(12,194 posts)37. Its out there.
If I remember right, this is one she deleted almost immediately, like so many other 'tell' tweets shes made. The florida gun registration one is another example. See, she does that when the mask slips and someone points it out to her. Its somewhat like a celebrity wardrobe malfunction, except instead of literal, its figurative.
Instead of a garment slipping to reveal skin, her mask slips and shows everyone her ugly beliefs and intentions.
"Watts mask slipped and she showed everyone her ass", essentially.
(note to potential "speech" jury, the above is a figure of said speech)
Someone else already demolished your facile arguments about straw purchases in Chicago, so I'll just touch on this part of it:
So go outside of Chicago & cook co to buy guns, it's a workable strategy to curb illicit sales within the city.
See, this is where you're wrong James. Again. A judge found that it was NOT a "workable strategy". Part of a strategy being "workable" is that strategy being ALLOWED. The judge found that such a strategy was not ALLOWED.
The point is that Watts, presumably Bloomberg, and of course their sycophants, were DISAPPOINTED with the judges ruling which prevented an anti-gun anti-second amendment "strategy" from being implemented.
Disappointed, because they're anti-gun and anti-second amendment.
Shannon watts lied.

I suppose it would be easier to privatize for profit if it were merged into one.
