For some reason, Alyssa Milano took it upon herself to take part in a ‘protest’ of the NRA by the ‘No NRA or NoRA’ group at this year’s NRA Convention site, and it didn’t go so hot. Between a shockingly small turnout (some shots look to show a few dozen people, others show maybe 100, half of whom were journalists) and a good deal of missteps like Alyssa bringing armed security to the event, this group protest was a serious dumpster fire.
Anti-gun Californian @Alyssa_Milano has armed security chase Texans out of a public park simply because they asked if she uses armed defense (that she wants to deny others). Wow. https://t.co/w9Mq3zJXVr

Interestingly enough, Dana offered to meet with Alyssa off camera …
At @dloesch's request I just asked @Alyssa_Milano if she'd like to come to the convention and chat with Dana privately (not on camera). They told me to talk to Alyssa's agent but that she’s not interested in talking to Dana.

But it didn’t seem like the ‘Who’s the Boss’ actress was all that hip to the idea.
She did post this dramatic selfie later in the day …

And yeah, this went about as well as bringing a bunch of armed guards to a gun protest.

D’oh.

We ALMOST started to feel sorry for her at this point but then she shared this ridiculous tweetstorm.
Every time someone talks about revisiting and revising gun laws, the messaging gets obscured, and somehow it comes out on the other end…”the liberals want to take all your guns away”.
I want to be very clear….

Yes, Liberals want to take all of our guns away. We know.
I don’t want to take your guns away. I AM NOT AGAINST THE 2nd AMENDMENT.
In fact, my husband is a law-abiding gun owner who believes in common sense gun reform. (This part is usually omitted when the other side argues against me). #NoRA

This is like saying you have some black friends to prove you’re not a racist. But whatevs.
If we focus on facts. Actual facts…not hyperbole from either side or fake “studies” that are slanted from one side, we should collectively be able to reach sensible resolution where all parties feel both protected, and safe. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Facts.
She’s adorbs.
That said, I do think as a nation grows and changes, so should It’s laws to accommodate that change. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Here we go.
AR-15’s and similar or doctored guns are not designed for hunting, not for home protection…but to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Ummm.
Hi Alyssa. Please show me the words “hunting” and “home protection” as written in the 2nd Amendment. Loved you in Commando. Thanks. https://t.co/F1J14dxrS1
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 6, 2018
Founders didn’t recognize bearing arms as an inherent right so we could hunt. THIS is why she makes us nuts, folks.
And there is an alarming pattern that the AR-15 have become the weapon of choice for mass shootings in our country. Not handguns but weapons capable of firing a lot of bullets in a short amount of time. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
The largest mass shooting ever at a school was done with a handgun.
I feel like we should be able to find a way to appease people on both sides of this issue with regards to who is able to get their hands on these types of weapons. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
There is no appeasing people who want to strip rights away from their fellow Americans.
Full stop.
Sadly, people have tuned out before we ever get to the heart of the issue. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Sadly, people are tired of getting lectured and you on the Left don’t seem to get it.
The topic gets raised and all people have been trained to hear is, ”they are gonna come take my guns”. It’s an effective strategy by the NRA that has allowed our lawmakers to make almost no changes in laws/regulations other than a few symbolic alterations here and there. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
BECAUSE THE LEFT WANTS TO TAKE OUR GUNS.
It will take time. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
It will take guts. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
It will take cooperation.
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Blow.
It will take getting to the polls and voting them out. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Voting who out? The millions of Americans who own firearms and support the Second?
Good luck with that.
But our kids are worth it. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
Which is why many of us are armed, yes.
Our citizens are worth it. #NoRA
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 5, 2018
What a load.
