Rep. John Lewis rallies with gun-owning mom against the NRA and Trump
By Oliver Willis | April 29, 2017




Lindsey Donovan, a mother and a gun owner from Georgia, is rallying with Rep. John Lewis against the NRA's "guns everywhere" agenda. She spoke to Shareblue as Donald Trump locked arms with the NRA at its annual convention.
Moms Demand Action





As the NRA holds its annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia Rep. John Lewis will be headlining a rally put together by gun safety advocates from Moms Demand Action and the Everytown Survivor Network.

The groups hope to “to stand and fight back against the NRA leadership’s dangerous ‘guns everywhere’ agenda that contributes to the more than 90 Americans who are shot and killed and the hundreds more who are injured every day.”

The NRA is currently advocating for “campus carry” in Georgia, which would make colleges and universities another free fire zone in American life. The organization is also opposed to enhanced background checks and has been pushing the Trump administration to help make silencers more accessible.

Shareblue spoke with Lindsey Donovan, who is an Army veteran, Muslim, gun owner, and the wife of an active-duty soldier who will be marching with Lewis.

Donovan said she became a part of the gun safety movement after Georgia passed its “guns everywhere” bill, which allowed residents to take guns into bars, night clubs, school classrooms, and some government buildings.

1. "Free fire zone" claims again I see

Every single time a change in concealed carry laws is proposed you see the same tired chicken little phrases from the prohibitionists- "Free fire zones" "wild west" "blood in the streets".

And every single time once it passes their predictions never come to pass.

But as soon as it gets proposed somewhere else they break it out again.

The same things were said when they proposed to allow CCW holders in NC to carry on restaurants that serve alcohol if they were not drinking. Same exaggerated claims of "free fire zones", "Wild West bar shootouts" and similar nonsense.

Over 2 years later not a single case of a licensed CCW holder causing and issues. But the prohibitionists never say "we were wrong" they just take the same tired, long disproved arguments to the next venue.

2. BS. Gunners count killing by folks like George Zimmerman as a justified self-defense shooting, not

what the really are -- intimidation, murders, etc.

Here's who the NRA selected for its Saturday night entertainment for the 79,976 white wingers attending the 2017 Convention --

3. Not a prohibitionist

Poster #1 referenced North Carolina and stated “Over 2 years later not a single case of a licensed CCW holder causing and issues.”

The incidents below all occurred in North Carolina in just 2016 & 2015.

Concealed Handgun Permit Holder: Kendall Rachard Thompson PENDING Date: February 23, 2016 People Killed: 1 Circumstances: On February 23, 2016, concealed handgun permit holder Kendall Rachard Thompson, 22, allegedly shot and killed Mohammad Waseem, 38.

4. Perhaps your reading comprehension is lacking

But my statement was in regard to the changes in the laws and that there have been none of the predicted problems now that a CCW holder can carry in a place like Applebees if they are not drinking.

The prohibitions were screaming there would be Wild West saloon shootouts and intoxicated gun toting madmen shooting everything up.

None of your cited incidents occurred in an establishment serving alcohol.

Because none of their predictions came to pass, as I said.
