"Country’s Largest Gun Control Group Mum on Donation to AG Candidate Who Wants To Put ‘Two Bullets’ in GOP Colleague’s Head
Everytown for Gun Safety hailed Dem AG candidate Jay Jones as an 'advocate for safer communities'
Everytown for Gun Safety, the country’s largest gun control group, has contributed $200,000 to Jay Jones’s campaign for Virginia attorney general and hailed the Democrat as an "advocate for safer communities." But now, as Jones is embroiled in scandal over text messages in which he fantasized about shooting a Republican state leader, Everytown is sitting on the sidelines.
Everytown, which donated to Jones’s campaign on Aug. 26 and named him one of its "Gun Sense Candidates," has not weighed in on revelations that Jones, a former Virginia House delegate, said in a series of text messages in 2022 that then-Virginia House speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, deserved "two bullets to the head." Jones doubled down on those remarks, which he sent to Republican house delegate Carrie Coyner, and wished death upon Gilbert’s children, according to National Review. Jones told Coyner in a subsequent message that Gilbert was "breeding little fascists."
Jones initially refused to apologize over his remarks and accused his challenger, Republican incumbent Jason Miyares, of leaking them as part of a smear campaign. Jones apologized in a subsequent statement, saying he was "embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry" for the messages."

Wow, even a gun control group funded this wannabe gun terrorist. Are they going to keep hiding from the public?
