Alyssa Milano Ripped For Tweeting Blatant Lie On AR-15s

I’m so incredibly tired of this nonsense.

Right now, liberals are busying themselves, blaming the NRA and guns for the terrible tragedy in Texas. Never mind the SCUMBAG MURDEROUS PSYCHO who committed the crime. Nope. Forget him. The NRA enabled and empowered him.

As you can see, Alyssa Milano is claiming that you don’t need to undergo a background check to purchase an AR-15 in Texas. Then again, she’s also one of those idiots who probably wants to ban barrel shrouds, so what do you expect?

There are no background checks on long guns (AR15s) in Texas.

Thanks for the info @shannonrwatts.

Uh…

Background checks aren’t REQUIRED in Texas on long guns. If you buy from Walmart, they’ll do one. If you buy privately they don’t have to.

Background checks aren’t required for private transactions anywhere. Why? Because they’re private transactions, not business transactions.

— The Disgruntled Vet (@ExtraRegularJoe) November 6, 2017

Oh my gosh. She’s an Actual Idiot. She has no idea how any of this works.

Regulating private transaction is not the job of the government.

— The Disgruntled Vet (@ExtraRegularJoe) November 6, 2017

Bingo. Mass murderers aren’t overwhelmingly purchasing their weapons through private sales, and all signs point to the fact that this man shouldn’t have had a gun anyway. In fact, he tried to get a gun license in the state but was DENIED.

Unlike you, I’ve actually purchased an AR15 in Texas. And a background check was conducted. https://t.co/yl79nV2i1q

I have actually purchased an AR-style rifle here in the State of Texas.

And this is a bald-faced lie. https://t.co/iQ1pNhHKWg

Back ground checks are run for everyone and every gun here in Texas. It’s important to get factually information.

By all means, let’s have pop stars and actors weigh in on govt. policy. You’re sure to get 1000% accurate info like this!

in Texas, firearms dealers must initiate the background check required by federal law by contacting the FBI directly

— Nicholas Irving (@irving_nicholas) November 6, 2017

Fed. law does not require dealers to conduct a background check if a firearm purchaser presents a state permit to purchase firearms

— Nicholas Irving (@irving_nicholas) November 6, 2017

Which in order to have you must pass a background check

Boom☝️

Shannon Watts chimed in, because as you all know, she’s a gun ~expert~.

You guys are really dense. You can buy an AR15 at a gun show without a background check in Texas – no questions asked.

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) November 6, 2017

At 7% body fat, I guess the word “dense” in reference to myself would be applicable, nonetheless, its the same in 31+ states. Not only TX.

— Nicholas Irving (@irving_nicholas) November 6, 2017

No, she can’t

— The🐰Foo (@PolitiBunny) November 6, 2017

Alyssa copied that tweet word for word. She doesn’t have a clue. Texas does have Federal background checks.

You throw out false statements and rile everyone up…How about you use whatever celebrity you have left to do some GOOD

So, neither of you know what you’re talking about.

Here comes Shannon again!

That means he’s prohibited purchaser, but there’s absolutely no regulation of long guns (AR15s) in Texas. No background check required. https://t.co/H0oqxgEsx9

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) November 6, 2017

This is misleading. Every Fed Firearms Licensee (FFL) runs an instant federal background check, Texas law or not. So private sale or theft. https://t.co/nivzGlIdyl

— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) November 6, 2017

It’s called federal law. Background checks are required by FEDERAL LAW. A licensed firearm dealer in the state must conduct them.

You are WRONG per usual. Private sales of long guns in Texas are totally unregulated: no background check, no training, no age limit. https://t.co/yiVBt9XALb

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) November 6, 2017

NO you are wrong there certainly are restrictions. https://t.co/etH3ORa9i3 Minimum age of 18 plus other rules.

I love how Bearing Arms put this.

Again, this is federal law. Texas, much as they might like, can’t just ignore the law.

Further, even if they passed such a law, it wouldn’t matter. The BATFE is the agency that issues FFLs, which is the only way firearms can be shipped in from out of state. If dealers failed to perform the mandated background checks, they lose their licenses at the very least. That would mean they can’t get weapons from wholesalers and manufacturers because Texas state law wouldn’t protect the gun manufacturer in Connecticut.

Watts has to know this. If not, she’s had to be notified by people that she’s wrong.

But then again, Watts is notorious for blocking people who disagree with her. She apparently likes to live in a little bubble. She’ll keep a few conservative “names” visible to her so she can pretend she’s actually battling, but anyone else? Anyone else she’ll block in an instant. I’m sure the fact that it’ll look like she has few people criticizing her, thus looks above reproach has nothing at all to do with it.

But people buy her bull.

They sure do.

Wait. Get a load of this.

We need it to be required that anyone purchasing semi automatic weapons and caches of ammo be automatically placed on a watch list!

— Stopbeingpetty (@Stopbeingpetty2) November 6, 2017

That’s what these idiots want. Just for some perspective, that would put someone like me– a 24-year-old conservative blogger who wears fluffy cheetah print robes and chills with her bulldogs– on a “watch list.”

Insanity.

I’m giving Bearing Arms the final word here:

Folks, let’s be clear here. Just because Shannon Watts says there are no background checks in Texas simply doesn’t make it so. At worst, Texas doesn’t require background checks on private sales, but as noted before, that only makes up a small number of sales throughout the nation. In fact, it appears the shooter did, indeed, get a background check when he purchased his rifle, as a matter of fact, which indicates it’s not a breakdown in the law but a breakdown in communication. Not that Watts cares about that.

She doesn’t care about being right, she only cares about being believed, and so she makes sure she surrounds herself with people who will believe her, like Alyssa Milano. She doesn’t get that she does more harm to her cause than she helps it.
