Not a bad joke. She is posted with The Robinson Agency as “A Mother on a Mission, Gun Safety Advocate and Actress.” One feels for her as her son Jordan Davis was murdered by scum-bucket Michael Davis, but the Red Shirt only gives her so much leeway and none when it comes to spread Mom Demand lies about Stand Your Ground and the Second Amendment…and then doing it for a fee.
She was featured in a recent piece by Fusion and this struck me as contradictory:
For that reason, McBath continues to advocate. She is motivated, she says, by legacy of the work her father did in the civil-rights movement and her exposure to the movement as a child, attending marches and rallies.“It was important to me to channel my pain and my angst and my anger,” she said. “Because I did receive justice, I have more accountability to help other people in this country receive justice.”

If I were to bet, her father did not use a talent agency to do his work for the Civil Rights movement, nor he charged an engagement fee.
No doubt that Moms Demand are well-organized in a media mercenary way, but they are no match against dedicated gun owners who will show their dedication in numbers and covering their expenses out of their own pockets and without the help of a billionaire, the need of a booking agency or the adulation of the Mainstream Media.
This is IGOLD, Illinois Gun Owner Lobby Day by the Illinois State Rifle Association. They march on a week day which means they had to take a day off from work and lose income. They paid the expenses with their own money and lobbied with so much determination for gun rights that Illinois finally gave up the ghost and joined the other 49 states in allowing concealed carry.
You can have Sugar Daddies and all the Press, but you shall never be this grassroots.
And that is why we win.
Ignoring, of course, the fact that there are no “stand your ground” laws in existence that permit an unprovoked assault on 4 unarmed victims. SYG defense wouldn’t hold in the case she’s claiming.
In fact, if anything, it would have permitted those 4 victims to respond with deadly force had they been carrying.
[…] Anti-gunners are often found to be in it for the money: Rent an anti-gun hack. […]
The annual Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day (IGOLD) has been recognized as repeatedly being the largest peaceful demonstrations held at the Illinois state capitol in Springfield. Attendees have never been asked to leave the capitol building. While it would be nearly impossible to obtain an accurate count of the number of attendees, some news media have reported “hundreds” when thousands would definitely be more accurate.
“lobbied with so much determination for gun rights that Illinois finally
gave up the ghost and joined the other 49 states in allowing concealed
carry.”
Much as I would like to agree with you, and I give full recognition to
the IGOLD organizers and attendees (including myself) who helped make
Illinois’s FCCA (CCW bill) much,much better than it would have been
otherwise (Statewide handgun preemption, Parking lot carry and with the
exception of Cook County {Chicago} pretty good carry rights for the
first go-around, the truth is without the Court system we would not have
CCW in Illinois. The courts ruled that the ban was not constitutional
and would be invalidated. Without that we would not have prevailed.
The reason I bring this up is that our opponents routinely lie, distort
and twist the truth, it is my belief that our side should not indulge in
revisionist history and falsehoods.

They wrote the issue themselves and then missed the issue,a armed bad guy shot four innocent people that were unarmed,this is really the issue of it they were unarmed and unprotected.Then they want to open this up more to happen more.Their not fighting for safety at all they are fighting to put more in harms way.
