The founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America says she’s done wallowing in disappointment following Donald Trump’s victory last week.
“So many women and activists had hoped to elect the first female president – a gun sense champion – to the White House,” wrote Shannon Watts in a piece for the Huffington Post. But she says her husband reminded her that gun violence prevention isn’t hinged on the outcome of a single election.
Watts founded Moms Demand Action four years ago in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. “I – along with millions of other moms and Americans – made a solemn vow to never again be silent on gun violence,” she wrote. “And we won’t break that vow just because Donald Trump won an election.”
“I – along with millions of other moms and Americans – made a solemn vow to never again be silent on gun violence,” she wrote. “And we won’t break that vow just because Donald Trump won an election.”
Watts says she’s used to adversity because she faces vitriol from gun extremists who “have bought into the gun lobby’s lies that stronger gun laws somehow violate the Second Amendment.”

Blab all you want, you’ll get nowhere trying to disarm us.
“Shall not be infringed” may just have some real meaning now that the communists are out of power.
She won’t be silenced no matter how wrong, no matter how obvious a fool she is!
She hasn’t see vitriol. real vitriol would have her lost overboard in the Gulf Stream - maybe to swim to England where they mostly think like she does
That woman is not a “gun safety advocate”.
Sorry for your temper fits but that is the dem way.
Take a look at the FBI crime stats and you will see that young black males who make up about three percent of our total population account for over half of all gun crimes and gun deaths in our nation. The vast majority of these crimes are committed in the big cities of our nation that are and have been long term governed by democrats.
From this we can easily derive that the white rural conservative America does not have a big gun problem but that Democratic governed high minority areas have a ton of gun problems.
Democrats have a gun problem that they have made for themselves and now can not control even with the strongest gun control laws in our nation.
That is the truth.
Gun.com has bought into the left’s Orwellian terminology by calling her a gun safety advocate.
I wonder what her response would be if you were to inform her that when you buy life or home insurance, you are not asked about whether you own a firearm or not because apparently insurance companies do not determine gun ownership as an identifiable risk factor.
LOL!
Well put.
Molon labe.
Hey, Shannon?
Please read this quote:
“False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that it has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are of such a nature. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
Cesare Beccaria On Crimes and Punishments
