Republicans seem to mock gun violence victims by wearing pearls as they testify
A group of male Republican lawmakers in New Hampshire have come under criticism for a stunt that gun control advocates say was demeaning to victims of gun violence: donning pearl necklaces to apparently mock those testifying in front of them.
In a hearing in the New Hampshire house of representatives on Tuesday for a bill that would make it easier to restrict access to guns for people who pose an immediate threat to themselves or others, a number of Republican male legislators turned up wearing pearls.
These are grown men mocking the victims of gun crime. Speechless.
Fucking Republicans have no shame. My God.
So now people describing the horrific effects of gun violence on their loved ones are just "clutching their pearls" ?
You fuckers have lost all sense of morality and dignity

Here is a more in depth look at the pearl necklaces for the people that actually started the fad.
How the Meaning of a String of Pearls Upstaged a Gun Control Debate
FTA:
Kimberly Morin, the president of a gun rights group that also attended the hearing, told The New Hampshire Union Leader that her group had distributed the pearls. The hearing was over a proposed “red flag” bill, which would allow courts to temporarily take away guns from people found to be an immediate risk to themselves or others.
In an interview on Wednesday, Ms. Morin said the pearls were not meant to mock anyone, but had for years been a symbol for her group, the Women’s Defense League of New Hampshire, which offers firearms training to women as well as advocating gun rights.
Fucking Republicans have no shame. My God.

No they aren't. They make too much money off of them.Republicans on the USMB are scratching their collective heads and wondering aloud to no one in particular: Hmmm, I wonder why they are whining? More people die each day in car accidents. Are they going to outlaw cars?
Ya know what else it doesn't fit? THEM. They were there opposing these people. Claiming they were trying to "honor" them?Fucking Republicans have no shame. My God.

If that is what it really meant, yes, however it has been used for,
but had for years been a symbol for her group, the Women’s Defense League of New Hampshire, which offers firearms training to women as well as advocating gun rights.
I know that doesn't fit your purpose but don't let the truth get in the way of your divisive lies.
I'm saying you are a trolling liar.No they aren't. They make too much money off of them.Republicans on the USMB are scratching their collective heads and wondering aloud to no one in particular: Hmmm, I wonder why they are whining? More people die each day in car accidents. Are they going to outlaw cars?
Are you saying that were it not for the profit, our society could exist without cars/trucks/whatever?
But gun rights proponents in the Granite State say the meaning behind the pearls was misconstrued, as the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.
Kimberly Morin, president of the Women’s Defense League of NH, a women’s gun rights group, said wearing pearls has been a tactic of theirs since 2016.
Welch, one of the Republicans wearing pearls, said they were handed out by the Women’s Defense League to lawmakers and members of the public alike
We do this all the time is not a defense....
