Gov. Rick Perry slammed as “callous” for gun factory visit so soon after Navy Yard rampage

BETHESDA, Md. — A pro-gun control group has slammed Texas Gov. Rick Perry for “inappropriate timing,” calling it “callous” for him to visit a Beretta USA gun factory just two days after a mass shooting left a dozen innocent people dead at the nearby Washington Navy Yard.

“It’s callous that Gov. Perry… would show so little sensitivity,” to victims the Navy Yard rampage, said Jenifer Pauliukonis, Maryland head of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

“Listen, there’s always anti-gun individuals,” Perry responded, asked about the criticism after meeting with business leaders and top Maryland Republicans at Morton’s steakhouse in Bethesda, in suburban Washington. “The fact is, I’m a pro-Second Amendment guy. Texas is a pro-Second Amendment state. Beretta has been a great manufacture in Maryland and they feel not only under-appreciated, they feel under attack.”

And this is news, why? This woman would "slam" any conservative for any reason because (a) she's a Lib zealot and (b) she wants to get her name in the paper. This is a template, color-by-numbers article that has no news value, other than the fact that the paper and reporter wanted an article attacking Perry.

Good men with AR-15 rifles stopped the rampage by an insane man with a shotgun and a pistol.

“Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense”

Hey! Me too!

Everyone should have a gun and be ready to use it. Especially moms and dads for their kids.

Because the guns walked themselves into the facility?

No, what’s callous is hussein couldn’t be bothered, military bases are gun-free zones and the cops were told to stand down.

Beretta is the plant threatening to leave for TX since MD came up with yet more anti-gun nonsense this year.

(from the article)" "Jenifer Pauliukonis, Maryland head of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. "

Maybe she should remain in 'safe (?)' Maryland where there is no Mexican invasion of immigrants ,
drug cartels, drug gangs, or unlicensed drivers.
She is content to wait the 8-10 minutes for LEO to process her complaint, rather than assertively take care of business.

Someone suggested requiring all military personnel at E-5 or above to carry issued pistols and ammo on base at all times while on duty.

Seems to me the base C.O. could take care of that.

Might offend the desk sailors, but would also tend to reduce sexual harassment........LOL

Not me. He’s ineffectual as governor. Texas schools use books that changes the 2nd Amendment wording and they use them to teach kids. Heck, they are all distorted.

If he can’t or won’t stop that nonsense then what will he do with federal bureaucracies? My guess - nothing.

More status quo.

Perry is doing exactly as he should be doing. Ignoring this Alinsky style attack.

You see what the game is? If Perry were to stay away, it would be used to incriminate the gun industry. Since he didn’t stay away they demonize him instead.
