On Friday, Vice’s Twitter account tweeted out a previous Vice article from June 14, 2016, entitled, “A Very Incomplete List of People Gun Rights Activists Think Should Be Armed.”
The brief article is a lamentation of the belief of Second Amendment advocates, specifically “the NRA and other right-wing groups,” that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”
The tweet (below) reads, “The NRA wants to put guns in the hands of: Schoolteachers, Preachers, Anyone who goes into a nightclub, Women …just to name a few.”
According to author Harry Cheadle – who evidently believes that women shouldn’t be afforded Constitutional protections or exercise our God-given human rights – “the goal [of 2A advocates] is to make sure everyone is prepared to engage in a shootout at all times.”
“And by everyone, I mean everyone,” he emphasized.
So, just who, exactly, does Vice believe should be considered prohibited from exercising his/her Second Amendment rights?
“Here is a surely incomplete list of people that gun rights activists believe should be packing heat. Once all of these categories of Americans are all carrying guns on them at all times, presumably we will finally be safe…”
The listed include (as worded the article), but are not limited to:
-Women
-Gay people
-Jews
-Holocaust victims
-Some people who commit domestic violence
-Firefighters
-Every black person in America
-Pilots on planes
-People on the terrorist watch list
Yes, ladies, you read that right. A gun in the hand of a woman is as great a risk as possible terrorists. I can imagine Mr. Cheadle must be petrified at the sight of a woman behind the wheel of a car!
Ahhh!
Yes, Mr. Cheadle is apparently quite fearful of women, Holocaust victims, and black Americans, among others.
Well, as you might expect, this didn’t go over too well on Twitter. Here are just a few of the (often snark-filled) reactions.
Considering how grope happy Vice staff have been proven to be of course the idea of armed women scares you.

This is dangerous territory… If you give women guns they'll want to vote and own land too.

Darn Republicans, trying to treat women equally.

And, in case you are wondering about my own response to Vice’s tweet… I joined the NRA.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our brand new GiveSendGo page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
