The NRA’s worst nightmare is here(NOT!)

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.

And I’ve never heard them offer a compromise on guns, not even once. We start off with our rights, they offer nothing in return.
I never hear in return for an assault rifle ban, we get nationwide constitutional concealed carry with no permit needed.
I never hear in return for what they want, all restrictions on 22s, shotguns, and all the cowboy action replicas are dropped.

I never hear in return for better background checks, a citizen can purchase a gun in any state they want.

All I hear is them wanting another bite out of my rights with nothing in return. A compromise is where both sides feel some pain.

When it’s gun violence it’s Never Again

When it’s Muslim Terrorism it’s just part and parcel of life now.

Got it.
