A Democratic candidate, who is in hot water over texts revealing his desire to shoot a GOP lawmaker, previously received the endorsement and a hefty donation from one of the most prominent gun control groups in the country.
Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, running alongside gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, received $200,000 from Everytown for Gun Safety in August, campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital show.
Jones has been facing calls to drop out of the race after a National Review report exposed text messages in 2022 where Jones compared one of his Republican colleagues, former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, to Hitler and Pol Pot and said that if he was given two bullets, he would use both against the GOP lawmaker.
Over the years, I have noticed an interesting feature (or is it a bug?) of gun control activists: a lack of personal self-control that they project on to others. There was a DC gun ban activist who police arrested in possession of a MAC-10 that they believed she intended to use on the criminal accused of killing her son. There was a New Jersey gun banner who claimed he supported restrictive gun laws because his brother was killed with a gun. (Deeper examination found the brother was shot to death by New Jersey police after a traffic stop.)
Mayors Against Illegal Guns has a long history of members being arrested or convicted of felonies including, "false imprisonment, unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment, serving alcohol to a minor and other crimes, and he also allegedly used more than one gun in this incident, in which at least one shot was fired."
Projection is a fundamental characteristic of progressive politics.
About twenty-five or thirty years ago in Chicago there was a man who was active in the anti-gun movement, and it was discovered that he was a very active rapist. He wanted to make sure his victims were not armed so they could harm him.
ReplyDeleteWhen we think of guns, we think of hunting, target shooting and self-defense. When they think of guns, they think of killing.
