Gun Control Groups Silent After Candidate’s Violent Threats

The gun control lobby has spent decades preaching about “ending gun violence.” But when one of their own openly fantasizes about murdering a political opponent—and his children—the silence is deafening.

Recent revelations from text messages sent by Jay Jones, the Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General, have shaken even the most cynical observers in Richmond. Jones, then a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, sent grotesque messages wishing death upon his political rival, Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert, and his children.

“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” Jones texted to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner in 2022.

When confronted, Jones doubled down—stating that he “wished” the Speaker’s children would be shot and “die in their mother’s arms.”

These are not the words of a random internet troll. They came from a Democratic candidate for the Commonwealth’s top law enforcement position—and someone funded heavily by the nation’s leading gun control organizations.

Everytown, Brady, and Giffords: Cash and Complicity

It’s not surprising that Jones was backed by the same groups that constantly push for “commonsense gun safety.”

Everytown for Gun Safety, the Michael Bloomberg-funded political juggernaut, dropped $200,000 into his campaign. They called him a “gun sense candidate” and an “advocate for safer communities.”

Since Jones’ violent texts came to light, Everytown’s leadership—including John Feinblatt, a prolific social media user—has said nothing. Not a tweet. Not a statement. Not even a quiet retraction.

Brady PAC, meanwhile, quietly deleted its press release endorsing Jones, scrubbed his name from its website, and offered the weakest possible condemnation:

“Violent rhetoric has no place in our political process.”

No mention of Jones. No withdrawal of support. Just damage control.

Giffords PAC, founded by former Rep. Gabby Giffords, still has its endorsement of Jones live on its website—yes, the same organization born from a tragedy involving political gun violence.

Moms Demand Silence

The hypocrisy doesn’t end there.

Shannon Watts, the former head of Moms Demand Action, built her career scolding politicians for not doing enough to stop “gun violence.” Yet when one of her allies fantasizes about committing it, she’s largely quiet—reposting a single news link and moving on to her usual political commentary.

Meanwhile, Po Murray of the Newtown Action Alliance—another group that never misses a chance to tweet about “ending gun violence”—has been equally silent, preferring to post about healthcare instead.

Democratic Leaders Shrug

Even more stunning is the response—or lack thereof—from Virginia’s top Democrats.

Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine both called Jones’ comments “appalling” and “indefensible”… and then immediately added that they still support him.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, backed by the same gun control organizations now dodging accountability, also stopped short of condemnation.

“I made clear to Jay that he must fully take responsibility for his words,” she said. “As a candidate—and as the next governor—I will always condemn violent language in our politics.”

Translation: Please don’t cut my Everytown funding.

The Selective Outrage of “Gun Safety” Activists

Just one month ago, political commentator Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a sniper for his beliefs. And now, another Democratic politician—backed by the same gun control lobby—has openly wished similar violence upon his political opponents.

Yet the same groups that claim to fight “gun violence” have nothing to say when it comes from their own side.

Their outrage isn’t about saving lives. It’s about political power—and this silence exposes it better than any op-ed ever could.
