Shannon Watts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=77608\">who recently said military personnel are white supremacists<\/a>, says that  \u201cmany of our lawmakers have failed us, but that\u2019s why we have elections.\u201d The Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety says that the received $800,000 in unsolicited donations;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Everytown for Gun Safety says it has received $800,000 in unsolicited donations since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. It calls it a precursor for midterm elections in 2018, which it hopes will turn the tide in gun politics.<\/p>\n<p>John Feinblatt, president of the Everytown group, says \u201cit\u2019s time to elect leaders who will finally act to save lives from gun violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The five-point action plan includes pledging to vote according to candidates\u2019 positions on gun safety, letting leaders know the money they\u2019ve taken from the National Rifle Association will determine one\u2019s vote, registering friends to vote, getting candidates to state their conditions on the record, and finally, running for office to become a champion for sensible gun laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, good luck with that. The last election turned on a few issues, one of them was gun control. The gun-grabbers are promoting fake news. They claim that there were 18 school shootings this year &#8211; there have been three. Their number includes one incident where someone shot a BB gun at a school bus. Americans don&#8217;t like being lied to, you&#8217;d have thought that the 2016 election would have taught the other side that lesson.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/life\/tv\/2018\/02\/16\/jimmy-kimmel-pleads-trump-do-something-gun-control-moving-monologue\/344346002\/\">USAToday<\/a>, some guy name Jimmy Kimmel addressed the President from his stage;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Tell your buddies in Congress, tell Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and Marco Rubio \u2014 all the family men who care so much about their communities \u2014 that what we need are laws, real laws that do everything possible to keep assault rifles out of the hands of people who are going to shoot our kids,&#8221; Kimmel said. &#8220;Go on TV and tell them to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is a perfect example of the common sense you told us you were going to bring to the White House,&#8221; Kimmel continued. It\u2019s time to bring it. We need it. Tell these congressmen and lobbyists who infest that swamp you said you were going to drain, force these allegedly Christian men and women who stuff their pockets with money from the NRA year after year after year to do something now. Not later, now.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, the NRA isn&#8217;t the problem, it&#8217;s blivet-heads like you who want Congress to &#8220;do something now&#8221; and you don&#8217;t have any real suggestions, just platitudes about &#8220;something&#8221;. The NRA represents the interests of millions of Americans who can&#8217;t afford armed protection for them and their families like you.
