The Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund put out a list of the U.S. House Candidates it’s endorsing in the upcoming election cycle.
With at least a $60 million bankroll to spend on these politicians in 2020, Everytown thinks it is in the catbird seat relative to a financially strained and embattled National Rifle Association.
The organization, which is funded primarily by failed presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, believes its anti-gun candidates will win, and win big because they’ve signed on to support legislation that chills the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens.
“The data makes one thing crystal clear — gun safety is going to be a winning issue in each and every competitive race this year,” said Charlie Kelly, senior political advisor for Everytown for Gun Safety in a press release.

If you’re lacking inspiration to get to the polls this year, watch this 10-minute video featuring Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, the sister organization of Everytown for Gun Safety:
An excerpt:
Question from the interviewer: “What would be the greatest dream for you? What do you ultimately want to see happen for our country and for the world?”
“Passing all these good laws at a federal level, keeping our foot on the NRA’s neck so they are no longer powerful, and then maybe I can go back and learn how to garden,” responds Watts.
You left out OHIO?? We have a bunch of antigunners!!
I am a “LEGAL” immigrant and AMERICAN by choice. gone through the Japanese occupation an the” BERSIAP
debacle, the time when Indonesians butchered non-Indonesians at will. Worked at Borromeus hospital in Bandoeng during that period and seen with my own eyes, was 17 at that time, what was done in the name of “INDEPEDANCE”.
We in America will experience anarchy, people will not realize this is already happening sans bullets. What is happing now is the prelude to a full scale bloody hell. Pick your side and be prepared.
It is déjà vu for me and I am bloody pissed off. Everyone should go trough a time of bloodshed and lose a loved one so one will appreciate the blessing they had in the past. Going through 3 and a half year of Japanese occupation and not knowing if it will ever end, living through the “Bersiap” debacle and witnessed unspeakable savagery as a teenager has given me a different perspective of life. Todays youth are nincompoops, have other words but the gentleman I am will refrain.
This here curmudgeon does have his ducks in a row and then some!
My message, if I may be so frank, see, listen critically what is happening, think and do not be a lemming.
BTW, it is a myth but the expression is kosher, the implication is apropos.
To love the flag and country one has to witness foreign troops take down the flag, walk, spit and urinate on it. America today has become like ancient Rome.
Why are there still people willing to die to come to America???
Shannon Watts if you quit gardening in order to help keep the feet in the NRA’s neck (OF WHICH I’M A MEMBER) to silence us if I were you I’d find a different hobby because you couldn’t have been that good of a gardener to begin with, and we WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!
A traitor with a pretty face and botox lips is still a traitor. Maybe Shannon Watts needs to move to LA’s Watts district. I think she would do a 180.
A traitor with a pretty face and botox lips is still a traitor.
Send some CN-DN gas to Minniha!
Gas the Lawbreakers!
When they quit vomiting their guts up maybe they will think twice ab out rioting again…
“Common sense gun laws”
Anyone who uses this specific terminology to oppose the 2A should be asked to list all gun laws they will concede defy “common sense.”
That list does NOT exist, to them all gun laws are “common sense.”
It would help to publish a list of PRO-gun people to vote FOR. I am afraid that in some of the less free states, such as here in Illinois, that list would be blank.
Shannon Watts wants to repeal the 1st and 2nd Amendments in one fell swoop. They are anti-2nd amendment obviously and “keeping our feet on the NRA’s neck” essentially silences the 1st Amendment.
You left out Terri Sewell , Bham. Al. She also murders the unborn.
Where in the world does she get her numbers? 75% of NRA members? That is an out right lie! 90 % of the population? Of you “group” maybe! I love how they give numbers of polled citizens yet in my 57+ years of life I have never been polled by an anti gun faction! Your right you should learn how to garden, things I was taught as a child, and stay out of the general population, you’re not fit to lead a patrol of snails! My rights don’t end where your feelings begin! Come and take it!
I can not believe you left Sherrod Brown Senator (D) Ohio off of this list!!! Maybe you want to review it again!
I would say there are two reasons. Number 1 the article says House members not all members of congress. Number 2 the senator does not face re-election until 2024.
It’s all CONGRESS, not the Senate.
“All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives” – Article I, Section 1 US Constitution. CONGRESS refers to both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The headline specifies “US House” candidates – no mention of Congress, no mention of Senate.
