Why won't they pass a Fix NICs bill?

Because a better more efficient NICs system means a dip in gun sales. Every time some one can't buy a gun through a legal retailer, gun companies lose money.

The democrats are stopping fix nics because they need dead kids.....

Tim Scott: ‘Painful To Watch’ Democrats Block Fix NICS Act | Weasel Zippers

Via Daily Caller:

Sen. Tim Scott told the “Fox & Friends” crew on Monday that it’s “painful” to watch Senate Democrats delay passing legislation, like the “Fix NICS” Act, that will not only make schools safer but could have prevented mass shootings like the one in Charleston, South Carolina.

“It is time for us to act, without any question,” he stated. “We have bipartisan legislation that would ultimately fix the background system.”

The Daily Caller. Ha ha
When it gets too uncomfortable for you head directly to your far far right media.

You’re not stopping these students no matter how much you try to.

There’s an insurrection happening in this country and the bullseyes are the NRA, Trump and the GOP congress.

Oh so funny. You apparently don't understand what an insurrection is, or realize it requires guns.

Well, you know how bright them liberals are.

The kids and parents aren’t putting up with your bullshit anymore.

Cute.....again...how do you explain the truth....

You keep attacking the NRA...the NRA supports the FIX NICS act....the democrats oppose it.

You keep attacking the NRA...the NRA supports armed security and armed staff in the schools, the democrats oppose it.

The NRA teaches fun safety to millions of children...the democrats fight teaching gun safety to kids.

The NRA supports keeping violent gun offenders in prison, the democrats let violent gun offenders out of jail and pass laws letting them out early.

The NRA doesn't support the PROMISE PROGRAM, of obama, which allowed the shooter to get the gun...the democrats created and support the Promise program...which allowed the shooter to get his gun...

Since those are the facts, the truth and the reality.....

Of the two groups...the democrats are the ones supporting violent murder, not the NRA...

 

[Reasonable]

So easy even 2 a guy can understand it.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

What do you mean they won't do anything about school violence....they are the ones who actually want to put armed guards and staff in the schools and to fix the background check system so state and federal agencies will actually submit the paperwork on criminals and crazies...

It is people like you who oppose those protections for our kids.....

^^^^^^^^^^

and there comes Mr. NRA shill all cranky because the kids are making him and his NRA loons losers.

You mean I am telling the truth.....the democrats are the ones with the policies driving gun deaths, not the NRA.....

democrats also fight gun safety education for children in schools...again, because they need dead children to push their gun control laws.

The Dems want real gun control. Your jackass flip flopping president doesn’t.
The kids notice this thus the massive walkout.
You can post as many bullshit posts you want.
but you’re not stopping today and March 24.
Big trouble ahead for the enablers of the gun lobby.

The Dems want real gun control.

Obviously.

Your jackass flip flopping president doesn’t.

Indeed. He's an American.

The kids notice this thus the massive walkout.

To no effect.

Land of the free, home of the brave, yes.

Stopping what?

Big trouble ahead for the enablers of the gun lobby.

Nope.

The NRA has lost many sponsors.

And gained countless members. Sponsors can be replaced, but there's nothing like public support.

Under 21?

That's not young children. These are older teens.Young children would be elementary school age.

Those that want to ban young children of 18 -20 years old from having a legal rifle and exercise their 2nd amendment, yet they can go out with liberal propaganda and exercise their 1st amendment...

If a 19 year old with serious problems had not had that gun designed for war, 17 of them would not be dead.

Pure nonsense! That 19 year old could purchase many other semi-auto weapons that would have done the same evil.

However, what is the dumbass hangup on the number 17? Hundreds of school children are being killed by gang bangers and drug dealers every year, and that doesn't seem to bother any of you snowflakes. You need to quit dancing on the graves of dead children in an attempt to further left wing idiocy.

It’s not a dumbass hang-up. These are teens reacting to the deaths of their fellow students and teachers, 17 of them. You know that. You’re just attempting to minimize it. Nobody is dancing on the graves of dead children except the NRA. They represent the gun manufacturers. Gun sales go up every time a massacre happens. Win-win for them, death and loss for the rest of us. These kids are just fed up. Their protests are the action equivalent of “Oh FUCK if I have NOT had ENOUGH!!”

Apparently, the 7 year old who was shot by gang bangers in his own front yard, or the 17 year old shot by a driveby while walking past an elementary school don't deserve consideration by their fellow students and teachers. Consequently, the reaction is in response to the number 17, and nothing else. That makes it a dumbass hangup over numbers.

And yes, you are dancing on the graves of dead children, because the result you want has nothing to do with stopping school shootings. We can excuse the ignorance of children, but that does not excuse the adults who are promoting this event, because they should know better.

School shootings do not cause thousands of people to run out and buy semi-auto rifles. The predictable reaction by the anti-gun crowd is responsible for that.

 

[Reasonable]

“It’s all thoughts and prayers; it’s all talk,” he told ABC News. “After a gun violence tragedy there’s a speech talking about how we need change but there never is change.”

Glad to say the school my grandson goes to did not participate in the walk out.

Few schools in my area did.

Our children's school is using the "walk up" thing instead of walk out. Very well received by parents

As posted by a Facebook friend and parent;

Oh, and stop with the walkUP nonsense. Let’s not put the blame on the kids here, ok? Let’s not make our kids feel as though if they could only be nicer and more inclusive, these things wouldn’t happen.

It’s basically saying “instead of protesting school shootings, lack of gun control, etc by walking out, try being more nice and inclusive to kids”, which can very, very easily be interpreted as “maybe if people were nicer and more inclusive of others these things might not happen”

That is putting the blame on others, that is putting the burden and blame on these kids.

Good.
But you still underestimate what most kids know. This is a good cause, it’s a great lesson on their rights, they are making a statement, and we should encourage and be proud of that.

How about, instead of taking the focus off of an event meant to make a statement by coming up with some BS “alternative”, we encourage our kids to be nice EVERY day?

Come on. Let them have this day to make their voices heard, for fucks sake, instead of trying to silence them.

This walkUP thing is an attempt to silence our children’s voices and putting the blame elsewhere.

I have seven children so take your "I underestimate children" and stick it up your glory hole. Furthermore just from reading your drivel it's obvious you're just another left loon spewing the same worn out talking points.

Use original thought and you'll likely be taken more serious ...and stop pawning children, it's pathetic

And what gun control is that, oh genius? Which gun control law do they support that would have stopped the shooting in Florida?

I will wait here without holding my breath, I don't want to die from lack of oxygen....

YOU and your attitude is the problem. America supports STRICTER gun control and getting military style assault weapons off the streets.
Disagree?
Just look at all the empty schools today and the March on Washington on the 24th.

Damn straight, the "kids" should always get what they want. Nobody gives a shit about them "walking" out of anything. I'm betting you were one of those "time out" kids who was never actually disciplined.

Watch: Students Put Pencils Down, Walk Out in Gun Protests

Thousands of students across the D.C. area staged walkouts Wednesday to protest gun violence, one month after the deadly shooting inside a high school in Parkland, Florida.

Police cruisers escorted hundreds of students from Montgomery Blair High School as they marched through Silver Spring, Maryland, carrying signs that said "Protect Children, Not Guns" and "Our Blood, Your Hands."

The walkout is one of the first of many in the region.

The first large-scale, coordinated national demonstration is planned for 10 a.m. Wednesday, when organizers of the Women's March called for a 17-minute walkout -- with one minute for each of the 17 students and staff members killed in Florida. Many organizers and participants are using the #enough hashtag.

Thousands of Students Are Walking Out of School in Nationwide Protests. Here’s Why

The 1969 Supreme Court ruling on the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District makes it clear that students don’t “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” But that does come with some caveats and complications.

• First, it only applies to public schools. “This is because public schools are run by the government and private schools aren’t, and the First Amendment only controls what the government can and can’t do,” the ACLU explains on its “Know Your Rights” page. Students at private schools can be stopped from participating in protests like the #Enough National School walkout, and students should consult with their teachers and school administrators and know what the policies are regarding protests or absences.
• Second, free speech in schools extends “as long as you don’t disrupt the functioning of the school or violate the school’s content-neutral policies,” the ACLU explains, and what is “disruptive” is contextual. If deemed disruptive, “schools can stop students from participating,” according to CNN.
• Third, you can be punished for participating — not over what you are protesting, but for being absent from class. “The exact punishment you could face will vary by your state, school district, and school,” the ACLU explains. “Find out more by reading the policies of your school and school district. If you’re planning to miss a class or two, look at the policy for unexcused absences.” If planned ahead with parents, students may be able to be signed out of a class by a parent.
• Finally, schools are mandated to be guardians to their students. “Schools stand in what’s known as loco parentis, so we don’t simply release our students into the ether,” Francisco Negron, the Chief Legal Officer at the National School Boards Association, told NPR. Negron issued guidance to schools ahead of the walkouts. “Chief among our recommendations is that to the extent possible, school districts should plan ahead and engage your students, parents, and stakeholders,” the checklist reads. Teachers also have a complex position when it comes to protesting; they can often protest on their own time, but not during class time, according to CNN.

Next nationwide protest is March 24th, and I will be attending that one.

Activists Lay Thousands of Shoes Outside U.S. Capitol

Activists placed thousands of pairs of shoes on the lawn outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Tuesday to memorialize children killed by gun violence.

The demonstration was planned by international advocacy group Avaaz to represent the number of children killed by guns since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, CBS News reports.

The demonstration was based on research by the American Academy of Pediatrics that found that 1,300 children die from gun shot wounds in the U.S. annually, or about three daily. Thus the display featured 7,000 pairs of shoes.

The protestors assembled the empty shoes on the southeast lawn from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in an effort to push Congress for gun reform.

I'm curious, would educators also coordinate a nation wide protest by children on abortion?

How about the insane amount of spending the government does as the government spends their future away?

And how about a protest about the 50,000 Americans per year who are killed by heroin that's being brought in by the Mexican Drug Cartels.
BTW the Dems are fighting for open borders and Obama sold guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels.

No, no, that is a good way to die even though drug deaths far outnumber drug deaths and even though the drug culture promotes the most gun violence in society.

Those kids did not do drugs. They were in School learning to be good citizens!

Do not compare!

Don't compare what?

Why is it that far more people are killed by illicit drug overdose in the US than gun violence, yet the youth only protest gun violence?

The youth have obviously been agitated and organized and brain washed by public school officials and the media all over the country to be their tool for their pet political issues. If these kids were educated properly as to what kills them the most, illicit drugs, and what contributes the most to gun violence, which is illicit drugs, the perhaps they would seek to do things like protesting a border that is not secure so that gangs and drugs can't come across.

Either that or we can put Obama back in office so he can arm Mexican drug dealers again.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Your post reminded me of liberal hypocrisy at its worst...

There are guns and there are weapons. Besides, are you defending the rights of insane crazies to own assault weapons? Why?

LMAO what's the difference between a gun and weapon? This should be hilariously stupid

It makes a point.
When I was in the service, we use to say:
This is my weapon
This is my gun
This one's for killing
This one's for fun.

Handguns are for fun.
Assault weapons are for killing. That's all they are good for.

Jesus.... 1st off, that is from Full Metal Jacket and the weapon is their rifle, the gun is their cock. You are one full-of-shit MF. And stop lying about being in the service.

I heard the same in basic, which predated the movie by eleven years.

Well that may very well be, but I guarantee Deanie Weanie never heard it in Boot. And again, they are not inferring that a soldier has a weapon and a gun. That's just stupid.
