Lawrence O'Donnell DESTROYS Testimony Of Female Wing-Nut Gun Rights Advocate Gayle Trotter

14. Trotter fought AGAINST VAWA before her Senate testimony for allowing assault weapons

Gayle Trotter Opposed Law To Protect Women Before Testifying On Guns For Moms

Trotter based her defense of gun rights on the need for women to defend themselves against those who would commit violent acts against them. Back in 2012, she was not as supportive of the federal government’s efforts to protect women with VAWA. The law, she wrote on the website of the Independent Women’s Forum, could promote false accusations of domestic violence.

Trotter opposed VAWA, she wrote last year, because it opened the door to false accusers wasting taxpayer funds.

“Americans all want to deter violence, but we also need to protect that foundational principle of the presumption of innocence,” said her April 2012 post. “Needed resources like shelters and legal aid can be taken by false accusers, denying real victims of abuse access to these supports. That result runs directly counter to the VAWA’s spirit.”

HOW MANY women have gone into the public or private sphere with high-capacity assault weapons and started shooting up people? Usually the perps are male. For whatever reason (I'm not slamming men here. That's just how it is.)

Yet this dingbat's answer to this is to fight AGAINST the VAWA and FOR continuing to allow assault weapons.

Where WAS she when they were handing out BRAINS?
