Of course.

 

Exactly what civil rights groups, such as the NRA, have always taught.

 

 

The NRA does not oppose background checks or training. It is the largest gun safety training organization it the world. But go on about your taking points.

 

 

Stephen Miller's (the columnist) response to those 'marchers' who say enough is enough , the 2nd amendment is outdated !!

Here’s the thing. We don’t have to listen to you. There is no debate about our born rights. We don’t have to justify it. Not to you. Not to the media. Not to Democrats. No one. It’s all in writing. *You have to justify it to us.

Yep, a terrific crowd.................it costs a lot of money to get a crowd that big.

 

 

As I stated on the last page, the kids are earnest , their Handlers are not.

 

I hope they won't become too disillusioned when they realize they are just being used.

A reminder from the Washington Post: School shootings becoming LESS common... 

 

So, ask yourself, why now ?.................why no DC March after the horrible murders at Newtown, CT ? ...........Hint: President

Just like his base is being used.   

 

These “kids” spent their own dime demonstrating and not tax dollars to avoid being in the capital by flying to his golf course in FLA.  

 

 

Selling T shirts is the American way.  Make a profit when and where you can.

If this was truly about saving lives, they’d be marching for mandatory defensive driving courses. 

 

Also the quality of signage flies in the face of an “organic” march.

Paul McCartney threw his weight behind calls for gun control at the March for Our Lives in New York on Saturday, saying the issue has struck a chord with him because fellow Beatle John Lennon was killed by a gun. Speaking to CNN, McCartney conceded he wasn’t sure calls for change could end gun violence altogether, but “this is what we can do, so I'm here to do it.” “One of my best friends was killed in gun violence right around here, so it’s important to me,” he said. Lennon was famously shot and killed outside his Manhattan apartment building in 1980.

Not even REMOTELY true................Please tell me that you don't really believe this.

 

 

 

Revealing scenes from the “March for our Lives”................So much for school safety. This was about politics

JAZZ SHAW
 
Nearly all the coverage of the March for our Lives events today predictably looked like a scene straight out of central casting. That was particularly true of the coverage on CNN. Trust me. I sat through hours of it because, well… it’s Saturday and I’m the weekend editor, so that’s just how it goes. There was a decided, shall we say… “tone” to CNN’s broadcast. This was particularly true of the chyron messages which didn’t change overly much throughout the day. Here’s one which I captured straight from the television. Notice anything odd about it?

MASSIVE CROWDS RALLY COAST TO COAST TO DEMAND GUN CONTROL

Wait a minute. I thought this was a rally to end gun violence in schools? Or at least a more generic call to “action.” When did the focus of the entire thing become “gun control?” Ah, well. Nevermind, I guess. This is CNN.

They were at least revealing some of the conveniently repeated themes on display with the shirts and signs in the crowds. A more suspicious person might guess that this was all being orchestrated from somewhere. Here’s one of them which caught my eye immediately.

And then there was this. But don’t you dare suggest that their parents were helping them.:lol:

 

Wow. As I said on Twitter earlier, those kindergartners are really upping their game in mastering printers and label making.

But even if they’re focusing on political action, it’s good to encourage the young people to vote as soon as they are of age. And school safety should be an issue which is of concern to everyone across party lines. At least it’s not a promotional campaign for only one party, right? Ahem…

 

March10.jpg

 

Yes, some of those attendees look a bit long in the tooth for high school, but they were all mixed in together. And that sign has “Greed Over People” (GOP… get it? I know, it’s subtle, right?) in a circle with a strike through it. And then there were a LOT of these:

 

March30.jpg

 

Others carried signs reading, “GOP = NRA Vote Them Out.” Yes, despite the fact that a lot of these kids were barely aware of the NRA (if at all) just last semester, everyone was blaming the NRA. That’s easy to do when you don’t realize that the NRA is the biggest organization pushing gun safety out there and that nobody from the NRA has ever shot up a school. Some of the well “prepared” activists were far less subtle when it came to the organization. CNN covered one student who was handing out “contracts” for parents to sign, swearing they would never vote for candidates who refuse to “prioritize children’s safety over guns.”

 

 

And then, of course, there was David Hogg, who apparently has not been back to school since the shooting. I’m just guessing about that, but the guy is on television so much it’s difficult to imagine how he would find time to do any homework.

 

I once again had a moment to feel somewhat bad for David, wondering how he will react when he’s inevitably abandoned by the Democrats and left behind after they determine that his usefulness has come to an end and the next shiny thing comes along to catch their eye. His speech was all about voting in November, without a word about how they propose to actually make schools safer. I was going to embed that here, but it was simply too sad to watch.

They won't figure it out until the first Wednesday after the first Monday in November... when their newfound handlers 'friends' stop returning their calls, and the media no longer wants to interview them.

Is there anything in the Bill of Rights the Democratic party doesn't want to get rid of?  At this point, I'm pretty sure we could get them to argue that soldiers should be quartered in private homes as a cost-saving measure for DoD.

A 17 year old says a politician (Rubio) has literally put a price tag on children’s lives to rake money from a lobby (NRA). This is unfair on the facts and gross as an insinuation.
 
I call it demagoguery.
 
Freak out ensues.
 
 
Freak outers say: Why are you so triggered by his compelling and morally uplifting rhetoric?
 
You must be terrified by his powers of persuasion!
 
Or, you’re in the NRAs pocket.
 
Well, 1. I cannot stand the demagogic rhetoric of the NRA these days. It is grotesque.
 
But that’s irrelevant. Instead...
 
I ask you to imagine a teenager saying that [insert literally any f*cking Democratic senator] put a “price tag” on tens of millions of dead babies because they sold out to Planned Parenthood.
 
How many of these same people would bleat “OMG demagogue!”?
 
 
The inability of people (Left and Right) to understand their team’s tactics and rhetoric also suck is why this country is in such ****ty shape.
 
 
 
Amen.

Considering the trial lawyer lobby, I'd say the Seventh is pretty safe

 

But the First, Second, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Tenth aren't too popular with Progressives.  And that bit about bills of attainder probably isn't too popular either

And the Fifth.  They're never big believers in due process of law.

Signage?   That’s your rationale?

 

800 thousand alone in DC.  

 

How many others across the Nation in Boston, NYC, ATL etc?  

 

Did the Dems pay transportation for all of them? 

 

Dont be blind to the meme they will take your guns away trash. (Oh BTW Donny is or was on their side) 

 

they are asking for additional gun controls on automatic weapons.  

 

How do you know some of those whacko signs weren’t som GOP plants?

800k?  That'll be 1.2M by Tuesday.

 

When really, it was more like 500k.

I give up..............You are too far gone.

 

The separate article that I posted, and for that matter all the others, do not remotely reflect what you have tried to claim as the conservative viewpoint on this.

 

Just keep twisting everyone's replies

 

and I'll keep posting articles from reporters at the 'march'

 

 

 

 

 

 

March for Our Lives draws bigger crowd than Trump inauguration, organizers say http://hill.cm/AJbyjtZ 

 

Yeah … no. 

Not even close.

Of course, this figure seems to have originally come from Think Progress but still. :lol:

 

From CBS News:

More than 200,000 people attended the March for Our Lives demonstration in Washington D.C. on Saturday, according to Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc (DDIS). The Virginia-based firm uses a proprietary method for calculating crowd size using aerial photos

 

The peak crowd size was 202,796 people, with a margin of error of 15 percent, the firm said. The crowd reached its largest size at 1 p.m., according to the company’s estimates.

 

Gosh, that’s a lot less than the 800,000 they were claiming were in attendance in D.C.

 

 

FYI, reports are that roughly 420k people attended Trump’s inauguration … which is double the number who attended the D.C. protest.

So will the rest of them.  They're nothing if short-sighted.  When's the last time the Democrats actually thought through the ramifications of banning something they hated?

True but again the Democrats are full of lawyers, and if there is one thing lawyers are good at it's covering their own a**
