Women, Fists, and Guns

Shannon Watts believes the future is female.

She has taken to Twitter and Facebook to boost her Feminist cred.  She kicked off #Leggingsgate with typical Social Justice Feminist flare about the sexualization of women, policing women’s bodies, etc.

She has made domestic violence and gun crime against women a cornerstone of Mom’s Demand Action.

She’s so woke in feminsim that having The Nuge go to the White House is a threat to women.

One would get the idea that Shannon Watts really cares about women.

She doesn’t.

She’s a Progressive Leftist and only pretends to care about women so long as it convenient to her cause.

When a doctor in Michigan was caught performing female genital mutilation on young girls, there wasn’t a peep from Watts or Left Wing Feminists.  Why?  Because the defense preferred for butchering little girls was “religious freedom for Islam.”  So… crickets.

Well, the other pet group for Leftists right now is immigrants, especially illegal ones.

So what happens when a female immigrant manager in the Left Wing tech company Apple, gets the shit beat out of her by her silicon valley CEO immigrant husband?

A slap on the wrist.

A conviction for domestic violence comes with deportation.   The Left can’t have that, for any reason, so Progressive locals aren’t convicting domestic abusers of the crimes the commit.

California pleads immigrants way down.  New York City won’t hold them for ICE, and lets them go back to their families.

Apparently the danger to women isn’t the “boyfriend loophole” but the “non-citizen loophole.”  All you have to do is be a shade of brown and not a US citizen and you can beat the hell out of your family and Progressives won’t stop you.

For all that Shannon Watts seems to care about domestic violence, she only cares about it when it is a white, American man slapping his wife around.  Then she’ll nail you to the wall and take away every right you have… because feminism.  Be here on a Green Card, or better yet illegally, and your wife can “walk into a door” as many times as you like and Left will have your back… because intersectional feminism.

Watts and her Democrat ilk don’t actually “give a shit” about women or domestic violence, only advancing identity politics.

If Watts does decide to run for office in Colorado, I beg someone who reads this blog form the Centennial State to ask Watts this question at a Town Hall:

“Ms. Watts, you believe that people convicted of domestic violence should lose their right to own guns as per Federal law.  Do you also believe that non-citizens should be deported for a conviction for domestic violence as per Federal law?”

I want to see the answer to that.

Venezuela: There was no confiscation of Civilian Guns. 

The socialist leader of Venezuela announced in a speech to regime loyalists his plan to arm hundreds of thousands of supporters after a years-long campaign to confiscate civilian-owned guns. “A gun for every militiaman!” Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro said to uniformed militia members outside the presidential palace

There was never a confiscation of civilian guns for one simple reason: Civilians do not own the firearms they bought. By law (and it has been like that since the 1930s) all weapons inside the country’s arsenal under the military.

What they have in Venezuela is basically a lease where you pay full retail (sometimes twice) for a government-leased firearm. If you get pulled over and the cop decides to confiscate your weapon for a perceived violation, you are out of luck because that is not your private property but the Government’s.

So, the Venezuelan government after installing the new Disarmament Law went ahead and ordered people to return the weapons unless they complied with the new permitting rules and before a deadline. Of course, the government never quite got around to work out the implementation of the rules, so when the deadline came and went, even the people who were ready to give it a try, had to return the weapons they bought but never owned.

It was all nice and legal and tied with a pretty red bow.

Outgoing Tourniquetes

Ready to be shipped after the damned schools in the area are done taking kids in.  Only five going out because the sixth winner is either doing some secret government thing or he ticked the wife off bad enough he is in the hospital with broken fingers and jaw and he has not gotten back to me.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to Recon Medical for the tourniquets.

 

 

Kevin O’Brien A.K.A WeaponsMan. RIP

I’m sorry to have to tell you all that my brother Kevin O’Brien, host of this blog, passed away peacefully this morning at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston….

…We are planning a celebration of Kevin’s life for all of his friends some time in early to mid-June, here in Seacoast NH.  I will have details in a couple of days.  All those who knew and loved Kevin, including all Weaponsman readers, are welcome, but we will need an RSVP.  Again, I will make details available to those who write to hognosecommunity@comcast.net.  This is not restricted to personal friends of Kevin, but space will be limited, and we will not be able to fit everyone.  It will be a great opportunity to share memories of Kevin.

I hate to see another Good Gun Man gone Heavenly Downrange (or Beyond the Rim.) May his Family and friends be comforted in the knowledge he was respected by the community.

 

Note to Gun Culture 2.0: We are not getting any younger and the job is never done. I know some of you out there have the writing chops. Don’t believe that “Blogs are Dead” BS, they said that when I started almost a decade ago and I am still kicking dirt around and will continue till I kick the bucket.

Thanks to DaveP for the warn.
