Some students are planning a "walk out", one March 14th, and on April 20th lol. Cuz it's the anniversary of Columbine. I guess the goal is to walk out for 17 minutes to represent the 17 victims.
Their goals/demands are: "Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public health crisis of gun violence."
Umm yeah well, good luck with that.

Liberals lash out at father who lost daughter in Florida school shooting — see the vile reason whyPicture of a dad showing a photo of his daughter to someone, she died. This is before he knew she had been killed in the shooting. He committed the crime of wearing a Trump shirt though.
How do the weaselish pieces of dog shit respond?
[b]"With vile comments.
“I have zero sympathy. Notice the tee shirt he’s wearing. He helped murder his own daughter,” one person said.
“‘She’s gone’ the man says as he proudly wears a Trump 20/20 shirt wow,” one person wrote.
“…….f**k it imma say it, THE IRONY. How bout them Trump policies,” another person added.
“his shirt. then the photo of his daughter. life is a full circle, your beliefs affect everyone,” another person said.
“I am sorry he lost his daughter however he voted for Trump and is suffering the consequences of his actions now,” another person said.
“The shirt I’m sorry I have to laugh,” one person said."
Yeah. Sickening. So much for tolerance. [/B]
Bash and Adam know doubt did the same.

It boggles the mind. The left loves to hammer Trump for every inaccuracy, yet...nothing here.
Nothing about the "18 school shootings in 6 weeks" claims by the media being corrected still.
Then suddenly facts do not matter.

Who said 18 shootings in 6 weeks?
Lol oh just: MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, Time, MSN, the BBC, the New York Daily News and HuffPost, among others. All said this was the 18th school shooting this year.
And yes, the place they were citing for it was counting things like a man committing suicide this year in an area that USED to be a school, as a school shooting. As well as counting accidental discharges as school shootings.
The real number is 8(Counting Florida). Which is still bad, but it's not 18, and it's worth noting that the number of fatalities from all previous 7 shootings combined do not surpass the number of deaths we saw in Florida.

Has the usual suspects here (B,A,R,N) bothered to dispute this faulty reporting?
They can't dispute it because they know there is nothing to dispute lol. So what they did is pull the usual: sarcastic responses along the lines of "oh, only 8 school shootings then? Nothing to see here!! No big deal".
Admittedly their reactions to it was entertaining.
8 shootings is 8 shooting too much. I would rather they’re be no shooting. My little brother starts high school in 2 years, and I am genuinely scare for his life.
What we need are not celebraties or politicians with armed body guards standing on some moral high ground judging us just so people can like them. But instead, we need people with open mind to sit down and try to tackle this.
It’s not the gun that kills people, it’s the people behind the guns. Yes, guns makes it easier. But strict guns laws won’t stop the evil people from getting them.
We as a society needs to see our problem. We need to admit that right now, society has no morals. Or the morals have been shot out way too far. Hollywood and social media are 2 of the problem our society faces now.
Both sides, or however many sides there are. Needs to sit down, remove politics and easily hurt feelings out of the equations and come up with something.
So come up with something but just not anything that involves regulating guns. Lol gotcha.
The kid has a history with the police, clear mental health issues and wasn't even at the legal drinking age, yet still was able to pass a background check and legally purchase an assault weapon. I can think of a number of roadblocks that could be put in place that would have caused him to fail which, at the very least, would have made this crime a lot harder to commit.

Really tell me what new guns laws that could have prevented that from happening?
We already have guns laws, plenty of them, there just not be use because it doesn’t serve those in powers to enforce.
So instead of creating new ones that won’t benenforce, why don’t we enforce the ones we already have on the books.

So does this mean the government will finally:
1. Give us comprehensive universal healthcare (that includes mental healthcare)
2. Scale back our military industrial complex and funnel that money into:
2.a. Domestic infrastructure
2.b. #1.
3. End the war on drugs and funnel that money into #1, 2.a., and 2.b.
4. Overhaul the tax system to:
4.a. Capture potentially lost tax revenue from corruption and loopholes.
4.b. Simplify the tax code to reduce the cost of doing business in the US.
4.c. Automate taxes.
5. Invest much more heavily into science-based initiatives and programs.
If so, yeah, great! Let's protest and show defiance to our Government for not doing things correctly the way our First Amendment intended. Let's hope our protests and petitions result in meaningful progress.
That'd be great.
Notice how my 5-point list doesn't list anything, at all, directly related to guns? Because it's more stupid bullshit red-herrings that do not address why America is more violent than some countries.

Could you please post more like this and do far less short-sentence-trolling? When you directly engage, it's great.

Increase the legal age of possession. Or institute mandatory parental consent.
Extend the vetting process to a least a few months.
Include training and exams for proper handling, safety management etc.
Eliminate gun shows where you can pick up weapons and ammunition without due process, or dramatically increase their regulation.
In short, treat a gun like it actually is. An extremely dangerous, deadly weapon, that in the wrong hands, could end it total catastrophe and serious loss of life. The by-product of that being gun regulation that is taken seriously, and enforced properly.

This still does not address the private gun sale issue. We can't really stop private drug sales. If you have vicodin and you want to sell it to me, you can. No one will know. The sale happens. You commit a felony, I commit a crime that lands me jail time.
But we aren't in trouble if we don't get caught.
This applies to guns, as well.
How do we address the 99% of gun homicides that are not included in these mass-shootings?
