That movie that Katie Couric was pushing for moms demand action, was apparently shown this last Saturday, and photos were leaked of the attendance:





And yet Shannon watts continues the "handful of extremists" talking point:

I believe the emotion and the passion of women in this country is the very obvious counter to the extremism and nihilism of this very small group of vocal gun extremists,” Watts said.

1. After watching Michael Moore's "Where to Invade Next" my wife and I were impressed by women's power

in some of the countries, particularly Iceland. We did not know of the one day strike by the Icelandic women that brought everything to a halt. Protesting is fine, but it needs to express power. My wife brought up that American women in the past brought expressed their power, Getting the vote for women was one such action. I love this picture from "Women's Day Off," Iceland has never been the same since and the changes are for the better. Take a page from Lysistrata or the modern version by Spike Lee, Chi-Raq.

Dolmedes: Lysistrata had them all take a solemn oath: "Stop the murder madness or there will be no more po." That's right, you get none.

Lysistrata: Repeat after me: I will deny all rights of access or entrance.

2. I was going to watch that movie....

Then I realized I don't have Epix. Sad.

Controllers gotta control.

4. I saw the anemic "crowd" in a town hall PBS broadcast in Orlando...

That broadcast followed on the heels of yet another gun-control doc, airing less than 2 weeks ago, in a "double barreled" effort by PBS.

MSM has always been an advertising ATM for the controllers, but the "issue" has been lodged into the journalism mindset for so long, I think it has lost track of popular sentiment, failing to catch even a drift of what is beyond the Beltway, SF, NYC, Baltimore, and a few other elite concentrations. Journalists seem to think that gun-control will benefit from the old time religion of a "movement" getting a 60s-type boost from powerful MSM coverage. It didn't then. It doesn't now.

3. "passion of women:" The fasted growing demographic in gun ownership.

Gun controllers stirred up a cultural hornet's nest 40+ years ago, the political consequences of which are obvious to all. Now, there is angst and grinding of teeth over the "enemies" which they conceived and defined. That culture war was created by elites, and that battle is still carried by elites, no matter how destructive to larger, vastly more important issues.

5. LOL! Ironic movie title, to say the least!!

It was in their book 'Under the Gun' that liberal criminologists James Wright & Peter Rossi essentially stated that "gun control" represented misdirected energy.

Jimmy Carter had commissioned them to investigate the effects of the 1968 gun laws, and was disappointed in their findings.

Wright & Rossi openly state that at the beginning of their research they fully anticipated that gunz would be indicted by their findings. Nope. Ooooooooops!!
