Can The Students Be Silenced?

[Darkwind]

.

Since the student survivors of the mass murder at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School began their drive to ban the sale of semi-automatic, assault type rifles, the tremendous response from other students nationwide has turned their cause into a strong, grass roots movement.

Conservatives and their leaders are deeply concerned over the possible results this overwhelming number of kids could have. Conservatives, gun nuts, and Republican politicians are appalled by these kids demanding their safety be a priority over the gun nuts’ lunatic desire to own the phallic symbol that is their favorite to stroke and kiss.

Due to this uncontrollable fear conservatives have at the thought of losing their penile substitute, Mitch McConnell decided to ignore the growing number of young voters in this movement. With the coming mid-term elections, these many, many, many students now have the potential to join with tens-of-millions of progressive voters and put the Democrats in control of congress.

In addition to Mitch, conservative community leaders, conservatives on school boards and school administrators have done all they can to stifle the students’ enthusiasm. And now, the National Parks Service is doing so.

A “March For Our Lives” rally was planned by the Stoneman Douglas survivors to take place on the Mall in D.C., but organizers were refused a permit by the National Parks Service management. A representative for the Park Service cited a conflict with a “talent show” as the reason.

The co-executive producer of “Dancing With the Stars” Deena Katz was brought in by the Stoneman Douglas survivors to plan the major event and has a nearly $2 million budget. The money is was raised with a “GoFundMe page, along with donations from Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and George and Amal Clooney.”

The “talent show” permit application listed equipment for the film crew’s use for the Mall as two tables, two bikes and jump ropes.

The list on the permit application for the March For Our Lives rally included 14 Jumbotrons, 2,000 chairs and 2,000 portable restrooms to be funded with part of the $2 million.

This equipment will be used by the “student speakers, musical performers, guest speakers and video tributes,” and up to an estimated 500,000 attendees, according to the permit application.

The D.C. location for March For Our Lives rally is just one of many big and small events planned in cities across the nation on the same day.

For the conservatives, the gun nuts, and Republican politicians sworn to serve the NRA, be afraid, be very afraid. And keep trying to silence this protest by these young voters. Their anger is not going away, and their numbers are growing. How many millions in 2018? And how many millions more in 2020? Yes, be afraid, be very, very afraid. (And keep pi$$ing them off. It can only help their cause.)

As always, thoughtful comments are welcome. Unfortunately, the conservatives remain either unaware or will deny their individual response to this thread is their typical nonsense consisting of denial, alternate facts, and/or off-topic silliness. (e.g. non-sequiturs, ratings, transference, deflection, memes, etc.). Their mindless prattle is expected by people of reason, who also realize it is a waste of time to offer the conservatives any reply.

No one wishes to silence the students. We just want to make sure that their inexperience and lack of maturity is taken into consideration.

What you are doing is proving that your inexperience and lack of maturity is beyond question. Thanks for that, me con troll.

LOL

You let Me know when you've done some of the things I've done.

Lets start with serving in the Armed Forces. You in?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Yep, but it is not the absolute best thing, it is the people, climate, food etc., as Americans realize when they come here Todd.......you never hear a bad word,and they like here and migrate and are very Welcome..but NO GUNS.steve

Anywhere my guns are not welcome, I'm not welcome and I'm not going, unless they're providing 24/7 armed security.

Damn. We will miss you soooooo much.

I hope you spend a great deal of time in gun free zones....

Perhaps the voting age should be raised to 21..or, maybe 25

I have never thought voting should simply be a matter of age. I firmly believe we should return to the Founders' intended guidelines, and require some sort of stake in the system before one gets access to the system controls.

I think it's pretty reasonable for kids to not want to get shot in their classroom while the "adults" do nothing except just tell them to deal with it and hope nothing bad happens to them (because knowing something and telling someone apparently doesn't work).

It is also reasonable to believe that employing retired police and military personnel to shoot back immediately instead of waiting for the uniformed police to arrive and count the bodies will reduce the casualties in school shootings and eventually decrease the frequency of them. Schools being kept "gun free zones" will never work. Shooters are attracted to gun free zones simply because they exist.

IT HAS BEEN PROVEN, OVER AND OVER THAT GUN FREE ZONES DO NOT ATTRACT SHOOTERS, DIPSHIT.
Simply posting con talking points with NO impartial sources just shows you to be a con troll and stupid. Which is an oxymoron.
In many cases, mass shootings in gun free zones ocured with armed guards, dipshit. The gun free designation was there to keep the public from being armed. Because, you see, the fact is that in almost no cases have people with guns simply do nothing to help the situation. Though they do complicate the situation for police, who do not know who is the shooter and who is the ls the guy carrying a concealed weapon. Which gets the concealed weapon and the cop shot. And makes everyone tentative. Which explains, me boy, why only con trolls and the nra the only ones who think gun free zones are bad.
But then, you simply prove that con trolls simply post con talking points.

Then perhaps I should reword my statement. Shooters may not be attracted to gun free zones, but they likely use the knowledge that their targets are in a gun free zone to strengthen rather than weaken their resolve to carry out the shooting.

Except at government buildings and airports, I ignore the no-firearms signs and walk right in.

 

[Anathema]

Damn. We will miss you soooooo much.

You will eventually, one way or another. More likely you will miss the ability to defend yourself or yoir loved ones when you want it the most.

I, on the other hand will not miss you folks. I will not be worried about protecting my wife and our property if the worst happens. I am prepared to do what's necessary to defend us and our home from all enemies; Private AND Governmental

One last hurrah before the fall. Enjoy!

That's what they keep saying.
Of course it tends to be the same people who thought Hillary Clinton could win.

You mean like 90% of people? Even most Trump supporters thought he was done for after Access Hollywood.

Anyway, the republicans are horrendous with young voters, Now they are either ignoring or attacking their future voters. Not sure how that's supposed to end up going well for them. But you keep living in this fantasy land where Trump's white Christian crutch lives on forever.

The Parkland Highschool students don't speak for all "young Americans," moron.

No, they don't, but they speak for a good many.

Kids want to be safe in school. Who'd have imagined such a thing? I know, it's hard to believe that people DON'T want to get shot.

Not many young folks appreciate our lying, cheating, know-nothing president either, or the morons who defend him.

On February 28, BuzzFeed reported that Rep. Debbie Wassermann Schultz aiding in the lobbying in Tallahassee, a teacher’s union organizing the buses that got the kids there, Michael Bloomberg’s groups and the Women’s March working on the upcoming March For Our Lives, MoveOn.org doing social media promotion and (potentially) march logistics, and training for student activists provided by federally funded Planned Parenthood.

The president of the American Federation of Teachers told BuzzFeed they’re also behind the national school walkout, which journalists had previously assured the public was the sole work of a teenager. So, the odds are that the "students" speak for very few actual students.

You show your complete ignorance. While cons need to be told what to believe and what to say, the rest of the population of the world have actual functioning minds. As such, they do not need to be like you, who have to have nut case crazy con web sites, and the NRA, to tell them what to believe.
The NRA, me boy, is out to kill any changes the students and their those supporting them may want. But they do not come close to the money spent by the NRA on politicians and propaganda that you so love.

Only cons need others to tell them what to believe. Because they do not have rational minds.

...er, grassroots, or something

 

[Anathema]

I hope you spend a great deal of time in gun free zones....

Sometimes. Depends on what's going on. If I'm already armed and encounter the sign, I disregard it if I have to go inside. I do generally to avoid those areas. They don't deserve my business. If I am in one and something happens, I will not use my firearm to defend anyone other thsn myself and my wife.

Best thing that happened for Australia...NO GUNS...we grasped the Nettle and WON......you cannot change,well 30% of you because your Brains can see no further than the ends of your Noses.....We Won,YOU LOSE CONSTANTLY....Your Youth are much Brighter than the 30% of you who are Mired in Indecision....just Admit it...ps You don't have Freedom but we do...you are a laughing stock

Best thing that happened for Australia...NO GUNS..

No guns? Are you sure?

Yep,but it is not the absolute best thing,it is the people,climate, food etc., as Americans realize when they come here Todd.......you never hear a bad word,and they like here and migrate and are very Welcome..but NO GUNS.steve

You lied about no guns.

Nope,Gun Clubs,Farmers,The Military,Police but that's about all...Criminals yep,illegal fire arms but they tend to stick to themselves....We had a Murder last year by a 17 year old isis type he has shot on site,the associate 20 year old who gave him the Gun just got 20 years...st

Criminals yep,illegal fire arms

The gun ban didn't stop criminals? Weird.

as usual the gun ban only stopped the law abiding

No guns? One out of seven are said to own guns in Australia, all you need to do is join a gun club and you get to have a gun.

or if you are a criminal simply obtain one through the black market

which is flourishing

In addition to the nearly $2 million in donations to their GoFundMe page, and the contributions from Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, and George and Amal Clooney, “Gun-control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety said on Friday it will donate up to $2.5 million to support marches around the United States on March 24, the date of a planned March For Our Lives in Washington to demand an end to school shootings.” That’s getting close to $4.5 million for those of you keeping a tally.

“Organizers said more than 300 other related events are being organized in support of the march both in the United States and abroad. Everytown will give grants of $5,000 to organizers of up to 500 "sibling" marches, to help with permits, equipment rentals, transportation and other costs.”

By all indications, the grassroots movement started by the students who survived the mass murder at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is gathering momentum very quickly.

This momentum is showing itself to be contagious among high school students across the nation and elsewhere, which will encourage young voters, even those who have graduated over the past few years, to vote in the 2018 mid-term elections and in the 2020 presidential primary and general elections.



This voting block will be dedicated to those candidates who will take positive action on common sense gun control legislation. Perhaps, their influence coupled with that of the progressive voters, will motivate even more of the old Republican geezers in the Senate to retire. This will open the door to elect a Democratic majority to the Senate, a majority capable of overriding any veto by the idiot Trump.

As stated in the OP, conservatives, gun nuts, and Republican politicians sworn to serve the NRA, be afraid, be very, very afraid. The $4.5 million is just the beginning.

As always, thoughtful comments are welcome. But as we have already seen, the conservatives' responses in this thread, to this point, have been everything people of reason expected. The conservatives' typical nonsense is unchanged, and their denial, alternate facts, and off-topic silliness are the usual. The conservatives' mindless prattle proves, again and again, that people of reason are correct in the assertion that any reply to the conservatives' endless nonsense is a waste of time.

U.S. gun-control group pledges $2.5 million for marches to end school shootings

.

And exactly how much is the going price for convincing the majority of Americans to surrender their Constitutional rights? You seem all impressed with lots and lots of dollars, so you must have some idea how much you're going to have to pay to buy freedoms from people. What's the bottom line?

You are apparently too stupid to understand that you have NEVER had the right to have any weapon that you would like to have. Or did someone allow you to have a fixed position machine gun. How about a cannon. Outlawing a gun type is quite legal, me boy.
You see, in every advanced country in the world, except the us, assault weapons are outlawed. And our constitution allows that to happen here. Because, you see, most people world wide, see more value in saving human life, especially that of our kids, than protecting your right to shoot any weapon you would like.

What is this apocryphal "weapon I would like to have", upon which you are basing your unhinged diatribe? DO tell me more about what I'm thinking, of which you allegedly know more than I do. While you're at it, tell us ALL about how you "know" that I'm interested only in the value of owning guns for their own sake, rather than for their use in saving lives, which I will remind you that YOUR policy recommendations and preferences have failed at utterly.

You see, I don't define "advanced" the way you do, ie. any country that is not the US and is significantly to the political left thereof. I have little to no interest in the US following anyone; I believe they should follow us. Because, you see, they talk a good game of being morally superior, but do a piss-poor job of actually putting it into practice.

What’s not surprising is one particular party preying on the young lady’s fears to try to push an agenda that had no support when you are using your brain rather than emotion
