The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Bitter managed to talk to Clear Channel about the MAG advertising campaign. Seems they plead ignorance to the exact nature of Moms Against Guns: So, ignorance is no excuse, right? I would agree with that to a point. We all have biases. What concerns me is how this got so far – 30+ freakin’ billboards … Continue reading “Clear Channel & Moms Against Guns”
Yesterday we reviewed the very large donation by Clear Channel Outdoors and Interstate Advertising to Moms Against Guns. MAG is incorporated as a non-profit under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS tax code. [UPDATE: They are not incorporated as a 501(c)(3), but rather, as a limited liability company. In other words, they are a for-profit corporation. … Continue reading “Moms Against Guns: Violating IRS Tax Code”
With Shannon Watts speaking about drawing 400 protestors out to Riverfront Park, we decided to take a walk down there to see whether she was living up to expectations. More importantly, given that last year at Indianapolis, Watts hired armed security, we were wondering whether she’d be dumb enough to bring armed security into parks … Continue reading “Moms Demand (Not Much) Action”
Dave Kopel wrote a wonderful article in the September issue of America’s First Freedom about the fake narrative of just being a stay-at-home mom that Shannon Watts created for herself. He highlights her political work as the Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan’s Public Affairs Officer during the same period that the governor was doing public events … Continue reading “Moms, Maids, & Lies”
VSSA does a great job of taking apart a story that anti-gun groups are trying to push to promote the narrative that they are somehow going to win the battle over the Second Amendment on social media because they are supposedly being so innovative by going to SXSW and hosting sparsely attended panels on social … Continue reading “Guns & Social Media Debates”
Did I leave anyone out? It seems like Max Nacheman is out to rebrand the anti-gun movement into one big happy family – or at least laugh all the way to the bank on every group’s dime. First, he was on the payroll of MAIG while also speaking to policymakers as a representative of the … Continue reading “Joyce Brady Mayors and Moms Against Illegal Gun Coalitions on Violence Policy Campaign”
This report indicates that some mothers actually did march against guns this weekend. Hundreds of mothers and other activists have been marching the streets of New York City to protest gun violence. Gloria Cruz of the Million Mom March in New York says she wants to honor children who have died as a result of … Continue reading “Millions Hundreds ? of Moms March”
Bitter offers up some more information about the Moms Against Guns Billboard fiasco. I mentioned a client of Clear Channel Outdoor that threatened to put the rest of their planned campaign out to bid again unless pro-Second Amendment messages are posted in the area – with the same number and at the same cost (we … Continue reading “More on the Billboard Issue”
So if Moms Against Guns is not a non-profit group, and is a corporation, what is the deal behind Clear Channel Outdoors and Interstate Outdoor Advertising donating billboards to them? Are these two companies aware they just made a major donation to a for-profit corporation? That would lead me to believe that Clear Channel Outdoors … Continue reading “The Plot Thickens”
Time for some tab clearing. Sorry for the light posting. Things are getting busy, and my sinuses haven’t been managing this odd seasonal change, or not change, as the case may be, well at all. No, The ‘March For Our Lives’ Isn’t Defining A Generation Bloomberg’s money is making a big difference: “In the struggle … Continue reading “Monday News Links”
