Actress and well-known leftist activist Alyssa Milano urged the public to stop buying firearms to protect themselves during the uncertain times caused by the pandemic after she has admitted that she owns guns. She sent the message to the public through a video that she posted on her Twitter account. This message accompanied the video, “Americans bought over 2 million firearms in March of 2020, over a million more than this time last year. We have to keep each other safe by social distancing and washing our hands and not bringing dangerous firearms into our homes.”

Last year Milano admitted that she owns, not one, but two guns which she keeps at home for self-defense. Yet, she is urging Americans not to go out and purchase guns that can protect themselves during these uncertain times. On top of the instability that the pandemic is causing, Democratic politicians all over the country are doing their best to free criminals from prisons.

Milano’s message was prompted by the reported surge in the sales of firearms across the country. The gun sales have gone up that the federal and state background checks have reportedly been overwhelmed by the sheer number of buyers. Last month, numbers reported by the National Shooting Sports Foundation showed that gun sales were up by more than 300% from the same period last year. The increase in gun sales can be attributed to the fear of social breakdown, which can be triggered if the pandemic gets worse. People cannot be blamed if they go out and arm themselves, which is part of their constitutional rights.

The message from Milano comes across as hypocritical, just like her stance on sexual harassment. She has been conspicuously silent over the accusation of sexual assault that has been brought against former vice president Joe Biden. This comes after she demanded that we #BelieveWomen when Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual harassment by Blasey Ford, whose story was contradicted even by her own witnesses. Now Milano is saying that there should be an investigation first. Her behavior is typical of many leftists today in which she wants others to follow a certain behavior which will not be applicable to herself.
