Stars & Stripes<\/a> reports that some veterans are “bucking their pro-gun stereotype” and joining with gun control fetishists to limit the ownership of firearms, you know, despite the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution;<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how critical firearm safety and responsibility are, and we know what these weapons can do in the wrong hands,\u201d said Navy veteran Sarah Dachos, who\u2019s been involved in gun control advocacy for the past three years.<\/p>\n

Anthony Swofford, a Marine Corps veteran and author of the 2003 memoir Jarhead, also got behind the push for gun reform.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Marine Corps, we have an expression, \u2018Every Marine a rifleman,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re made to understand the impact these weapons have and the responsibility that comes with handling them. I think the civilian world could learn some important lessons from that military experience of training, safety and accountability — that\u2019s part of the reason I felt compelled to lend my voice to this work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Swofford, Dachos and other veterans have secured a platform in the national debate on gun reform. Everytown for Gun Safety, the country\u2019s largest gun control advocacy organization, announced Wednesday that it created a veterans advisory council to lend support and advice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not surprised. VoteVets and Iraq Veterans Against the War were able to recruit veterans willing and able to “Qaddafi” their fellow veterans and stab us in the nalga<\/em>. The gun fags don’t seem to be having trouble seeking out Blue Falcons who want to disarm us.<\/p>\n

Part of the function of the veterans advisory council will be to provide testimony to Congress, weigh in on policy proposals and offer insight on firearms. For example, Everytown sought veterans\u2019 advice in October when the nation\u2019s attention turned to bump stocks after they were used in the deadly shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, McTighe said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, just like ANSWER who found enough veterans to form their “March Forward” anti-war group. IVAW also testified to Congress. Mostly, the veterans of VoteVets, March Forward and IVAW only contributed ammunition to the Bush Derangement Syndrome crowd. The protest marches against the war had T-shirt-wearing veterans in the front row to give the movement the appearance of legitimacy, even though most of those veterans had never been to the war.<\/p>\n

Scott Cooper, a retired Marine involved with the group Human Rights First, is part of the [gun control] advisory council. Cooper grew up in Wyoming, where he started hunting at 14, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So what? The last time I checked, hunting has nothing to do with the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
