HYPOCRISY, Thy Name Is 'DEMOCRAT': Democrats Leave Capitol To March For Gun Control With Students

Good for them.

No Republicans?

I think it is a good thing Democrats show their support.
I hope they choose to make it a major platform issue this campaign season.

It will be a welcome relief from them talking about all the stuff they usually don't accomplish.

DNC MOTTOS:

1. 'Never let a tragedy go to waste.'

2. 'Never let a PHOTO OP go to waste.'



Democrats leave Capitol to join student gun protest

"Democratic leaders in the House and Senate exited the Capitol on Wednesday to march with and speak to students protesting gun violence on the one-month anniversary of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.

Senior members of Democratic leadership joined other lawmakers from the House and Senate on Capitol Hill as thousands of students marched while others around the country walked out of classes or staged other protests."


Forget for a minute that Barry's pushed liberal agenda made it possible for the shooter to buy a gun...

Forget for a minute that these are the same Democrats who refused to pass Kate's law...

Forget for a minute that Schumer and these Democrats are the same ones who chose to stand with MS13 gang members and violent illegals - who have victimized / murdered Americans and who are now being protected in law-violating Sanctuary Cities - instead of Americans in order to shut the US government down not long ago...

Forget for a minute that these are the same Democrats just berated by illegals who recognized how Democrats were using them for political gain, much like they are now using the Parkland Florida shooting victims and students and this photo op for political gain...

If you can forget all of that then you could possible fall for this DNC politically-motivated theatrical performance designed to play on the emotions of all the suckers out there. designed to create emotion-based support for their gun-grabbing agenda....

that's because you've never been particularly bright.

It's okay if they use students to do their bidding.

If they have to round up a bunch of kids to support their ideas ... It doesn't surprise me.

The hypocrisy continues to be revealed.....

While murderers and cop killers who organize and run the Women's march organize the Student walk-out and march, while Democrats - who have engaged in violent rhetoric that inspired an extremist whack-o to attempt the assassination of GOP politicians - suddenly leave their offices to join this emotion-driven gun-grabbing-agenda March, it is being revealed how the Obama administration forced his DOJ to eliminate the names of 500,000 violent felons from the background check registry.


Obama DOJ Forced FBI To Delete 500,000 Fugitives From Background Check Database

"The Justice Department under Barack Obama directed the FBI to drop more than 500,000 names of fugitives with outstanding arrest warrants from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, acting FBI deputy director David Bowdich testified Wednesday.

Fugitives from justice are barred from buying a firearm under federal law. But what is a fugitive from justice? That definition has been under debate by the FBI and the ATF."




Bwuhahaha.........

That just means some kids are smarter than others and put reason before emotions.
But still ... Kids are kids ... And gun control is the least of our problems when it comes to the bullshit they are being fed on a daily basis.

That's what lefties are afraid off - kids thinking for themselves.

I wrote about it HERE
 
Aside from the NRA, there was nothing preventing the GOP from joining the students.

These kids are being manipulated and used by Liberals, just like how the 'Dreamers' realized they were being manipulated and used by them.

These kids should be in school, not egged on by the hypocrites who do not give a damn about them but who only want to use them to push their gun-grabbing agenda.

Probably the stupidest comment ^^^ I've read or heard today. It takes an ignorant asshole to suggest "these kids" needed liberals to tell them to protest the murder of fellow students in FL.

These kids are the best and brightest, they have taken civics and the First Amendment onto the streets and TV's all across America. Many of them will be able to vote in 2018, and many more in 2020.

The liberal tactic of manipulating people through emotion is well documented. It is why liberals rush to the front during tragedies and begin playing on emotions. Victims were not even out of surgery / danger in Vegas and parkland before the gun-grabbers were politicizing the events and pushing their anti-gun agendas.

The Democrats did not wait for the reality revealed that the local police and FBI had f*ed up in Parkland and how if they had not the tragedy could have been avoided. SINCE Parkland several attacks have been prevented because people did speak out and authorities DID do their job...but you wouldn't know about those because the liberal media is refusing to discuss those.

It wasn't the FBI or the local police who put that gun in the hands of the FL killer. It was you, and other selfish assholes who put their wants in place of the lives of others, and the NRA & the Republican's in Congress who enables such horrific events which are the new normal.
 
It wasn't the FBI or the local police who put that gun in the hands of the FL killer.
No, it was an Obama administration agenda item that prevented the killer's information being reported and eventually denying him the right to buy the weapons he used.

No, it was the local police who responded to his home / to complaints against him more than 30 times, who did not exercise warrants and search his home for the weapons he used.

No, it was the local sheriff who ordered his deputies NOT to go into harm's way to protect kids being gunned down, who reprimanded SWAT team members for running in to try to save lives, who also ordered his deputies to defend him and what went down.

No, it was the FBI who has ADMITTED publicly they f*ed up by not following protocol and not investigating the case, allowing it to happen without any scrutiny from them beforehand.

Unlike you, bright enough to see students being used as political props.

That's not what YOU See, it is an echo of the propaganda being passed along by those who profit from the sale of guns and ammo, an industry which enables the murder of children and young adults in schools, at church, at concerts and movie theaters.

No one needed to manipulate these students, in fact they are the leaders of tomorrow and are exercising their First Amendment Rights and to speak, and peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Sadly Ryan and McConnell have yet to act, but sure as can be that they hear and fear the message of these soon to be voters. It's past time for The Members of Congress to put every dollar given them by the NRA into our nation's school systems, directed to more school counselors and not a penny to purchase firearms for teachers.

And while they are at it, they need to share the largess they are giving to the Military Industrial Complex with local LE, and to put pairs of armed officers with specialized training*** to protect every campus in America.

*** trained in defending against an active shooter, and trained in leading discussion among students on issues such a bullying, Domestic Violence, and the dangers inherent in drunk driving.

Anyone who saw Signal 30 understands its impact, maybe a film of those wounds from gun fire of those murdered or maimed would increase intelligence between student and these Deputies and their agency.



Very graphic movie which I saw in driving training my Jr. Year in High School
 
2. Defensive uses of guns are common:
“Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year…in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.”
Or they are not.

from RESEARCH TO REDUCE THE THREAT OF FIREARM-RELATED VIOLENCE

Defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence,
although the exact number remains disputed (Cook and Ludwig, 1996;
Kleck, 2001a). Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive
gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by
criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to
more than 3 million (Kleck, 2001a), in the context of about 300,000 violent
crimes involving firearms in 2008 (BJS, 2010). On the other hand,
some scholars point to a radically lower estimate of only 108,000 annual
defensive uses based on the National Crime Victimization Survey (Cook
et al., 1997). The variation in these numbers remains a controversy in the
field. The estimate of 3 million defensive uses per year is based on an
extrapolation from a small number of responses taken from more than 19
national surveys. The former estimate of 108,000 is difficult to interpret
because respondents were not asked specifically about defensive gun use.
A different issue is whether defensive uses of guns, however numerous
or rare they may be, are effective in preventing injury to the gunwielding
crime victim. Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual
Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-Related Violence

16 RESEARCH TO REDUCE THE THREAT OF FIREARM-RELATED VIOLENCE
defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the
crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have
found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims
compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies (Kleck,
1988; Kleck and DeLone, 1993; Southwick, 2000; Tark and Kleck,
2004). Effectiveness of defensive tactics, however, is likely to vary
across types of victims, types of offenders, and circumstances of the
crime, so further research is needed both to explore these contingencies
and to confirm or discount earlier findings.
Even when defensive use of guns is effective in averting death or injury
for the gun user in cases of crime, it is still possible that keeping a
gun in the home or carrying a gun in public—concealed or open carry—
may have a different net effect on the rate of injury. For example, if gun
ownership raises the risk of suicide, homicide, or the use of weapons by
those who invade the homes of gun owners, this could cancel or outweigh
the beneficial effects of defensive gun use (Kellermann et al.,
1992, 1993, 1995). Although some early studies were published that relate
to this issue, they were not conclusive, and this is a sufficiently important
question that it merits additional, careful exploration.​

Harvard Injury Control Research Center
We find that the claim of many millions of annual self-defense gun uses by American citizens is invalid.

The Contradictions of the Kleck Study
In a 1992 survey, Gary Kleck, a Florida State University criminologist, found that there are 2.5 million defensive gun uses (DGU's) per year by “law-abiding” citizens in the United States. Another study from the same period, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), estimated 65,000 DGUs annually. The NCVS survey differed from Kleck’s study in that it only interviewed those who reported a threatened, attempted, or completed victimization for one of six crimes: rape, robbery, assault, burglary, non-business larceny, and motor vehicle theft. That accounts for the discrepancy in the two results. A National Research Council report said that Kleck's estimates appeared to be exaggerated and that it was almost certain that "some of what respondents designate[d] as their own self-defense would be construed as aggression by others" (Understanding and Preventing Violence, 266, Albert J. Reiss, Jr. & Jeffrey A. Roth, eds., 1992).
 
JUST IN: Broward County Sheriff Releases Video Of Deputy Letting Kids Die During Parkland Shooting

"In the video, Peterson can be seen “standing outside the school” as Nikolas Cruz killed 17 students and staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The sheriff’s office released a statement along with the video, saying “the video speaks for itself.”

“His actions were enough to warrant an internal affairs investigation as requested by Sheriff Scott Israel on February 21,” the statement continues. “After being suspended without pay, Peterson chose to resign and immediately retired rather than face possible termination”

The study I sited was conducted by the CDC, the government agency officially charged with compiling statistics about such things. You'll have to excuse us if we don't accept a study conducted at Harvard University. It would be just as credible as an investigation of Hillary Clinton conducted by James Comey and Peter Strzok.

Not quite. You cited a report by the CDC that referenced a study by Gary Kleck. It made no evaluation of the validity of the study. Luckily others have evaluated it.

Aside from the NRA, there was nothing preventing the GOP from joining the students.
These kids are being manipulated and used by Liberals, just like how the 'Dreamers' realized they were being manipulated and used by them.

These kids should be in school, not egged on by the hypocrites who do not give a damn about them but who only want to use them to push their gun-grabbing agenda.

You're right. They just think they are fed up with kids being killed at school. Thanks for pointing that out.......idiot.
It was liberal policy that got those kids killed.

It is neither side doing something proactive. Unlike DUIs, both sides focus on the guns with the gun rights crowd being defensive about gun control.

Neither side is asking WHY we don't hold government accountable for allowing dangerous people to run amok in a free society.
