Moms Demand Action bills itself as a “grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence.” The nonprofit’s website notes that former Monsanto communications executive Shannon Watts started Moms Demand Action the “day after the Sandy Hook Tragedy in 2012… with the message that all Americans can and should do more to reduce guns violence.”
But Shannon and her gun-control organization have been curiously quiet about leftist Virginia attorney general candidate and former commonwealth delegate Jay Jones, who reportedly was fond of fantasizing about putting “two bullets” in the head of a Republican politician he loathed.
As of Monday evening, Jones proudly included Moms Demand Action’s logo — including the leftist group’s coveted Gun Sense Candidate seal of approval — on his AG campaign page. Moms says its Gun Sense Candidate program “is meant to signal to our ten million supporters, volunteers, and gun safety voters across the country that, if elected, a candidate will govern with gun safety in mind.”
I wonder if Jones had gun safety in mind when he wrote in 2022 of then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, that if Jones were given the choice to kill three people with two bullets — Adolf Hitler, Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, or Gilbert, the longtime Virginia House member would get “two bullets to the head.”
