Wish she would have been somewhere other than Wellpoint and Monsanto but it is what it is.

She should be a role model and advertise it rather than say she was just a stay at home mom. She should not try and hide it.

Who We Are

Moms Demand Action was founded by stay-at-home mom Shannon Watts on December 15, 2012, in response to the devastating shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The organization quickly flourished into a leading force for gun violence prevention, with chapters in all 50 states and a powerful grassroots network of moms that has successfully effected change at the local, state and national level. In December 2013, Moms Demand Action partnered with Mayors Against Illegal Guns to unite a nationwide movement of millions of Americans working together to change the game and end the epidemic of gun violence that affects every community.

She must not be proud of her career to not even mention it. I wish she would.

I think "real moms" should do what ever they want, so I guess I do not meet your convoluted definition of a "pro-gunner". Thats good to know, thanks.

You sure do a lot of complaining for a "nice and comfortable" person. DanTex May 2014 #91

so anyone you do not agree with is complaining? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #92

Not at all. But you are... DanTex May 2014 #93

I guess if you say so Duckhunter935 May 2014 #94

There is always room for disagreement. canuckledragger May 2014 #95

I don't agree with banning online sales LittleBlue May 2014 #5

Bloomberg Pays for Action. aikoaiko May 2014 #9

It's always funny when the NRAers complain about Bloomberg's involvement with gun control... DanTex May 2014 #11

Considering most of us have views the NRA opposes hack89 May 2014 #12

Hmm. That's an odd thing to say, considering that you are an NRA member... DanTex May 2014 #13

I vote for gun control Dems. hack89 May 2014 #15

Of course! You're a huge gun control advocate! DanTex May 2014 #17

Like I said, when you want to actually accomplish something let me know hack89 May 2014 #26

Like I said, I find it hilarious when pro-gunners insist they are really just trying DanTex May 2014 #27

Entertainment is what DU is all about hack89 May 2014 #29

I will say all of those are idiots and I do not support them as they are extreme Duckhunter935 May 2014 #16

Yes, the leaders of the gun rights movement are all right-wing nutjobs. DanTex May 2014 #19

Who said I hated Bloomberg? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #21

I did. It's obvious from your posts that you have a single-minded obsession with the man. DanTex May 2014 #22

And you would be wrong again Duckhunter935 May 2014 #24

Bloomberg can do whatever he wants, I do not care Duckhunter935 May 2014 #18

Umm, evidently, yes, you do care. DanTex May 2014 #20

how do the gun manufacturers profit from gun violence? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #23

Umm, the same way that arms manufacturers profit from wars... DanTex May 2014 #25

so no proof Duckhunter935 May 2014 #31

Proof that gun manufactures make money by selling guns? DanTex May 2014 #37

you forgot the gun violence part Duckhunter935 May 2014 #39

Umm, it's pretty hard to forget about gun violence when living in the US... DanTex May 2014 #40

so how many of the 300 million are not Duckhunter935 May 2014 #45

But there is no direct link is there? hack89 May 2014 #28

Of course there's a direct link. DanTex May 2014 #30

So gun violence is not significantly less than it was 20 years ago? hack89 May 2014 #32

Lower than 50 years ago, no. DanTex May 2014 #34

Perhaps we should go back to the gun control laws of the 1960s? hack89 May 2014 #36

Hmm, "down" is an odd choice of words to describe by far the highest rates of gun violence DanTex May 2014 #38

Yes, however we should aim for a reality based solution hack89 May 2014 #42

Mental health reform and ending the drug war are going to be tough, politically. DanTex May 2014 #53

I agree with the ACLU about registration hack89 May 2014 #61

Hmm, I didn't realize the ACLU wanted to dismantle the NFA registry. DanTex May 2014 #63

They opposed gun registration on privacy grounds hack89 May 2014 #72

I must have missed the part where they wanted to dismantle the NFA registry. DanTex May 2014 #74

They don't oppose existing the NFA registry hack89 May 2014 #82

Very bizarre thinking. I didn't realize the ACLU had veered way over to the right on certain issues. DanTex May 2014 #85

I know - personal privacy is such a RW value hack89 May 2014 #86

Privacy is important, but I don't know a single progressive who buys into that prepostersous DanTex May 2014 #87

It is none of the government's business what I own or do in the privacy of my home hack89 May 2014 #89

I guess that's a "no", you can't think of any progressives who buy into it. DanTex May 2014 #90

I know - the ACLU is a bunch of RWrs hack89 May 2014 #96

So that's the second "no" in a row. Still can't name a single progressive that buys into DanTex May 2014 #97

Are you for real? hack89 May 2014 #99

Are you? I guess ignoring my posts is the only strategy you've got, giving that you DanTex May 2014 #100

I know the ACLU is antigun hack89 May 2014 #101

Your position on gun registration is clearly right-wing. DanTex May 2014 #103

But their position on the 2A is a progressive one, correct? hack89 May 2014 #107

What are you talking about? DanTex May 2014 #109

I have never thought they agreed with me on the 2A hack89 May 2014 #111

OK. Have fun. DanTex May 2014 #112

so you are for gun confiscation? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #43

Huh? Confiscation? DanTex May 2014 #55

and the millions all ready out in civilian hands? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #64

They should be registered under NFA. DanTex May 2014 #67

so the DOJ is wrong? Duckhunter935 May 2014 #33

Gun assaults have increased over the last decade. DanTex May 2014 #35

I'm sure those graphs are a huge comfort to parents of all the children who've been murdered groundloop May 2014 #41

Mental health care reform should be the first step hack89 May 2014 #44

and many gun owners here have put up many good ideas Duckhunter935 May 2014 #47

Why? jeff47 May 2014 #125

You support free speech, Rush Limbaugh supports free speech, therefore... NutmegYankee May 2014 #50

Right, that's my point, sort of. DanTex May 2014 #52

Not really. NutmegYankee May 2014 #54

Yes, really. DanTex May 2014 #56

It comes down to advocating or promoting what a person says. NutmegYankee May 2014 #57

...and people who are in bed with Ted Nugent should be especially reluctant to play DanTex May 2014 #59

The choice of "in bed" betrays your viewpoint. NutmegYankee May 2014 #62

Yes, the "guilt by Bloomberg association" smear-fest does seem to show up every time. DanTex May 2014 #66

Both sides of the gun debate do it on DU. NutmegYankee May 2014 #69

Ah, the old "both sides do it" card. DanTex May 2014 #71

I could have spent my lunch talking to a brick wall... NutmegYankee May 2014 #73

I know Bloomberg is a your great right hope for gun restrictions. aikoaiko May 2014 #58

Well, he's certainly making an effort, which is a good thing. DanTex May 2014 #60

What's a pro-gunner Duckhunter935 May 2014 #70

Umm, yeah, "pro-gunner", it's pretty complicated. DanTex May 2014 #81

I am glad she did Duckhunter935 May 2014 #122

Umm... looks like your NRA handler got this one wrong. DanTex May 2014 #123

If you cared to go to the link provided Duckhunter935 May 2014 #124

Sorry, buddy, but she is a stay at home mom. DanTex May 2014 #126
