Gov. Rick Perry slammed as “callous” for gun factory visit so soon after Navy Yard rampage

BETHESDA, Md. — A pro-gun control group has slammed Texas Gov. Rick Perry for “inappropriate timing,” calling it “callous” for him to visit a Beretta USA gun factory just two days after a mass shooting left a dozen innocent people dead at the nearby Washington Navy Yard.

“It’s callous that Gov. Perry… would show so little sensitivity,” to victims the Navy Yard rampage, said Jenifer Pauliukonis, Maryland head of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

“Listen, there’s always anti-gun individuals,” Perry responded, asked about the criticism after meeting with business leaders and top Maryland Republicans at Morton’s steakhouse in Bethesda, in suburban Washington. “The fact is, I’m a pro-Second Amendment guy. Texas is a pro-Second Amendment state. Beretta has been a great manufacture in Maryland and they feel not only under-appreciated, they feel under attack.”

Because a gun factory caused some goofy black guy to attack the navy?

Sure thing.

This group is just a front for OFA. Why they get any play, is obvious. DISTRACT, DISTRACT, DISTRACT!

Was it as callous as Obama making a speech on political theory right after he had made the announcement about the killings?

I thought it was an AR-15 shotgun that was used, not a Baretta.

Most likely another neo-fascist Soros group.

Soros Spends Nearly $7 Million to Push Gun Control

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/liz-thatcher/2013/04/23/soros-spends-nearly-7-million-push-gun-control

People should also be aware that Soros has hired an unknown number of PR firms to write propaganda and disinformation. These screeds are sent to sympathetic left wing news organizations like the NYT and the WSJ and appear as “news” articles.

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense has a huge reservoir of funding, likely from Bloomberg and Soros, and almost certainly in the millions of dollars.

Soros alone, since 2000 has given at least $550 million through his Open Society organization.

This has nothing to do with “free speech”. This is buying public policy that opposes the US constitution.

How utterly callous, insensitive and boorish for Jenifer Pauliukonis, Maryland head of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, to be a grandstanding attention whore so soon after the Navy Yard rampage.

Doesn’t Jenifer Pauliukonis have even a shred of decency? The victims haven’t yet been laid to rest, yet there she is front and center, pimping her political hot button in the press, as a way of saying, “Hey, everybody, look at me!”.

Unlike normal people who are horrified by the violence that can be inflicted by a madman, people like Jenifer Pauliukonis relish such occasions, becoming energized and enthusiastic whenever such a tragedy occurs, as they rush to make a big stink, just to get their name in the paper.

Pathetic and disgusting, even for a sociopath like you, Jenifer.

I was thinking the same thing. Is she related to Julia Roberts?

maybe not the smartest move,

If someone drove a car into a crowd of people, would Perry be criticized for visiting a Chevy dealer?

Don't ever even partly agree with these a$$wipes. Give them nothing.

The Texas governor has nothing to do with choosing school textbooks. If you lived in Texas you could run for the State board of Education, or help get liberals tossed out and good conservatives elected to the SBoE at the next election. I believe they are the ones who make these types of decisions.

Apparently you are unaware of the massive flow of illegals into MD. Plus all the black gangs and drugs.

how about the president’s timing?

a shout-out to the native peeps before mentioning the Ft Hood massacre and a partisan harrrangue while DoD civilians were still bleeding, dying and hiding at military base 4 miles from the White Hut.

I would like to see him as President.

He might have been except for the brain freeze during the debate in the Republican Primary. Of course MSM latched on to it like a pit bull denigrating Perry's intelligence. The fact that when Zero goes off telepromter and draws colored lines is of no import to the MSM.
