NH Republican Lawmakers Mock Moms Against Gun Violence by Wearing Pearls

Condemned as sexist and insensitive, male Republican lawmakers in New Hampshire wore pearl necklaces while female gun control activists shared their own experiences with gun violence at a recent hearing.

Many of the gun control activists were members of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

From Kamala Harris: "Too many guns are falling into the hands of dangerous people, threatening kids' lives and making our communities less safe. These moms are fighting to confront gun violence and protect our children. They don't deserve to be mocked. We stand with you."

These male legislators see themselves so on top of our nation's hierarchies, that their behavior is fine with them. They expect no accountability for how their actions or policies affect other people, and they expect to be able to treat people they push lower on their hierarchies any way they want.
