At the America’s First Freedom website today is a tribute to New York Police Officer Walter Weaver, who entered the World Trade Center after it was attacked on 9/11 and never made it out. Later, Officer Weaver’s revolver was recovered:
Weaver’s family later donated the gun to the NRA National Firearms Museum. With the 14th anniversary of the September 11 attacks coming up tomorrow, Weaver’s revolver holds a place of honor today and serves as a somber reminder of the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line daily. It’s an ordinary firearm that stands as a symbol of extraordinary bravery.
Shannon Watts of the Michael Bloomberg-funded gun grabbing group Moms Demand Action spotted an opportunity and swooped:
#NRA is celebrating a gun that "survived" the 9/11 attacks today. No really: #NotTheOnion #NeverForget http://t.co/7QG9ShnHLI #gunsense

Stay classy.
Absolute ghouls. NRA honors an officer lost during 9/11 and #MomsDemand mocks it. #WhateverItTakes? https://t.co/scXaY9FQjL

Watts has also used an attack on the Dallas Police Department to criticize Texas Gov. Abbott about open carry, so this kind of shamelessness is not unexpected.
