe, the writer at Forbes, frames the issue this way. From fortune.com:

There was already a strong connection between the movement against police violence and the movement against gun violence; some “Mothers of the Movement” like Rep. Lucy McBath have devoted their efforts to the broader gun violence prevention movement. How has the recent movement for racial justice affected the movement against gun violence?

Moms Demand Action founder, Shannon Watts, answers:

Police violence is gun violence and that’s why our movement must be responsive as well. We’re partnering with leaders and organizations who are experts against policing. We’re committed to working with them to address white supremacy and racism at its roots. We are seeing an appetite among lawmakers to push through anti-police brutality legislation.

Good to see Moms Demand Attention wasting their time on another useless venture. Maybe this will help all those in the middle see what raving lunatics these people really are.

Gun control laws are as effective at disarming criminals as the 5-Second Rule is at preventing germs on your food.

So who does MDA think should have guns?

Everybody?

Only the police?

Everybody but the police?

Nobody?

They think they can wish guns out of existence with positive thinking and magic fairy dust.

If they could, all it would mean is that those who are physically strongest get to do whatever they want. And from the looks of those Moms Demand Attention rallies, that isn’t them.

Mom’s Demand Action ... Let me guess: a bunch of middle-aged, overweight, white women? Just a hunch. Actually, a “bunch” is probably overstating their numbers.

How Sweet, Antifa and BLM had their Mommies come protect them.

Surround all of them, Arrest them all and send them to Venezuela for 120 days

Not anymore. Haven't you heard, when you call 911 a social worker will be answering and will make an appointment for you during the next 7 to 10 business days.

If, for example, you or a family member have been raped, you can tell them how it makes you feel during your "victim assistance report" and how you can feel better about yourself when it happens again.

“Moms Demand Action?”

If these broads “demand action,” they should hang out at the local bar wearing a low-cui blouse and a skirt that exposes their hoo-hoo.

When closing time comes around at 2:00 AM, they’ll get plenty of action.

At that hour, all the guys are drunk and all the girls look like Marilyn Monroe!
