Last week several major Texas press outlets ran a story with headlines calling the gun-banning, Bloomberg-funded, Everytown for Gun Safety a “gun safety group.”
Everytown is no more a “gun safety” group than any country named a “peoples republic” is an actual republic or democracy.
These are the same press outlets, Hearst owned papers, Austin’s Statesman, and others that refuse to use the term “pro-life” in a headline most always calling pro-life groups “anti–abortion” just as they do not call the other side pro-abortion but “pro-choice”. As Leftist propagandists, they slant the language of the news to make Leftist ideas sound good and opposing ideas bad.
Would you trust a group that doesn’t even know how guns work with “gun safety?”
Those stories on Everytown’s big Texas spend referred to the group as a “gun safety” organization throughout the narrative and discussed how it plans to spend at least $8 million in Texas to pass Bloomberg-style, remember he funds them, gun control legislation.
A quote from the gun-banning group’s political director, Chris Carr, tells you Everytown is not about “gun safety” but that such is simply a pretext to anti-Second Amendment gun banning: “We believe that Texas, as it becomes younger and increasingly diverse, can be the next emerging battleground state with gun safety as the tipping point,” Carr said. [Emphasis added.]
If “gun safety” issues are used as a tipping point that means such is not the actual goal and prompts one to ask: Where or to what will the issue tip after enacting the “gun safety” measures? The group’s financial backer, Michael Bloomberg has already let us know: citizens should not be able to have effective firearms for self-protection or any other reason, the Constitution be damned.
Everytown admits it isn’t about “gun safety” but Texas press boosts group’s propaganda anyway
