Pollak: March for Our Lives – This is What Demagoguery Looks Like
Breitbart ^ | 24 Mar 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 03/25/2018 10:53:10 AM PDT by Cheerio

There are three things to know about the March for Our Lives on Saturday.

One is that the protests banned speakers who support the Second Amendment — including student survivors like Kyle Kashuv and relatives of victims like Hunter Pollack.

As far as protecting the lives of students is concerned — which is, ostensibly, the entire point — the march organizers were uninterested in an open conversation about what might actually be effective.

The second thing to know is that President Donald Trump had already banned bump stocks and signed expanded background checks and school safety measures into law by the time the marches began.

The speakers demanded legislation, but there was no more legislation to pass — at least, no legislation that would ever survive the Supreme Court. Many of the marchers simply want to repeal the Second Amendment. There was little room for discussion of reasonable proposals.

The third thing to know is that the marches were backed by big leftist organizations, and accompanied by get-out-the-vote efforts.

I don’t care how many numbskulls the Democrats get to stand outside like sheep in a pasture.

The Democrats used American military armored vehicles at Waco to burn up children to make a political point.

No gun control.

Never.

“The Democrats used American military armored vehicles at Waco to burn up children”

Over 50 American men, women and children were burned alive in Waco no one was charged in fact no one even lost thier job. Just like that Rat Sheriff in Florida got away with shifting the blame to the NRA and the Republicans.
So now we have an attack on the 2nd and thousands of brain washed kids are being registered to vote in 20.

I was waiting for an announcer to say, “The March For Our Lives is being sponsored by ...!” It had a made for TV event feel to it, and not the spontaneous march it was supposed to be!

They don’t want to repeal it they want to illegally prevent it from being enforced.
