Just like so many gun control activists, Camiella Willliams (above) does not practice what she preaches. The Chicago pistol-packin' mama shocked an NPR reporter when she exposed her hypocrisy. She admitted to him how she bought a gun to protect herself and her family. At the same time, she works to keep other inner city residents firmly mired on the gun control plantation. The hypocrisy runs deep for Williams.
Nobody disputes that residents of Chicago's inner-city neighborhoods endure high levels of violent crime. With 523 homicides already this year, Chicago continues to earn its Murder City USA nickname. Meanwhile, Windy City cops have identified suspects in less than 13% of homicides this year – and that 13% includes 'gimmes' like police-related and civilian self-defense homicides.
Camiella Williams grew up seeing that violence, and recognizes how it continues today. Ironically, she admits to the NPR reporter how she bought a pistol and acquired a concealed carry license to protect herself. But she doesn't tell that to her former neighbors. Instead, she tells them how she has lost 23 loved ones to gang gun violence.
She told The Trace she bought her first gun, a loaded 9mm, at age 12 for $25. Not long after, she started dealing dope in high school. Later, she became pregnant and eventually straightened her life out. Ignoring the racist, classist and sexist history of gun control, she tells her life story as the foundation for her "guns are bad" shtick. She works day in and day out to promote gun control. Not for her though. She promotes gun control for the little people.
Camiella does not see herself as "the little people" any longer. She enjoys the proven benefits of firearm ownership for her own family.
Asked by NPR scribe about about the "inconsistency" of advocating for gun control measures while carrying a "weapon", she said:
The people that will probably say that live in safe communities, never experienced the losses that I've experienced.
That's right: She's special. The lives of her family count more to her than the lives of your family members or mine.
We all know that guns save innocent life. The leaders of gun control orgs know the same thing. After all, if guns don't protect innocent people, why would Shannon Watts hire armed bodyguards? At the NRA convention in Indianapolis, the Moms' communications director admitted how they hired armed security. Why? To protect the moms from, as Erika Soto Lamb described it, "people on your side of the debate". Proving once again that the only thing that stops bad people with evil in their hearts is a good guy (or gal) with a gun.
Moms Demand Action aren't the only gun control activists who preach one thing and practice another.
I've seen how Father Pfleger of St. Sabina's church in Chicago employs armed bodyguards on a regular basis – even outside of his church. Pfleger is pictured above at Chuck's Gun Shop in Riverdale, IL in 2013. He marches there regularly, advocating for gun control for the little people while bringing armed security for himself.
Pfleger, a true radical, once called for inner city residents to "snuff out" the owner of Chuck's Guns. From a partial transcript of a video shown on Hannity and Combes on FoxNews in 2007:
REV. MICHAEL PFLEGER, ST. SABINA'S CHURCH: He's the owner of Chuck’s, John Riggio, R-i-g-g-i-o. We're going to find you and snuff you out. You can't keep hiding because you're afraid.
Not surprisingly, Camiella Williams has worked with Father Pfleger. And also not surprisingly, her hypocrisy does not end with guns. She moved out of Chicago's dangerous neighborhoods almost a decade ago. Today, she lives in the safer suburbs.
One might say Camiella Williams' life stands as a giant, 'do as I say, not as I do' lesson in hypocrisy.
That's okay, Camiella. While our family members' lives are more important to us than you and yours, we will still selflessly and relentlessly advocate for your right to protect you and your family with the proven benefits of firearm ownership.
Check out the snowflakes and Big Mama doesn't skip a meal.
Baby girl, you are a little confused here. If you have a gun then you aren't an anti gun activist. You are just a liberal Democrat.
The sad thing is is that this woman doesn't understand how incredibly stupid she is. The definition of the left.
