The Students are not done!

Information on K-12 and University Shootings Deaths: The number of deaths has been declining over time - Crime Prevention Research CenterCrime Prevention Research Center

If any of the Parkland crew had a clue they'd know this never was an epidemic problem, tragic yes but very infrequent.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH,

Uninformed, pre conceived, "jumping on the bandwagon"/ seeking attention & media face time PERHAPS. Bringing our youths together about something other than facebook/ snapchat/ Beyoncé & the Kardashians, that may actually lead to increased voter turnout, MAY BE considered a good thing. As long as it's peaceful & legal, NOT A RIOT IMO, just exercising their constitutional rights WE so strongly defend.

So basically they're protesting to demand that they be disarmed by the government. Is that what they want.

So for those that think this will "all blow over" perhaps rethink that. Things will be changing.

I still say NOT. Not in the next three years at least...and not with a lopsided Supreme Court. Most of these kids are not voting age yet...so their threats to vote non-acting politicians out of office...are hollow threats. And just wait until Summer break arrives, they will suddenly have much better things to do than picket on the streets. Things aren't any different than they were in post-Sandy Hook....when I might add that we had a gun hostile administration in the White House. What came out of that? IMHO these people can cry and whine all they want about protecting our precious rug rats...but in the end, they will run into the unmoveable "brick wall" of The Constitution, The Second Amendment and a 250 year old tradition of a Citizenry bearing arms.

They are marching today out here in California, LA to be specific. Are you kidding me? We are already one step away from Australia.

As rwsmith already said, do everything except fix the problem.

Just watched ABC7 local news and they showed a banner if pics of the student victims. Sure it's hard to look at. But we can't let emotion cloud our common sense.

WITH ALLIES LIKE THESE...

And where was it that Osama Bin forgottin was from, again? & the ONLY flight allowed out following the big boom in 2001 was headed? & we are gonna sell them our latest/greatest weapons.

Just turned on cnn and two school kids are being interviewed with two large Armed bodyguards behind them with ear pieces.
I guess they feel safer only if their security teams are the only ones allowed to carry weapons.
What's the word for that?
Hypocrite.....

Anyone else wondering/waiting for who will perform the 1/2 time show?

The Hogg kid will be singing.

Can somebody be self-aware without actually being self-aware?

Can one be INSTINCTIVELY aware of ones own mental and moral incapacity without actually being consciously aware of it?

All of this swill is premised on gun owners just rolling over.

NO, I REFUSE.

One has to remember where these teachers come from. During the Viet Nam war deferments were give to those students who wanted to become teachers. So the war protesters became teachers and one has to wonder why the school kids of today are so messed up. My brother who went through the school system 15 years after I did came out a raving socialist and today still is.

I think your time line is off. Anybody in college during Vietnam is retired. Teachers today are products of the eighties or later. I had my first kid at 32 years old, and with very few execptions all my kids teachers have been younger than me. Most would have graduated in the 90's. Some only graduated a few years ago.

I think your observation is valid in that, what began with the draft dodgers in college in the 60's has been reinforced and become part of college life. Seems kids go to college looking for something to protest.

I've always been appalled at how the antigunners can use the emotion of a shooting for their agenda. If we did that we'd be slammed.

You what part of history.....

It would pay to read/study the origins and outcomes of the Hitler Youth in 1930's Germany. The similarities with what is going on today is frightening.

Unfortunately this is what happens when we fail to teach history.

You know what part of history would be a great high school course. The parts of history that LEAD to problems and later wars. Rather than when it happened find out WHY it happened. Of course that is exactly what they DON'T want.

That sounds great but what exactly does it mean??

You refuse what??

When I was a teenager in school....
We respected our teachers, we didn't want to shoot up our school.

We were teenagers that thought we knew much more than we actually did,
but we didn't lack manners, or respect for our elders.
We didn't talk back or physical assault our teachers. nor were we disrespectful in public or at home.

I was at a hamburger joint the other day, a group of high school age young folks came in.
They were loud, obnoxious, just being kids now in days...throwing food, using language that would make a sailor blush.

I was ashamed for them.....Do other children act like this?

Now children want to tell us (the country) how to behave?
Do children now in days tell their parents and elders what to do and run the show?

A sad state of affairs we are in....

I just donated to the NRA in their honor. If you haven't yet what are you waiting for?

The Students are not done!

Big deal. I'm done with them.

 

[Ozark Marine]

Oprah donated half a million dollars to the "student movement".
George "the loon" Clooney too.
I'm sure many more hollyweird gun grabbers gave as much or more.
Soros, we all know he's the puppet master. And chief financial backer.
This is what we are up against.

The fact that my SMALL alma mater (app 800 students) was ranked by playboy magazine 1972-73 as # 3 in the NATION for partying, behind USF Gainesville & UCLA, was not lost on me.
IF graded on that, I'd of graduated Magna Cum Laude.
