Shannon Watts, Moms Demand Action blame Charlottesville violence on NRA, gun laws

Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts took to Twitter on Saturday to vilify the National Rifle Association and gun laws in Virginia as the reason behind the violent protests taking place in Charlottesville.

Watt began retweeting various tweets with the same phrase: “The radicalization of America has been encouraged by the @NRA and open carry laws, which enable armed intimidation. #Charlottesville.”

Watts retweeted a photo by Washington Post staff writer Joe Heim that showed two armed men.

While we are at it why don't we blame the obesity problem we have in America on guns. How about our students doing poorly in school. Hey if we are lucky we can blame the ruckus at the movie theater caused by those 2 upstanding citizens on the NRA. Shannon Watts is an idiot. That cow will do anything to keep her B.S. in the news.

Blame the governor for not protecting citizens by telling police to stand down.

Oh? Was somebody shot in Charlottesville? Shannon Watts has too much time on her hands.

She must be the dumbest person in the world. Not one shot was fired so how in the world could you blame the NRA and gun laws. Just another stupid liberal trying to push their agenda on everyone else whether it applies or not. Sorry not buying it beooooch

PLEASE point us to the article about all the shootouts that occurred in Charlotte?

Oh, there weren't any!

While I do agree that most all gun laws are garbage and should be thrown out, I would except the Original law from that pot, that being our Second Amendment!

Does she speak for all moms, or just the three in her organization?

Virginia is going more leftist and will try and take the 2nd ammendment rights away like the leftist State of Md.

She's trying to say the violence is the result of some states allowing law abiding citizens to exercise their 2nd amendment of the Constitution. She's not only way off base, she's a flat out liar. Truth is, if criminals, law breakers and people with violent natures knew that most law abiding citizens were in fact armed for self defense....they would behave themselves. Doing and saying what she has...in fact promotes more violence against the innocent and law abiding, because more violence fuels her cause.

The Commonwealth will not go leftist. Plenty of deep rooted Repubs below northern VA to allow it to happen.
