Gun-grab politicians like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and others, along with gun control organizations like Moms Demand Action, have renewed their Second Amendment assault for 2022 by going full steam ahead in the media pushing lies about the gun facts.
Moms Demand Action Executive Director Shannon Watts constantly spouts gun control lies via her Twitter like:
Stand Your Ground, coupled with Florida’s lax regulations on guns and background checks is an attitude. It’s the message that anything goes in your exercise of your constitutional rights, whether it be vigilantism or recklessness. #flapol
- 2/10/2022
Stand Your Ground Laws are from “an attitude” or “anything goes”…Watts focuses on these trigger phrases, which she knows will cause an emotional reaction in her supporter base, and cause them to sound the alarm on stricter gun control.
The key part of Watts’s Tweet is “…exercise of your constitutional rights…”, which Stand Your Ground laws exactly are.
Watts also likes to ignore current federal law and spout lies about background checks, as seen from a Tweet of hers on February 9, 2022:
“Right now, people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence are only prohibited gun purchasers if they were married to, lived with, or share a child with their victim. This law ignores the reality that women are as likely to be killed by an abusive dating partner as a spouse.”
According to Form 4473 which every purchaser of a firearm is required to fill out at an FFL dealer, you can be denied purchase if you are under “indictment or information in any court for a felony, or any other crime for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year” (21b) or if you have you ever been “convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence…” (21i).
Again, Watts is flat out lying to her core base.
You do not have to be related to – as Watts puts it – “married to, lived with, or share a child with their victim…” in order to be denied the purchase.
I tried to respond to Watts’s Tweets via my personal Twitter of @RealTylerYz and the Second Amendment Institute’s @SaiNAtional, but to no surprise, Watts blocked both of our accounts.
Gun grabbers, who the majority of the time are flat out liars, or too ignorant to know the truth, are not willing to sit down and have an open discussion about the Second Amendment.
Other big control lies being spewed by radical gun grabbers and shared on social media include:
- AR-15s are assault rifles
- Guns are the leading cause of death in the United States
- We need to pass stricter gun control
- More guns equal more crime
You can find these lies and more debunked in my new book: Gun Rights 101 on Amazon.
Then there’s this from Moms Demand Action Tweeted on February 8, 2022
According to Shannon Watts and Moms Demand Action, men who “heavily arm themselves” are automatic “misogynists”…
The argument structure of gun grabbers has gone from flat out lies to flat out stupidity.
But, this shouldn’t be surprising because gun grabbers, like Watts, only care about power and self-glorification. If she actually cared about solving whatever issues she thinks are issues, she wouldn’t be blocking pro-Second Amendment advocates on Twitter. Rather, she’d be having discussions with them.
Anti-freedom organizations like Moms Demand Action, Everytown for Gun Safety, and others, tap into the emotions of their followers to create a knee-jerk reaction that turns into crazed gun-grabbers spewing misinformation garbage on their social media accounts and radicalizing once level-headed Americans.
At the end of the day, you and I as rational law-abiding gun owners need to do all that we can to combat the lies of radical gun grabbers, and demonstrate the truth of the matter.
This is the only way we can change the hearts and minds of Americans and ensure that our Second Amendment rights are well preserved for future generations.
