It feels like the early days of the #MeToo movement, which caused a cultural shift regarding sexual misconduct — but this time, the problem at hand is gun violence, and the movement is called #NeverAgain. And this time, the courageous individuals leading the effort for change are teenagers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Just a few weeks ago, these young Americans were simply living the typical teenage life. But that changed on February 14, 2018, when a 19-year-old former student carrying a weapon of war entered their school with the intent of slaughtering people — and he did just that.
Those students who were recently on the front line of gun violence are now on the front line of pushing for laws that will save the lives of other young Americans. And clearly, many of these activists, who witnessed firsthand what an AR-15 can do to the body of a fellow teenager, view the NRA as a big part of the problem.

Tampa gun show this past weekend had record numbers. And there was one in Reno that according to Reno89519 was pretty well attended. I forgot to go! DOH!
Sales are trending up again.
Every time they start talking about gun control, sales go up.
This is the current state of HotAir? What is this garbage?

Oh no, my post was not aimed at you.
“But that changed on February 14, 2018, when a 19-year-old former student carrying a weapon of war”
Weapon of war, I keep hearing this term even on FB, what the hell does that mean, a weapon is a weapon and all weapons at their core are designed to kill, period.
Attended a gun show this weekend, purchased a firearm, made a donation to the NRA (I’m already a BN Life).
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave !
Aimed. Now I feel threatened. Where’s sheriff Israel when you need him? Probably demonstrating how to cower behind your squad car. LOL!
Q: Was the hero coach, the late Aaron Feis an NRA member?
My favorite quote
A well armed society is a polite society
Either that or campaigning for Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Seriously considering re-upping in the Nazi Republican Army.
Sometimes I wonder if these idiots realize what will happen if they REALLY piss off law-abiding gun owners.
It would be true if all we had was the MSM. But we’re in a different world. The truth is allowed to percolate to the surface.
In this case, it becomes more and more clear every day, to more and more people, that the problem is complete and utter failure of law enforcement at multiple levels. The more we know, the worse it looks.
We’re gonna need more popcorn.
I renewed my NRA membership last night. I haven’t shot a gun in fifty years.
