Anti-gunners will never let a tragedy go to waste. |
Kamala Harris immediately weaponized last week’s tragic shooting in Georgia by calling for the confiscation of your firearms and a ban on so-called “assault weapons.” |
With the 2024 election nearly 50 DAYS away, Kamala and the gun control lobby are going all in to try and make the Second Amendment the top issue for the final stretch of the election… |
…And they’re hoping they can get enough weak-kneed Republicans and “pro-gun” Democrats to cave under pressure. |
That’s why we need your help to CRUSH any attempt by Congress and the White House to target our God-given rights. |
As was the case in the mass murder in Georgia, the ONLY thing that can stop a deranged killer is a good guy with a gun. |
Kamala’s gun confiscation plan will only take guns out of the hands of everyday heroes we rely on to stop these murderers dead in their tracks. |
But there is something else that can be done to discourage would-be mass murderers – and it doesn’t involve laying a finger on the Second Amendment. |
A study conducted by the American Psychological Association found that media coverage may be DOUBLING the number of mass shootings. |
Many of these killers are craving their moment in the national spotlight. They want the world to know their name. |
The killer in Georgia was enthralled with the Sandy Hook murderer. The Covenant School mass murderer wanted to impress the Columbine killers. The Parkland murderer was craving publicity. |
And sadly, the anti-gun media is giving them exactly what they want by talking about them ad infinitum. |
In fact, Kamala’s confiscation plan also gives these mass murderers exactly what they want. |
In 2022, the killer in Buffalo, New York admitted in his disgusting manifesto that “heavy gun laws” played an important role in his selecting the location he chose to commit his heinous crime. |
That’s right, he admitted that because of New York’s strict gun control laws, it would comfort him to know that “any legally armed civilian [would be] limited to 10 round magazines.” |
So, in addition to telling Congress to keep their hands off of the Second Amendment, we’re also calling on them to support legislation (S. Con. Res 15 & H. Con. Res. 58) that would discourage – not mandate – media outlets from lionizing these mass public murderers by talking about them endlessly by encouraging them to voluntarily adopt responsible reporting practices. |
