Yet it’s ok to teach children CRT to help your party to turn the USA into Venezuela.
She shows that she doesn’t understand the Constitution.
There should be a rule or something of springing this kind of DIM Ugly on the internet… how do you get that freaking buuuut ugly? And genetically stupid on top of ugly… what did it do to anger God?
So she is annoying.
She was the only one on the stage? I thought Blumenthal was a war hero. Oh wait, nevermind.
She should just STFU and stick to cleaning toilets
Since when can a child buy a firearm of any kind.
The criminals (politicians) are the reason why we need guns. Arm and train school teachers . Most of them want to be armed. Or put smart retired veterans in the schools to guard the kids. The same principal as gun control was tried with alcohol.anyone remember prohibition? It made crime families millionaires and no one stopped drinking. Apply the same theory to guns.
She needs to shut up.
Still blaming the tools for the use by the end user…. pathetic. And, the short, overweight person blaming gun manufacturers and advertising is as misinformed as a three year old.
I respect her service and sacrifice in that service. That said, she’s an IDIOT when it comes to the U.S. Constitution and the reason why our Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment into our enshrined Rights. It is precisely to PROTECT We the People from the CORRUPT FOOLS all too eager to STRIP AWAY our Rights, aka. TYRANNY that are standing beside her at the podium.
SSG. U.S. Army (Medically Retired) Infantry / Sniper / SOF Intel (SOT-A), multiple tours.
Dumbest crooks on the planet on stage here
Wonder how stupid she will feel once she realises that Kids are not allowed to purchase firearms no matter what a company markers.
Amazing just how smart these democrats are, they are going to do everything in their power to take away are guns, this country is going down so fast… listen to Paul Heavy “if I were the devil.”
She was a helicopter pilot, not an Infantryman. The fact that she even uses the term "assault weapon" indicates that she doesn’t know what she is talking about… Instead of going after the low-hanging fruit which would be to deprive responsible Americans (and the kids that grow up understanding firearm safety), how about she go after the elements of modern society that have given the public permission to kill: all the ones that diminish respect for life, all the ones that remove personal accountability, all the ones that glorify violence. You want "common sense"? How about "common sense" conflict resolution and societal stability…
Yeah she looks like a trained killer, at the buffet! The gun you may have used in the military is different than any a civilian can buy, an educated person that has any clue about firearms would know that. You can argue that when the 2nd amendment was written civilians had muskets, so did the military. So if the military has full auto weapons civilians should have the same, I agree with your point.
The JR15 that this so called “firearms expert” is talking about is just a .22 caliber. Yes it works the same way but most .22’s do even the ones with wooden stalks. They’re semi automatic is all. And when do democrats care about their “babies”? They don’t even want kids to live to be born. Back in the 60’s kids were being taught in schools how to try to hide under their desks from a nuclear explosion. So what’s the difference, lady?
Dear News, stop asking for opinions from ignorant, irrational, unreasonable, illogical, weak women who will NEVER be held accountable for their many failures.
Funny how the Democrats never bring up gun violence and gun control when it comes to black gang wars resulting in thousands of dead on US streets per year in the cities they run. It’s almost like there is a reason they ignore those statistics.
If you were in the military you know why the 2nd Amendment exists. Leave our guns ALONE! How a child is raised is up to the parents. PERIOD!
1791 – "TEXT, HISTORY, and TRADITION"
Guns should get Reperations from Human Violence instigators
#RussianPropaganda
IF ANY of them cared about children they would not have done the bills they have done. they only want the agenda,
This lady is just wrong and she is no firearms expert she was a pilot
The reason for the 2nd is to stop people like you who thinks she is smarter also show advertising toward kids I have never seen on but in a shooting magazine
They are what we need to defend ourselves from people like you trying to take our weapons of defense
These rifles she speaks of are our only line of defense against a tyrannical government. Never forget this God given, constitutionally protected right.🇺🇸
Secon Amendment 🇺🇸 People day everyday in homeless and drugs Addition 😢😢😢😢😢😢not one tells
These morons need to be stopped, the second amendment is the basis for all our freedoms.
Illinois deserves this witch.
Typical dem, more government control in your life. Sorry don’t need it.
