It is #ImBlockedByShannonWatts. It got started after Shannon Watts tweeted that she was blocked by the National Rifle Association. You can see one of the many retweets of it below.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>\nBlocked by the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@NRA<\/a> &#8211; one of the country&#8217;s largest lobbying orgs scared of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MomsDemand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MomsDemand<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/gunsense?src=hash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#gunsense<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/cDEBpRruwX\">pic.twitter.com\/cDEBpRruwX<\/a><br \/>\n\u2014 Shannon (@shannonrwatts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shannonrwatts\/status\/548668004318208000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 27, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nIt turns out that Shannon Watts and her fellow gun prohibitionists are not so pristine when it comes to blocking opponents. Over the past few years, I found myself blocked first by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (sic) and then by Sarah Brady as you can see below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot2014-12-2710.31.22.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot2014-12-2710.31.22.png\" height=\"207\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot2014-12-2710.33.44.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Screenshot2014-12-2710.33.44.png\" height=\"231\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nI had been following Shannon Watts for a number of months now. It helps to keep an eye on the opposition and she (or some minion) seems to be quite active on Twitter. After seeing the #ImBlockedByShannonWatts hashtag on a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bob_owens\/status\/548678802034163712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet <\/a>by <a href=\"http:\/\/bearingarms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bob Owens of Bearing Arms<\/a>, I got curious.

Not that I&#8217;ll ever agree with them but at least they have the courage of their convictions and don&#8217;t block their opponents.<\/p>\n<p>I think the NRA made a mistake by blocking Shannon Watts. The move reinforces her aura of being &#8220;just a stay-at-home mom&#8221; working for &#8220;gun safety&#8221;. She is neither just a stay-at-home mom nor working for gun safety. She is the corporate shill for a meddling billionaire politician who wants to abrogate our constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p>I would encourage any gun rights activist who is active on Twitter to check to see if he or she is blocked by Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) or any of the gun prohibitionists organizations. If so, let the world know it by using the hashtag above. What Watts will call &#8220;bullying&#8221;, I would call the truth.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a new Twitter hashtag that is gaining currency thanks to the thin skins of the gun prohibitionists.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":2,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2399],"class_list":["post-1488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-imblockedbyshannonwatts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1488"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10123,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1488\/revisions\/10123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
