MOMS DEMAND ACTION WITNESS CAUGHT MISLEADING TEXAS STATE SENATORS DURING TESTIMONY

.

A woman testifying for Moms Demand Action has been called on the carpet for misleading the Texas Senate for implying by omission that the tragic killing of her husband by her son resulted from the use of a firearm.

In reality, her son killed his father with a pipe wrench and a knife.

The fact that her son owned what she called “an arsenal” had no bearing on the murder.

Leslie Ervin testified before the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee that day. She was wearing a Moms Demand Action t-shirt at the time.

Her entire testimony can be seen on the official Texas Senate video. Her testimony begins at about the 33 minute mark in the video.

Ervin told the Senators who sit on the Committee that her paranoid schizophrenic son Lex had attempted to purchase guns from a local gun store on his 18th birthday. She said she was happy when McBride’s Gun Shop in Austin called her and told her that her son appeared unstable and they would not sell him any guns. She said she was happy because she “thought this was the way the system worked.”

She said she then called the Austin Police Department (APD), which told her that her son has a right to buy firearms.

Ervin then told the Senate State Affairs Committee that her son went to Big Box Stores and bought “an arsenal of guns.”

She called the store, but said “there was nothing I could do to stop them.”

She testified that the store told her it was her son’s right to purchase firearms, and without a court order she could do nothing to prevent it.

After delivering this testimony, Ervin immediately told the Senate Committee that on September 18, 2013, her son killed her husband.

She did not inform the committee that her son killed her husband with a metal pipe wrench and a knife.

The reasonable and natural inference from her story was that her son murdered her husband with a firearm.

Ervin never clarified that her husband was killed by other means

She even went on to re-emphasize her misrepresentation by saying “… if they were not there to subdue him, before my husband died, who knows what would he would have done with that arsenal of guns.

I want gun access to be stopped.

And, I think there needs to be changes made so that a lot of innocent lives can be saved.”

In his video, Grisham states, “Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in American have absolutely no shame.”

He charges that Ervin “used the tragic death of her husband at the hands of her mentally unstable son in an effort to sway the committee not to pass gun rights legislation.”

“It is appalling that a Bloomberg-funded gun control organization would condone its members fabricating details related to a true tragedy in order to further a political agenda,” the Open Carry Texas founder told Breitbart Texas.

“We welcome the debate on gun rights versus control, but it would be beneficial to either side that such discussion be based on facts and not emotional fiction.”

Some of these people need to seek out professional mental help. There is no other reason someone would go to this length and distort facts to promote a cause.

So she's a lying sack of shit, but at least she could speak on her own. A number of the moms testified by reading verbatim from the same script, over and over again. So they had a liar and a bunch of brainless lemmings.

We can infer that we now know from which parent the kid got his crazy gene.

Really, it's true. It's genetic. She caused this. She spits on the husbands grave. She lobbies to restrict fundamental basic human rights. She did nothing effective to help her son or save her husband. In my world that makes her a total P.O.S. She should be fighting perjury charges for lying to a state senate.

It was her duty and responsibility as a parent and an adult to get her son medical treatment BEFORE he killed his father. SHE was that failed link, and the entire tragedy can be laid directly at her feet. How does she sleep at night knowing she could and should have done something, anything, before this? Now she get some blooomberg cash for waving her husbands bloody shirt before the texas assembly demanding more to be done to prevent gun violence when guns had no impact on the crime? She should be charged with accessory to murder for NOT getting her son some mental help.

A lot of these people that desperately grasp these causes do so to relieve themselves of responsibility. It is a kind of deranged therapy for them. Instead of looking in the mirror, and facing themselves, they try to take away the rights of others to make themselves feel better.

It needs to be exposed and stopped.

It's a tragedy whenever a family has a psychotic, delusional member who cares nothing about human life, and has lost their grip on reality.

And her son was just as bad.
