Father of Slain Virginia Reporter Joining Everytown, Shannon Watts, for Gun Control Rally
Breitbart ^ | 09/07/2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 09/07/2015 10:30:19 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Andy Parker–father of slain Virginia reporter Alison Parker–will be joining Everytown for Gun Safety and Shannon Watts for a gun control rally in Washington DC on September 10.

Richard Martinez–father of Santa Barbara victim Christopher Martinez–will also be at the rally, which was organized by Bloomberg-sponsored Everytown with the goal of convincing Congress to pass “common sense gun legislation.”

Universal background checks have been the central fixture of Everytown’s “common sense gun legislation” for nearly three years, and they were also one of the first things Andy Parker called for after his daughter’s death. However, Christopher Martinez’s gunman–Elliot Rodger–passed a background check for the gun he used in his attac, and Alison Parker’s gunman–Vester Lee Flannagan–passed a background check for his gun, so it is difficult to see a benefit in expanding the number of places in which people have to undergo the same check.

Is he calling for the banning of the “Black Lives Matter” slogan and the rainbow flag, too?

Hey was this killer’s “manifesto” ever been publically disclosed?

Common sense to this group is allowing only criminals to have guns to easily prey on the public.

Am I the only one who notices that the majority (if not all) of these cold blooded, cowardly killers are registered democRATs?

No. There are some well-researched lists out there on the internet that prove just that.

...so this will take place a day after Cruz/Trump/Palin protest Obama’s surrender to the Mullahs in Iran.

Let’s see how the media treats the two protests.

background checks are already required for gun purchases. With every murder with a firearm, we can point to a number of laws that were violated. More laws will not stop stop someone from using a firearm to kill someone.

Not a single proposed gun control measure would do anything to reduce gun violence.

The very act of killing someone is against the law.

How did the laws prevent this killing?

So lets have new laws...

Boggles the mind the stupidity of these people.

My God Given Constitutional Rights are not subject to Limitations by the Unlawful Actions of others.

I need my Guns to protect my Family from Criminals, Fantasy Obama Sons, Gay Obama loving Male Prostitutes and crazy A$$ skinny White Trash Dudes who can’t come to grips that Life isn’t fair.

The list is subject to updates as circumstance change.

I assume the Father wants to rescind HIPPA Privacy Protections and make Job Performance issues part of Legal Background Checks. Good luck with that...

Nope. That’s why Democrats, Liberals and Progressives should not be allowed Access to any Weaponry whatsoever.

Absolutely he is being financed by the Leftists who let no crisis go to waste.

This stupidity can never be pushed forward without destroying our Constitution.

The stupid Leftists want us to trust centralized governments and remove Individual Natural Rights from God and make the State into god. and grant us “collective” rights (antithetical to the US Constitution. (LOL)

That has been tried and done—and has led to hundreds of millions of people to starvation and slavery and gulags and death. There is ONLY one system of Freedom——which is the US Constitution which guarantees our Natural Rights from God-—and the State/Marxists have no “rights” under our Constitution (the Supreme Law of the Land) to take away our Individual Natural Rights which predated any governments.

BTW, the Leftists are destroying the Constitution by the destruction of Words. They have unconstitutionally destroyed the meaning of terms, so they could destroy and pervert the meaning of “Natural Rights from God” to make it meaningless—it is literally the Back Door of the Trojan horse to totalitarianism. We need to restore Right Reason to Just Law and put the 5 Marxist SCOTUS members in prison for Treason. They knew exactly what they were doing—which was to literally destroy our Constitution and destroy Reason in our children (Natural Law—basis of our Constitutional Rights).

Good Point!

But our Comrades on the #Left are real ‘selective’ in what they become outraged over.

When it's for their side the rules are different.
