Yesterday, we Parkland students made history. And we're not going anywhere

 

We have been working relentlessly to make sure our voiced get heard for the benefit of the men, women and children that we hope to save when our hard work comes to fruition in the halls of Congress

....One of the things I have gotten from our adventure in this journey is your driven desire to post anything negative about the United States...It became apparent years ago of the animosity you show in the magnitude of articles you fined interesting...You musical choices are quite remarkable...but your vendetta toward Americains is obvious in your topics as well as your responses...You're probably an alright standup kind of guy...Not to worry though...we all have our hangups...Some folks just like to hang their laundry out on the line for all to see and let it blow anyway the wind decides.........

'We share the stage': white suburban liberals and minority activists fight together for gun reform

 

For decades minority communities have pushed for regulation of the gun industry but white liberal allies have rarely shown up to fight with them. The Parkland students have made a concerted effort to close the ‘empathy gap’

Why is the NRA so powerful? – video

 

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is famous for its influence on American politics. Under its executive vice-president, Wayne LaPierre, the group has resisted changes to gun legislation for more than four decades, despite multiple mass shootings. Here's how the group keeps the status quo

.....There's tad-bit more to it than that....One must have knowledge of the history in using children as tools in reference to the communist playbook that has been repeatedly used in China, Germany, Europe....etc. as the first attempt to control personal firearms...Articles as this that fail to mention the dismal results of every and any attempt to control the ability of a 'responsible person's" right to own personal protection of their choice...The problem with the entire situation is...people want to take away weapons because their mental concept of reality in a world where everyone agrees, has no issues and want to form a circle holding hands singing 'Cubiya' will never happen...The last time the youth protested in this manner was over Vietnam....this had nothing to do with the guns....The draft and Cambodia killing fields had a lot of people upset on the people choose.........but then again...as always...history will repeat itself...As long as people have problems identifying and taking control of the people in society that lack the ability to control their acts....The degraded mentally challenged will continue to blame an inanimate object....rather than a disturbed individual than was allowed to roam free....Maybe we ought to have all dogs teeth removed because in some rare instances a rabbit dawg bit someone...Don't kill the rabbit dog because that would be cruel...Just remove every tooth from every dog and the world wouldn't have to worry about dog bits forever....How stupid does that sound...

I agree 100%  As if Italy is some sort of a paradise.....far from it!

 Seeing as it's guns that are behind all the chaos in the world today, I had a little come to Jesus meeting with my guns to get their input. To a gun they said sooner or later they may have to go underground, disguise themselves, & change their names. They feel they are the brunt of the anger that the uniformed, intellectually inept, weak left & MSM have put forth. They said Caz1104 explain to us how we "guns" can purchase ourselves & load ourselves with ammunition, & then fire ourselves?  I told them when dealing with those that oppose u...it doesn't matter that u are NOT the problem. It's sad that "guns" are the ones with common sense . We all then kicked back....and had a beer.

That's the communist, socialist, progressives and for those who do not know they are one, no matter how you call them it is their agenda to control.  Obama was raised a communist and he'll go down a dirt bag communist.  

This is their sick evil mentality, their sick evil agenda, to control the youth... yes be very afraid parents.  Yes Obama speaks the truth, along with all his followers.

Hmmm... whish there was a march to "End people violence". Seems that it would be all encompassing and going after the cause.  Misguided and under-informed people are trying to set policy based on emotional flares.  Our first step in solving problems is open discussion where the first premise is to admit that our own opinion could be flawed whereby we are open to all the facts to reach a suitable end for the greatest common good. It's communication 101 which is no longer taught.  So stop marching and start talking/fixing.  Just say'n

....The natural progression in nature is survival of the fittest...The Obama core, Killary Klan and the Bernie Bunch are the probable target followers (obama cult) they're in search of...With all the information available to see the "bid-picture" with all three of the deception cult leaders bad mouthing their sheeple...one has to question the mental stability behind a motive to set trust and loyalty to people that can be proven to be irreparable at best...There's been enough of the dumbing down of the youth in our nation...that we're working on losing the second generation of control over our youth to big-brother...

What a sicko.... Hating these people for exercising their first amendment right to assemble, and then trying to start a war by altering the photo of a target into the constitution... I hope they track the IP address of that loser and use them as an example.... Man, some people really are out of their minds.

I'm sure it will be called fake, and some here will go directly to conspiracy and say George Soros did it... It was probably Alex Jones, so he would have something to talk about on his "news" show.... LOL

WOWZERS!!!

 

The Snowflake and Buttercup Idiot Brigade is out in force and all up in arms AGAIN today to destroy Rule Of Law based on the Constitution Of The United States Of America TO INCLUDE The Ratified Bill Of Rights!!!

 

LIE, DEFLECT, DENY, AND BLAME ON OTHERS IN YOUR FACE tactics based on emotion from a distorted and hypothetical utopia that did not and was not intended to exist in the first place to circumvent the real issue here which is additional gun restrictions or banning any variety of guns would not have avoided this crisis.

 

Reason and logic matters NOT to the Snowflake and Buttercup Idiot Brigades only their emotions are responded to with absolute and immediate adherence. Social discourse is openly ridiculed to advance the destructive emotional objective of any and all at any person's demand. Any questions based on reason and logic are denounced and met with vulgar confrontation to avoid acknowledgement of irrational personally destructive idiotologies and behaviors.

 

Democracy is a government where you can say what you think even if you don't think. Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge where there is no river.

If you feed the people just with revolutionary slogans they will listen today, they will listen tomorrow, they will listen the day after tomorrow, but on the fourth day they will say, "To hell with you."

The Snowflake and Buttercup Idiot Brigade posters will have a heyday with this avoiding the real issues since they are such Good Communists without any shame, reason, or wits about them. They do NOT even care to acknowledge people will confront them on their baselessness at some point ("the fourth day").

Are YOU posting shameless rhetoric? Then YOU are a shamelessly proud Snowflake and Buttercup Idiot Brigade poster.
