Indiana mom wants awb

[cobber]

After all the hype, they're still well under 15,000 likes on FB. Pretty much says it all, they claim this represents their 'membership' in several states.

Whoopee.

Love the "We don't need a Well Regulated Militia anymore" posts. Wish I wasn't blocked so I could respond, lol

I can't even read their twaddle anymore without having the urge to .

But they've clearly shot their er, wad?

You folks are silly, it is still their page to run how ever they want too. Where is that butthurt cream

No kidding. Wonder if it would have just fallen between the cracks if left to founder on its own stupidity. Those kind of FB pages are a dime a dozen. What makes this one different?

They managed to get a lot of PR and media exposure early on...

She had a news blurb on the local media. And for all that they still only have....how many likes/fans/followers/whatever?

Just for the sake of comparison, these are the "likes" for NATIONAL, well-known, entrenched, well-funded (relatively speaking) organizations: the Coalition to stop Gun Violence has only 21,xxx likes; the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has only 49,xxx likes.

Connecticut Against Gun Violence can't even muster 5,000 after what it just went through.

I'm not buying the fact that she wasn't helped with all the "extra" coverage she got from the peripheral exposure.

The NRA has 1.7 million likes.

2nd Amendment has 550,000. (This isn't affiliated with any national/state group. It's just a generic FB page for people who support the 2A.)

GOA has 146,000

Second Amendment Foundation has 26,000

Gun Owners has 139,xxx. (Another generic FB page)

That's just fine with me as I normally OC

 

[kawtech87]

I think we should encourage this woman to move to Chicago.

They have total gun control, so she should feel safe there right? You know since all the bad guys dont carry guns?..... Right?....

 

[cobber]

I don't, but I would be glad to, just to make her feel safer.

 

[Roadie]

Anyone else want to see how much she is paying herself to head up this "non profit"?

Shannon Watts is not a 'stay at home mom' who started a grass roots movement. She is a professional agitator/spin artist (depending on who hired her). She owns a PR company and she's trying to make a name for herself. She obviously has very deep connections with the Democrat party. You don't get a job in government PR unless you know the right people.

Public Affairs Officer
Missouri State Government
1993 – 1998 (5 years) Jefferson City, Missouri

Worked for Governor Mel Carnahan, the Missouri House of Representatives, and the Missouri Department of Economic Development.

Agreed. Her "movement" isnt getting press because of numbers, but because of Marketing. Period.

I want to start a FB group called "AMillionDadsNeedAChickenPotPieLady"...

repped

 

[daddymikey1975]

Every time I see a pro 2A picture, I share it on facebook and make sure to tag @One Million Moms for Gun Control... That way her notifications keep going off for being tagged in another picture.

she denied me the right to post comments on her page.. So I frequently re share her pictures w/ dumb comments and tag every opportunity that I can. Hope she gets sick of it
