How shocking. Mx. shannon t watts worked for or consulted for.....OMG Monsanto. That alone should be grounds for dismissal from the momunist campaign shouldn't it? After all, if you had any connection at all with the evil "we love putting chemicals in your food" Monsanto corporation, you obviously don't care about your fellow humans. Doubt if many heard the uh, retraction.

How much does Bloomberg pay her to be a "stay-at-home-mom" gun grabbing propagandist?

I would think ‘stay at home Moms’ would be a natural for keeping a firearm or two handy just in case.

Dad would be wise to maximize the protection for the love of his life and his children by spending the time and money to train the Mrs..

Is it true that Watts was not “an activist or involved in gun issues” before December 2012? Her Huffington Post biography mentions nothing about her political career, but according to her biography on Linkedin.com, from 1993 to 1998 she was a public affairs officer for Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan, the Missouri House of Representatives and the Missouri Department of Economic Development. (As her Linkedin biography shows, Watts has sometimes used Shannon Troughton as her professional name.)

After a while, Watts achieved the dream of every public relations professional—landing a fabulously rich client. Her previous clients have included WellPoint, GE Healthcare and Monsanto, but these giant companies are poor cousins compared to Watts’ current client. She landed the 16th-richest man in the world (according to Forbes magazine): Michael Bloomberg and his $32 billion. Today, MDAG is part of Bloomberg’s gun prohibition empire, which also includes his new “Everytown” organization and his anti-gun mayors group.

What’s Bloomberg getting for his investment? Well, not much grassroots. MDAG has a lot of trouble getting attendance at its rallies. In fact, if you don’t count the paid staff and the people who are getting free trips from Bloomberg, attendance at the rallies is tiny indeed.

On Twitter, MDAG has 24,100 followers, and the MDAG channel on YouTube has 650 subscribers. The various videos uploaded by MDAG typically have a few hundred viewers—with the notable exception of a video claiming that Facebook promotes illegal gun sales, which received more than 300,000 views.

“Ms. Watts’ goal is for Moms Demand Action to become the Mothers Against Drunk Driving of safe gun laws.” Mothers Against Drunk Driving does not lobby for the prohibition of driving, of alcohol, of automobiles or even of getting drunk. In contrast, Watts is, like her employer, a prohibitionist.

She asserts that her group “is in no way anti-gun” and that it supports the Second Amendment. Yet Watts declares that she wants to outlaw “assault weapons,” which she defines as a gun that “enables humans to shoot 10 rounds in one minute” (Twitter, @shannonwatts, Nov. 1, 2013). In
other words, everything except a muzzle-loading long gun is an “assault weapon” that must be prohibited.
