It’s not NRA money that’s the problem, it’s NRA voters (barf alert)

I often say the same thing about Democrats.

Wrong photo - should be Don Knotts as Barney Fife.

The liberal gun-grabbers and the democRAS will use these kids until they squeeze every drop of sympathy from the public they can and they they will discard them.

These kids will be in for a shock when they realize they've been played by the democRATS just to advance their agenda.

democRATS don't care about school children and their safety. It they did, they would have done something by now. They've been in power 8 years.

Instead, they fall back on their same old games of blaming the Republicans for killing kids and being in bed with the NRA.

That's because they have nothing else. Nothing.

I agree with the article... NRA gets all it’s “power” from the voters who support them. The writer seems to desire some kind of “final solution to the NRA voters question”. I’m sure condemn, hate and despise is a winning election strategy for 2018. DemWits do more please!

Hey, Eric Zorn - there's a reason we don't let 7-year-olds vote. It has a lot to do with the formation of judgement and reasoning. The portion of the brain that facilitates judgement is not mature in most people until the age of 25. These kids have been traumatized, and while it may be polite to listen and give them time to vent their fears and frustrations - we are talking about fundamental Constitutional Rights here. Children/teens do not understand that. They have an emotional reaction to what they have seen, what they were forced to be part of.

The founding fathers designed the Constitution and its amending procedures in such a way to avoid the integration of intense passions that are stirred by events like this. You wouldn't want the 1st, 4th, 5th or 6th Amendments to be infringed upon or modified by the passion of the moment, what's special about the 2nd in that regard?

What you see in teenagers in this situation is understandable, forgivable. They are not fully developed, fully functioning, entirely responsible people yet.

What you see in the adults who are managing this “movement” from behind the scenes is really despicable. They translate emotion into policy and legislation and even constitutional amendments. God save us from people like this.

As a typical move by the libtard progressives, always resort to demonizing.

And as evident, all of us know, the real goal of the libtard progressives was to remove the 2nd Amendment...

They are determined to destroy the WASP roots of this country, which was built when Britain sent troops to seize guns at Concord. Those weapons were the key to the colonists’ right to self-determination, and both sides knew it. To this day, we are citizens while they are subjects living with a hereditary monarchy.

The left wants to import Third Worlders with no such traditions, who are quite content to let white Bolshevik commissars determine what is in their best interests.
