"The standard tactic from Michael Bloomberg’s personally funded Gun Control Hysteria Formerly Known as Moms Demand Action is pretty well established by now. Step one: pick a common fast food restaurant that an upper middle class white family would regularly visit. Step two: find an instance of scary looking guns being in one of their locations. Step three: bully the fast food chain until they can claim some minor form of victory. Step four: claim that “gun bullies” are trying to unfairly force their opinion on the same restaurants that they just forced their will upon. Lather, rinse, repeat. Today’s target: Chipotle."

Am I the only one who is starting to notice the soccer mom trend for chains under attack, by the way? First Starbucks and now Chipotle? I realize that Shannon Watts only became motivated to “reduce gun violence” after a bunch of white New England children were murdered (apparently black children in Chicago don’t motivate Shannon), but from the person who used to do public relations for Monsanto, I would expect a more coherent strategy than “only get irritated when gun nuts come into restaurants I like.”

Twitchy opines:


Anti-gun nuts Moms Demand Action attempted to intimidate the Chipotle Mexican Grill chain after some open carry activists in Dallas suggested eating at one of the restaurants after a scheduled “open carry walk.” Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, launched a hashtag campaign at the burrito makers. Naturally the sight of law abiding Texans legally carrying legal firearms is disturbing to the disturbed Bloomberg-funded gun grabbers. Normal people had a different reaction.

It’s actually pretty good reading, the responses Twitchy posted. But things get better. Chipotle reacted with a logical and legal response: they abide by the state laws in which their restaurants exist. So when I carry my legally concealed handgun into their stores to enjoy their burritos (and strangely have yet to “snap” and start murdering people, despite going there every week) the company has no issue with that.

Shannon’s response to a rational statement: pure insanity.
.@ChipotleTweets Law allows me to sing loudly while breast feeding. May I? Why allow open carry of guns? #MomsDemand #burritosnotbullets

I agree. These "God Given Rights" existed before Madison wrote the Bill of Rights. We can all thank Thomas Jefferson, the Anti-Federalists and the State delegates for the creation of the Bill of Rights otherwise the U.S. Constitution would never have been ratified. Madison penned those words only because Ratification of the Constitution by the States was in jeopardy without this "Bill of Rights" concession with specific safeguards on limits of Federal Power and Individual Rights Guarantees. James Madison's thoughts on the matter of a "Bill of Rights" was changed completely by Thomas Jefferson.

Just one Federalist argument of many: Very dangerous to create a Bill of Rights because the "Government" may "Infringe" on individual God Given rights not listed.

Anti-Federalists thoughts: We just got rid of one Oppressive Government with War, why would I want to create another?

The Bill of Rights was demanded by the People.

Well said ShootDontTalk....

Some folks are afraid it will. It doesn't concern me since there are way too many places I can go. Bridgeport, Decatur, Springtown, we even have a store in Cottondale down the road about 10 miles...

If somebody launches a petition to force the "moms demand action cartel" to stop lying I will gladly sign it...
