WATCH: Parkland Dad Booted From SOTU After Heckling Trump, Second Amendment – The Daily Wire

Anti-gun rights activist and the father of a Parkland school shooting victim, Fred Guttenberg, was asked to leave President Donald Trumps annual State of the Union (SOTU) address on Tuesday night after the activist heckled the president for vowing to protect Americans Second Amendment rights.

Mr. Guttenberg shouted about gun control when Trump vowed that he would always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The father attended the SOTU address as a guest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

According to the New York Post, the speaker turned to the gallery with a stern look after the disruption and muttered something under her breath after Guttenbergs outburst.

The father, who tragically lost his 14-year-old daughter Jaime during the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, is a constant activist against gun rights.

In September, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) met with both actress/left-wing activistAlyssa Milano and Guttenberg to discuss the Second Amendment.

I am always grateful for the opportunity to engage in positive, civil discussion on the substantive issues of the day especially with those with whom I disagree. Todays meeting was productive and respectful, and I appreciate Alyssa and Freds willingness to come here with an open mind. I believe more conversations like this will go a long way in helping unite and heal our divided country, Sen. Cruz said in a statementfollowing the meeting.

We all agree we have far too many of these mass shootings, and they need to stop. It is long past time for everyone to put away the partisan talking points so we can work together to solve this problem. We need to act, he added.

Though Pelosi was seemingly displeased with Guttenbergsoutburst, the speaker offered some disobedience herself on Tuesday night. The leading Democrat refused to properly announce President Trump at the start of the evening, andripped up her copy of Trumps speech following the event.

As reported by The Daily Wire, decades of past SOTU addresses showthat is protocol for the House Speaker to announce the president by noting that it is their high privilege and distinct honor to do so:Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.

Instead, Pelosi merely announcedTrump as follows: Members of Congress, the President of the United States.

Pelosi was unapologetic about ripping up Trumps speech, too.

In a statement reported by The Washington Poston Tuesday, the speaker called the speech from the president a manifesto of mistruths.

The manifesto of mistruths presented in page after page of the address tonight should be a call to action for everyone who expects truth from the President and policies worthy of his office and the American people, a statement from Pelosi said.

Nancy Pelosi says ripping up Donald Trumps speech was was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative,'Jim Roberts reported.

Eight House Democrats (listed below) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) all skipped the presidents speech:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

Rep. AyannaPressley (D-MA)

Rep. Al Green (D-TX)

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN)

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL)

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)

Texas shooting security guard warns of attacks on Second Amendment, criticizes Bloomberg | TheHill – The Hill

The man who is credited with stopping a shooter during an attack at a church in Texas by opening fire and killing the gunman has sharply criticized a gun control policy touted by former New York City MayorMike Bloomberg.

Jack Wilson told The Dallas Morning Newsin an interview that he thinks a gun control plan pushed by Bloomberg, a 2020presidential hopeful running in the Democratic primary, would have left him helpless to respond to the shooter.

If we were operating under Bloombergs position, we wouldnt have had any guns in there, Wilson told the newspaper. The outcome would have been extremely more severe than it was.

A spokeswoman for Bloomberg's campaign responded to the claim, telling the newspaper that under Bloomberg's proposal, the shooter's criminal history would have prevented him from obtaining a firearm.

"Mr. Wilson certainly acted bravely, but the killer had a history of violence and mental health issues and under Mikes plan, he would never [have] had a gun, the spokeswoman said.

Bloomberg, who has made gun control a centralissue of his 2020 campaign, previously addressed the Texas shooting during an address in Montgomery, Ala.

"It may be true that someone in the congregation had his own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people, but its the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot," the former mayor said at the time, adding, "You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place."

Bloomberg'sremarks earned him criticism from President TrumpDonald John TrumpWarren: Dershowitz presentation 'nonsensical,' 'could not follow it' Bolton told Barr he was concerned Trump did favors for autocrats: report Dershowitz: Bolton allegations would not constitute impeachable offense MORE, who tweeted days afterward:"Now Mini Mike Bloomberg is critical of Jack Wilson, who saved perhaps hundreds of people in a Church because he was carrying a gun, and knew how to use it. Jack quickly killed the shooter, who was beginning a rampage. Mini is against the 2nd A. His ads are Fake, just like him!"

Now Mini Mike Bloomberg is critical of Jack Wilson, who saved perhaps hundreds of people in a Church because he was carrying a gun, and knew how to use it. Jack quickly killed the shooter, who was beginning a rampage. Mini is against the 2nd A. His ads are Fake, just like him!

Wiese and Zyburt give stance on becoming Second Amendment sanctuary county – UpperMichigansSource.com

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Earlier this month, a group of concerned citizens approached the Marquette County Board of Commissioners with a resolution for the county to become a Second Amendment sanctuary county.

The board said it does not have the authority to make that declaration, but that commissioners will uphold the second amendment, as they swore to uphold the Constitution when they took their positions on the board.

"We believe it to be where our local elected officials will back the people, regardless of what laws are passed in Lansing, to support us and not come and take our guns when Lansing says to come take our guns, said Chair of Marquette County for Second Amendment Sanctuary County, John Kovarik.

Following the board meeting, Kovarik reached out to the Marquette County Sheriff, Greg Zyburt, and the Marquette County Prosecutor, Matt Wiese, asking for them to declare support for becoming a sanctuary county.

Zyburt and Wiese sent out a press release Tuesday, stating that they cannot make the declaration due to their positions.

"It was rather disturbing and I'm not happy about it. I know there's a lot of gun owners out there that are not going to be happy about it, Kovarik added.

Wiese says to declare public support for a Second Amendment sanctuary county would be unlawful and against the oath he took as Marquette County's prosecutor.

"I know there's a lot of alarm out there because of what went on in Virginia last week, but we're not talking about that. We can't take a pledge to say that if they pass this law that somehow limits firearms, that we say we're not going to enforce it because by doing that, we're violating our oath of office, said Wiese.

Zyburt has taken the same stance as Wiese on the issue.

"We swore to an oath for the second, the first, the third, the fifth amendments and both the State and the Constitution, and we're going to follow it. We're not going to be bullied. This is our position, and it's a legal position, and that's why the prosecutor and I have put out this release, Zyburt said.

Kovarik adds that he and people in his group are prepared to vote out elected officials that do not support becoming a sanctuary county. Both Wiese and Zyburt add that voters have the right to do so, but that they hope people wont only consider this one issue while voting.

Kovarik says his group will continue pushing for the second amendment, and for Marquette County becoming a Second Amendment sanctuary.

If you let your rights go, then youre going to be in trouble, Kovarik said.

Tom Tiffany holds a 2nd Amendment rally in the Northwoods – WJFW-TV

ARGONNE - 7th Congressional District candidate Tom Tiffany held a second amendment rally early SundayThe event took place at Main Street Ed's Bar in Argonne.

According to Tiffany, "the purpose of the rally is to reaffirm the second amendment rights of citizens in the Northwoods."

Tiffany said the event reflects a strong movement among gun owners across the state and the entire country. He wanted to make sure his message is sent loud and clear.

"They believe they have a reason to keep the right to bear arms", said Tiffany. "Legal law-abiding gun owners should not have those rights infringed upon them."

Tiffany received an A-plus rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA).
