‘Just Shoot Them
All,’ Say Moms Demand Action Activists About Texas Gun Rights Group
by Lana Shadwick15 Mar 2016
The presence of a gun rights group at the Texas State Capitol during President Obama’s visit
to the SxSW festival elicited members of Moms
Demand Action for Gun Sense to call for gun violence against the group.
Among other incitements to violence, “Just shoot them all,” and “Shoot the
a**bags,” they said.
Moms Demand Action members posted, “Do[n]’t arrest them
just shoot them, these people are crazy,” “Time to use an assault weapon on
this trash,” “Just shoot them all…,” and “Mow them down.” Another added,
“a**hats. no one has taken your guns. you are the ones causing problems.
[P]lease just shoot each other.”
The founder of Open Carry Texas told Breitbart Texas,
“It’s my belief that the reason the Moms Demand Action crowd are so opposed to
guns in the hands of the public is because they obviously can’t be trusted with
guns in public.”
C J Grisham, president and founder of Open Carry Texas (OCT), a Second Amendment and pro-gun group
tweeted the group’s comments on their Facebook page commenting, “Moms Demand
Action for Gun Sense in America, for a group that is supposedly the halo’d
angels of the gun debate,…”:

The women were responding to a Time magazine article reporting that
Open Carry Texas planned
to hand out literature and show attendees at the South by
Southwest festival that “gun owners are no different than anyone
else.” As reported
by Breitbart Texas, President Obama attended the conference held in Austin,
Texas.

The anti-gun activists posted the Time article on their
Facebook page deceivingly stating, “Texas open carry extremists are making
threats against President Obama as he prepares to attend South by Southwest.”
The women went berserk speculating that the President’s
presence in Texas with gun rights groups blocks away somehow endangered the
commander in chief. OCT has attended the SxSW conference during the last three
years and planned only to have groups of up to ten people at one entrance of
the Texas State Capitol – nowhere near the festival or the president.
One woman posted, “Lock them.up..and throw away the
key..we don’t need another assassination on Texas soil..or anywhere for that
matter..they threaten..no joke..we take school kids threats seriously ..and not
these adults??” Another said, “I hope the Secret Service mows them down if
these jerks show up. Leave their bodies to the scavengers.”
In an apparent reference to the 1963 assassination of
President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, another MDM member posted, “It’s not a
good idea for Democratic presidents to go to Texas. I hope he’s wearing bullet
proof gear. All of these treasonous idiots threatening him should be arrested.”
The anti-gun group’s misleading Facebook post of the Time
article has received almost 1000 Facebook shares as of the time of publication
of this article.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is an anti-gun
organization funded by Michael Bloomberg. The former mayor of New
York City is listed by Forbes Magazine as ranking #14 in the world for
billionaires ($37.4 billion). Besides owning a financial news organization, he
is a founder of Mayors
Against Illegal Guns. Open Carry leaders say he funds the activities
of Moms Demand Action in America and in Texas. The group is run by former
Monsanto Director of Corporate and Public Affairs Shannon Troughton. Troughton
is accused by Lone Star Gun Rights of “hid[ing] her identity by hiding under
the name Shannon Watts.”
Alice Tripp from the Texas State Rifle Association told
Breitbart Texas during the legislative session that Moms Demand Action
“apparently are a politically-motivated organization that appeared for the
first time to be attached to a lobbyist.” The group has been accused of “not
just being Mommies,” but rather a highly organized political operation. Tripp
said there has not been a paid anti-gun lobbyist at the Texas Capitol since
2001. Nina Butts was the lobbyist back then for the Brady anti-gun campaign. Butts
left the Capitol after it became dominated by Republicans. Tripp says a
Bloomberg-funded lobbyist is now working at the Texas Capitol.
Breitbart Texas helped expose Moms Demand Action when a
witness mislead the Texas Senate in May 2015. As reported, a woman testifying
for the group was called on the carpet for misleading legislators by implying
by omission that the tragic killing of her husband by her son resulted from the
use of a firearm. In reality, her son killed his father with a pipe wrench and
a knife. The fact that her son owned what she called “an arsenal” had no
bearing on the murder. Open Carry Texas produced a short video which contrasted
the woman’s testimony at the Capitol with newspaper and television reports
about the murder and her son’s trial.
Terry Holcomb, Executive Director of Texas Carry told
Breitbart Texas during the 2015 Texas legislative session, “The sloppy tactics
expose MDA daily of being a fraud that seems to fit in-line with Eric Holders’
statement about a need to brainwash the American public about firearms.”
Breitbart Texas covered the testimony given by other
women who testified on May 18, 2105 at the Capitol in a story entitled “Moms
Demand Action: Bloomberg’s ‘Stepford Robots’ in Texas (with video).” This
article also included a video published by OCT president and founder, C.J.
Grisham. The video shows women from Moms Demand Action dutifully reading the
same script over, and over, and over again. The videotape was taken from Texas
legislative video archives.
Terry Holcomb, Executive Director of Texas Carry, another
Second Amendment group, refers to the women as the “Bloomberg cult.” He called
the women who testified at the Texas Senate Committee “sock puppets.” Holcomb
told Breitbart Texas, “It’s sad, really. They are conditioned not to think for
themselves. They have become so irrelevant that they are given a script by the
Bloomberg heads and told to just read it.” “They had a printed form with a
fill-in-the-blank for their name,” he said. Richard Briscoe, Legislative
Director for OCT, told Breitbart Texas, “I had to contain my laughter when I
could see that they had actually handwritten-in their name.”
The Breitbart Texas article also includes a video by Lone
Star Gun Rights. The group filmed Moms Demand Action leaders giving college
students scripts and telling them to wear their college t-shirts when
testifying against campus carry.
Grisham and his group, Open Carry Texas, have been very
politically active in the state. Breitbart Texas has written about their work at
the Texas Legislature to promote both open carry and campus carry bills. As
reported by Breitbart Texas in May 2015, Texas Open Carry also denounced a
controversial open carry advocate who was calling for the arrest and hanging of
Texas state elected officials who voted against an open carry bill.
