I’ve never heard of Tamara Holder but apparently she used to host something on Fox called “Sports Court.” Now, according to her Twitter bio, she’s a pardon and worker’s rights attorney.
She also looks at young disabled people in wheelchairs and assumes they are there because they got shot.
Why do we all have to suffer because a minority group of white men have to have their guns? Just saw a college kid in a wheelchair at Dave Matthews, the engine struggling through the sand. I wondered if he was a shooting victim. That’s the reality of our society.

This tweet might be one of the strangest things I’ve read recently. I’m not sure about you, but if I see someone in a wheelchair, my first thought isn’t “oh, they’re a victim of gun violence.” Truthfully, I don’t even wonder how they got there in the first place or if it’s permanent or temporary.
Holder does, though, and she also makes the assumption that only white men have to have guns. Like most feminists today, she turns to gender and race to try to make her anti-Second Amendment arguments.
But if Holder would do some research, she might find that female gun ownership is on the rise and has been for several years as more and more women are choosing to carry a firearm for personal protection. Even more interesting statistics show that gun ownership among black women has also been on the rise.
So she might want to check her anti-white male feminism at the door, even if she claims she’s not against guns.
Why don’t some people understand that this isn’t about the right to bear arms? This is about what one man’s gun can do to an entire community. Don’t you get it? The collateral damage is mind blowing. Go on now, go back to clinging to your arsenals.

As you can imagine, people with disabilities as well as gun owners, were not happy about her assumptions.
So this is how privileged white women explain the disabled. I’m sure in your perfect world, no one ever gets injured at work, or in service to their country, or is so déclassé as to be one of those people born with physical ailments. It must be frightening to see real people !

Yes please..I am disabled because a POS Shoplifter shoved my head into the concrete in 2002. He went to prison, 6 years and multiple spine surgeries later, I became permanently disabled. Not in a wheelchair, but close. Bad things happen to good people all the time. Stop ASSuming.

"A minority group of white men"? Why are you making it racial & gender-biased? White men are NOT the only ones who legally own guns. And people are in wheelchairs for all kinds of reasons. If you automatically wondered "shooting victim?", then you're the problem with society. 🙄

Don't you get it? The right to have guns allows you to protect yourself from the guy that can take out a whole community. If you take the guns from the good guys…only bad guys will have them. More than 90% of guns used in crimes are not purchased legally.

Holder stuck to her guns though, claiming she’s not delusional for her line of thinking.
Right. I’m delusional for thinking that a guy in a wheelchair, his late teens, and backstage at Dave Matthews, who is surrounded with his friends, may be a shooting victim. Ok.
