Those who push to separate Americans from their Second Amendment rights too-often appear to view facts as irrelevant. Shannon Watts who heads Moms Demand Action, an anti-gun rights organization, recently paired with anti-gun crusader Michael Bloomberg to help create Everytown for Gun Safety, an anti-gun rights group.
Watts has been outspoken against those who work to protect our Second Amendment rights, including conservative commentator Dana Loesch, whom Watts has accused of being a paid propagandist for the gun lobby and Magpul, a leading firearm accessories company.
Last July, Loesch spoke at a pro-Second Amendment rally in Colorado and posed next to a helicopter adorned with a Magpul logo; however, Loesch has denied any involvement with the company and has noted that she did not charge a speaking fee.
In Indianapolis, Indiana, Loesch approached an anti-gun rights rally held in the same city as the 2014 NRA Convention. Finding Watts, Loesch repeatedly asked if she would like to retract her claim against Loesch, but Watts repeatedly ducked and dodged as the cameraman could be heard accusing the security of becoming physical.
Loesch also asked if Watts represented the interests of all mothers, or if she was only interested in representing mothers for gun control. Watts refused to answer, but ultimately offered, âIâm not interested in having a conversation with you, because youâve been so insulting online.â
Watts was soon whisked away in vehicles, surrounded by, ironically enough, armed security personnel.
Erika Soto Lamb, Everytown for Safetyâs Communications Director, later confirmed that the security personnel were armed.
It seems that even those who abhor the idea of an armed citizenry understand the undeniable truth: the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
