Shannon Watts: ‘Overlap Between Gun Extremists and Men Who Hate Women Is Alarming’
breitbart ^ | 3 Feb 2022 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 02/03/2022 9:27:15 PM PST by MarvinStinson

Elle published an article by Mike Bloomberg gun control affiliate Shannon Watts in which she claims that the “overlap between gun extremists and men who hate women is alarming.”

Watts’ article is part of the left’s effort to pressure Congress into expanding the prohibited purchasers/possessors list for firearms in America. They are specifically pushing to expand prohibitions against ex-spouses to include ex-boyfriends and dating partners.

To be clear, pro-gun activists don’t disagree with us because they actually believe we want to take their guns away. They hate us because we’re women.

Rarely do the men who proclaim themselves defenders of constitutional liberty direct message me about policy. They’re much more likely to threaten me with rape or hanging. Gun extremists have told me to “go bake a cake, bitch” or to “do what all the other stay-at-home moms do” and watch TV “with a bottle of Chardonnay.” I’ve been told I’m trying to take people’s rights away just because I “got knocked up once.”

Watts actually goes so far as to intimate that pro-Second Amendment males are easily influenced via an appeal to two central passions: a love of guns and a hatred of women. She suggests that these two passions are often uncontrollable when combined with each other:

Guns have long been a recruiting tool of the far right: They often get people in the door and are a vital part of extremists’ organizing strategy. So does misogyny. Bonding over a hatred of women, or frustration with their inability to control them, gets men through the door, too. Once there, the anger and resentments grow, and talk can turn to action. The combination of easy access to guns and misogyny in our country has deadly consequences.

Breitbart reported the heinous June 3, 2015, murder of New Jersey resident Carol Bowne.

Bowne had applied for the state’s permission to own a gun on April 21, 2015, and was still waiting on the state to give her permission to possess a gun when a former boyfriend stabbed her to death in her own driveway. She had a restraining order against the man, but gun control made it impossible for her to legally get a gun for self-defense in time to possibly save her life.

People on the Left will make up any story, tell any lie, in order to advance their agenda.

As par, Leftist’ just spewing BS to be spewing BS, and imagine, they claim the opposition is spewing misinformation when they themselves are spewing misinformation like there is no tomorrow. Cure for cancer? Nah, I would much rather have a cure for Leftist cancer that is steadily wrecking this country, bet!

No one wants to talk policy with a lying, authoritarian mentally ill libtard. That's all that is.

The definition of men who hate women is code for men who do or sat things women do not like.

I dont hate women. I dont do or say things that many women like. And I truly don’t care. Because I treat women like any man. They dont get my inherent respect. I dont just help them out because they are adults and can generally get out of their own messes and solve their own problems. I dont deal with strangers generally, men or women. I dont generally interject myself into other peoples drama. I am not anyones personal security guard. I have obligations to people I care about who depend on me, I dont alter my plans to their detriment. I also dont deal with ungrateful and entitled people, those who somehow seem to expect I’m there to assist them, be they men or women.

There are a lot of “gun extremists” that just happen to be women.

Did she get that incredible insight into the minds of millions of Americans from the Psychic Hotline? A Ouija board perhaps? Or did she just make it up?

I believe definitions are in order here. Is the author speaking of biological women, or little boys that never grew out of their desire to be little girls and wear women’s clothing just like their dear mama?

If the former, it is difficult to find any reason to be disgusted by the weaker sex; if the latter, on the other hand, I can’t think of any reason not to be.

Watts needs to know that gun owning men don’t hate women.

We just hate gun grabbers like Shannon Watts.

How much does Michael Bloomturd pay her?
