Moms Demand Attention Action, a left-wing anti-gun group founded by a Democrat activist and dedicated to implementing New Jersey style “common sense gun laws” … which allow a man to be sentenced to seven years in prison for transporting legally owned firearms in a locked box from his old residence to his new one… is strongly opposed to a new Michigan law that allows women in “domestic violence situations” expedited access to concealed carry permits. The shrill attention whores activists of MomsDemand are against the new law.
Regarding the expedited concealed carry permits now available to women who are in a domestic violence situation, (Moms Demand Spokesperson Kirsten) Moore does not approve. Even though that law was passed so women who face threats could quickly get and carry a gun for self-defense, Moore said the expedited permits show that Michigan is moving in the “wrong direction.”
OTOH, another shrill feminist thinks it’s white men who should be denied access to self-defense.
White guys cannot be trusted to use guns responsibly. It is time to stop giving guns to white guys,” (Shrill Feminist Andrea) Grimes added. ”I mean, it’s time to stop giving guns to everybody, but we can start with the white guys.”
On a personal note, I am on a quest to escape the People’s Republic of Maryland and move to a state with a less totalitarian stance on the Right to Self-Defense. (Maryland has neither a Castle Law, nor a Stand Your Ground law. In Maryland, if a criminal threatens you, you are legally required to put yourself at his mercy.) I texted my son that as soon as I move out, both myself and my companion will be getting CCW permits. His text in response is presented for your consideration:
I always thought gays should embrace CCW as an often victimized and persecuted group. Jews too… but we know how that normally goes. **sigh**
MDA reflects the Sisyphean progressive desire to force reality to shift for them.
Odd that Ms. Grimes thinks that it’s white men who are to blame for gun violence, since records show that it is black men who are responsible for a disproportionate amount of gun violence.
A pity that Maryland is such a progressive cesspool, it really is a lovely state. Question: does the fact that the state is mostly Methodist/Catholic have anything to do with the political orientation?
You’d think that with the rising anti-Semitism in Europe, Canada, and the US, that Jews would *want* to be able to have a gun for protection…
Same with anti-gay persecution and gays.
@ Paul: Oh, trust me. Here’s one queer who plans to buy a shotgun and a couple sidearms. And a sign on my property saying, “If you plan on hassling ‘the queer,’ I have a bullet with your name on it.”
@Paul, as documented by Ben Shapiro, most people classified as Jewish are Jewish in ancestry only. They do not attend Temple, many do not even believe in God. Those Jews are not persecuted.
It is only those who are practicing Jews that are the target, and they should seriously consider CCW.
Regarding “restraining orders” for those in domestic abuse situations, a piece of paper is mighty poor protection against the assailant’s fists, knives, machetes, and other assorted weapons of abuse. How many times have we read of individuals who file restraining orders only to end up dead at the hands of the abusers? Too many times. Years ago,I volunteered at a shelter for battered women and met two women there who were murdered by their boyfriend/husbands after getting restraining orders. And note, men can equally be victims of domestic abuse.
Relocation to a more sensible environment is always a good thing to consider. I’ve previously indicated, that’s what I’m in the midst of doing, so I know the feeling.
Allowing only criminals the right to bear arms is a dangerous thing for anti-gun, simpering pacifists. There’s always the risk of a bullet right between the eyes as they proceed in their busybody activities.
@Mary, yes you’re right a piece of paper is no defense. Especially in a nation here where it’s implicitly detailed that the government has no obligation to protect you in emergency situations. Yet the very same government attempts to stifle any options you might have to self-defense. A baseball bat isn’t going to do the job & only lethal force is a guarantor of safety.
A good question for POTUS-wannabe Chris Christie is what he’s done to push reform of these asinine gun laws. And if he’s signed any of them into law, then why should he receive any consideration for POTUS?
Fine examples of anarcho-tyranny.

She keeps saying that we shouldn’t “Give” white guys guns. Was there a place where they were being handed out and I missed it? I’m pretty sure all the white guys I know bought their own guns.
V the K, consider Utah.
It has full employment and Help Wanted signs up everywhere.
Over 20% (more than one in five) adults here have a $20 concealed carry permit, leading to such a polite populace.
Anyone may carry openly as well as in their cars and trucks.
Police have zero interest in writing tickets to fill the coffers as the Government Liquor Stores fill that function beautifully.
We escaped from CA and have been happy every day and night with our decision.

Leftists 2-3%ers aka present day homonazis/communists continually seeking to disarm the majority normal population. Give it a rest, already. Meanwhile, how about that economic recovery, six months and going strong? Who doesn’t love declining energy prices and a strong dollar? Perhaps those leftist 2-3%ers that believe in central planning?
On “New Jersey’s Common-sense Gun Laws”, I live in NJ;
– It’s 6-weeks on a year to first get a required “Firearms Card” from your local Police Chief, issued solely at his discretion AFTER a NJ State Police and FBI background check. This allows you to touch a gun legally at the store, and purchase a long-gun-only.
– Then you have to separately apply to the local Police Chief for a “Handgun Purchase Permit, again at his discreteion and can take another 6-weeks to a year — If he thinks you have good-cause to own one.
– Then you can only have it secured in your home-only; not your business, car or on your person. And you can only transport it — UNLOADED — to the gunsmith or the licensed gun-range (No stops for gas or to pee allowed) locked in the trunk of your car separate from your ammo or the magazines.
– And you can’t use “self-defense” ammunition since it’s illegal to use hollow-points so you can only load full-metal jacket military ammo or soft-lead cowboy loads.
– And you still might get criminally-charged for defending yourself in your own home.
“Common-sense”?? Hah!
“White guys cannot be trusted to use guns responsibly.”
Like the ‘white guys’ who fought the War for Independence, or WWII, or who liberated Kuwait? Those White guys? Referencing a later post, I’m sure that NONE of the White guys she knows could be trusted to use a spoon responsibly, let alone a firearm. Just another example of Progressive projection.
It is not enough to just buy a firearm or two, and have a CCW. We should become activists. Join or form a chapter of Pink Pistols and go to a firing range and fire a box or two of ammo. When I lived in the U.S. it was fun to go to Angelus Forrest and meet other Second, Amendment gays and lesbians. Most states have a rifle and pistol association, which monitors the legislature on pro and anti gun bills. Above all join the NRA. We know who the big mouths are such as Andrea Grimes, Dick Durbin, and Diane Finestein, but it is the quiet or closeted antigun candidate or incumbent that we don’t know. The NRA’s questionnaire exposes the bias or support a candidate has for the Second Amendment, Since I’m not a hunter, (except for men in gay bars) I recommend their America First magazine.
You have to go to the firing range a couple times a year to keep your skills. The bacon eating secular jews want guns they just don’t want anyone else to have it. When the jewish Bolsheviks killed 60+ million white Christians during the Holodomor first they took away the guns, then the took away all of the food including seeds to plant. I was never that brainwashed to think blacks don’t commit most crimes I just gave the lame excuses.
A man recently shot a woman in the head in a road rage incident in Houston. I had the great displeasure of witnessing it on the freeway. This is the kind of stuff that makes the NRA proud while the rest of us wonder why we have a gun culture run amok. What’s next – we all have grenades in our back seat and tanks in our garages? This paranoia that the govt is out to get you has gotten insane
Hey kojoto, guess what?
When you start trolling boards for urban music where “putting a cap in yo ass” is every second lyric line and go walking through gang-infested neighborhoods screaming at them about their “culture”, then we’ll believe you’re serious.
But for now, we’re just going to point out that you’re an anti-gun bigot and idiot Obama parrot repeating leftist lies in an attempt to shame us into giving up the rights that your fascist Democrat Party wants so desperately to strip from honest law-abiding citizens.
You called the NRA murderers. And that shows you are a worthless piece of lying libelous sh*t.
