selection of U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio<\/a> was a good one as far as the Second Amendment is concerned. Of course, the real way to tell whether that analysis is accurate or not is to see what gun-haters are saying about the selection.<\/p>\nFrom Everytown for Gun Safety to Moms Demand Action to Giffords to the Brady Campaign, gun-ban groups seem to hate Vance as much as they do Trump. And that\u2019s a good sign for those of us on the freedom side of the Second Amendment debate.<\/p>\n
\u201cGun violence impacts Americans from all political stripes. Donald Trump\u2019s pick for vice president has a record of undermining the gun violence prevention movement,\u201d said\u00a0head Mom Angela Ferrell-Zabala. \u201cWe refuse to accept gun violence as the status quo, and our volunteers are already mobilizing voters and working to elect gun sense champions up and down the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not to be outdone, Everytown President John Feinblatt also had to weigh in on the Vance selection, as well as the failed assassination attempt on Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite Trump and Vance\u2019s failed records on gun safety, the Trump-Vance ticket must take a serious and clear-eyed look at common-sense gun safety measures if any chance of \u2018unity\u2019 is possible,\u201d Feinblatt said Everytown. \u201cAs Saturday demonstrated, no one\u2014not even the former president\u2014is safe from gun violence. Now is a moment for true reflection and bipartisan action on gun safety that reflects the will of the vast majority of voters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, Feinblatt didn\u2019t mention how gun control would have stopped the shooting. It\u2019s just more pie-in-the-sky wish in one hand, shit in the other from those with no real solutions.<\/p>\n
Citing Vance\u2019s endorsement by the National Rifle Association during his race for the Senate, the folks at Giffords also were frustrated that Trump had made him his running mate.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite what you heard tonight, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have promised the gun lobby they would repeal President Biden\u2019s popular, bipartisan gun safety law that finally criminalized trafficking guns to violent drug cartels,\u201d said Emma Brown, Giffords executive director. \u201cLast weekend\u2019s horrific assassination attempt demonstrated that no level of security can guarantee anyone\u2019s safety\u2014not even a former president\u2019s\u2014when dangerous people have easy access to weapons of war. Republicans and Democrats alike are concerned about gun violence in this country, yet Donald Trump and JD Vance have consistently put gun industry profits over the safety of American communities. We owe it to future generations to keep this pair out of the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even the Brady campaign got in on the Vance bashing. And they continued the trend of blaming the gun not the gunman, insinuating that the response to the Trump assassination attempt should be more restrictive gun control laws.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust days after their party leader was shot and hundreds of others across the country killed and injured as a result of guns, Republican leaders failed to offer any solutions to the rising crisis of gun violence,\u201d said Brady President Kris Brown. \u201cInstead, they used the RNC\u2014an event that millions of voters tun into\u2014to mock Trump\u2019s gunshot injury, brag about irresponsible gun ownership and give away AR-15s.\u201d<\/p>\n
With increased reporting that President Joe Biden might step out of the presidential race, making it anyone\u2019s guess who the Democrat candidate would be, Brown made it clear that he\u2019s in favor of anyone but the pro-gun candidates on the Republican ticket.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis week reaffirmed what we\u2019ve known all along: Safety is on the ballot in November,\u201d he said. \u201cGuns are the number one killer of youth in America. Do we want leaders who will stand up for the well-being of our kids and communities? Or do we want leaders who will continue to ignore gun violence\u2014even as more than 300 people are shot every single day in this country?\u201d<\/p>\n
Yep, gun-ban groups hate J.D. Vance with a passion. And that fact makes me like him even more.<\/p>\n
