There are areas where gun control activists and the pro-Second Amendment camp can meet. There are gun violence protective orders; keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, and the mentally ill. But we’ll never get there. It’s all a trap. Even bills that strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) are a dangerous game because if you give the Left an inch, they’ll take a mile. They admitted it yesterday. Deleney Tarr, a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, gave an impassioned speech about how they’re going to do exactly that concerning gun control legislation, which is why Republicans, conservatives, pro-Second Amendment supporters, an any American who supports the Bill of Rights and the Constitution needs to start packing more sandbags and make sure our base turns out in 2018. The Huffington Post had a transcript of her speech from yesterday’s March To Take Away Our Rights…I mean—March For Our Lives rally [emphasis mine]
My name is Delaney Tarr, and I’m here today because I’m a Marjory Stoneman Douglas student. However, I’m not here today for the media. I’m not here for the crowds, as great as you all are, for the fame, for the fun. I’m here on this stage today and I’ve been working everyday for my 17 fellow Eagles who were pronounced dead because of gunfire.
I am here for every person that has died at the hands of gun violence and for the many more whose lives were irreparably changed because of it. I think, I hope that that is why we are all here. Because this is more than just a march. This is more than just one day, one event, then moving on. This is not a mere publicity stunt, a single day in the span of history. This is a movement.
This is a movement reliant on the persistence and passion of its people. We cannot move on. If we move on, the NRA and those against us will win. They want us to forget. They want our voices to be silenced. And they want to retreat into the shadows where they can remain unnoticed. They want to be back on top, unquestioned in their corruption, but we cannot and we will not let that happen.
Today, and every day, we will continue to fight for those things that are right. We will continue to fight for common sense. We will continue to fight for our lives. We will continue to fight for our dead friends. There will be no faltering, no pauses in our cause. Every moment will be dedicated to those pieces of legislation ? every march, every meeting, every moment. All for that assault weapons ban to keep these weapons of war out of the hands of civilians who do not need them. All for the prohibition of high-capacity magazines. Because no hunter will ever need access to a magazine that can kill 17 in mere minutes. All for the reinforcement of background checks and closing of loopholes, because there must be more of a requirement for a person to access a gun than just a wad of cash.
There are so very many things, so many steps to take. Like right now, sign our petition. It takes two seconds and it matters. We will take the big and we will take the small, but we will keep fighting. When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.
We are not here for bread crumbs. We are here for real change.
We are here to lead.
We are here to call out every single politician, to force them into enacting this legislation, to addressing this legislation, to doing more than a simple Band-Aid on a broken bone. The pressure is on for every person in power, and it will stay that way. Because they know what is coming. They know that if there is no assault weapons ban passed, then we will vote them out. They know that if there is no tightening of the background checks, we will vote them out. They know that if there is no shrinking of magazine capacity, then we will vote them out.
If they continue to ignore us, to only pretend to listen, then we will take action where it counts. We will take action every day, in every way, until they simply cannot ignore us anymore. Today we march, we fight, we roar. We prepare our signs, we raise them high. We know what we want, we know how to get it, and we are not waiting any longer.

She then listed off demands for universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and a ban on so-called high capacity magazines.— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) March 24, 2018
Today, we grab our signs, we lace our shoes, and we get ready to roar. See ya there. #MarchForOurLives— Delaney Tarr (@delaneytarr) March 24, 2018
First of all, let’s drop the myth that America is a shooting gallery. It’s not, especially in our schools, which are safer than ever. School shootings are still rare. Mass shootings are rare. Second, Fix NICS was part of the omnibus bill that was signed into law by President Donald Trump on Friday, so background checks have taken a step forward in being tightened. The NRA and the National Shooting Sports Foundation supported Fix NICS.
So, what if the anti-gun mob has their way and gets magazine limits, a new ban on so-called assault weapons, and universal background checks. They want to take a mile, many more miles, if we give them an inch. It’s a gun ban. It’s gun confiscation. It’s the abolition of the Second Amendment. And this is not just something that was a byproduct of the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida. This has been on the progressive agenda for years. They’re just using aggrieved teenagers to push it because emotions are valued more than facts in this battle—and the Left has all the feelings in the fight to strip Americans of their rights.

That’s where we’re heading if these people win. We cannot let that happen, which is why I’m worried about 2018. House Democrats already have a bill that virtually bans firearms in this country, with 82 percent supporting the ban on all semiautomatic firearms, which includes handguns. This is where their base is on the issue of gun control.
The conservative movement needs to unite and defeat this upswell. This is not just a fight over the Second Amendment. It’s for the Bill of Rights. It’s for the heart and soul of the country that is being put in the crosshairs. This isn’t just some other fight; it’s a deeply entrenched and highly intense cultural one. Things could get messy. It’ll start with these action items. The universal background check system the Left wants would have to be a national registry to track private transfers, which are mostly family inheritances, like a father passing down his guns to his son or daughter, which is common. This will be the blueprint from which mass gun confiscation could occur. If it does—let’s just entertain this for a second—then, we’ll see police going door-to-door to grab these firearms from law-abiding citizens. I’m sure the Left would have zero problems with this, though they become incensed when federal agents round up illegal aliens; illegals over citizens, sounds like where the progressive Left is today, huh?
Let’s not give them an inch. It’s times like these that defending freedom is difficult. Stick to your guns (no pun intended). Use their hate to motivate you; head to that voting precinct on 2018 and don’t check that box that reads “Democratic.” When the Left calls you a terrorist for being an NRA member or says that you have blood on my hands for supporting the Bill of Rights? Renew or join the NRA and start donating to other pro-Second Amendment organizations and politicians. Also, you can be both for gun rights and keeping schools safe.
We know what the end game is with these people. After they’re done with the Second Amendment, the great progressive campaign to shred the Constitution of its institutional mechanisms that prevent mob rule through transient majorities will begin. And that’s when we cease, in my eyes, to be a country. This is merely the first round of a long battle. This is what’s at stake. The long war with the Left never ended. It was just an extended halftime. Just remember they can’t be trusted.
Who administers these and make the determination?
keeping guns out of the hands of criminals,
Who are allowed to plea-bargain down to lesser penalties by liberal judges
domestic abusers,
Anybody can say anything that makes one a domestic abuser.
and the mentally ill.
Again, who determines who is mentally ill?
Never believe that gun registration (which the left refers to as “the gun show loophole”) is a tool to make you safer.
History shows that pure evil is often an outcome.
The perennial gun-control debate in America did not begin here. The same arguments for and against were made in the 1920s in the chaos of Germany’s Weimar Republic, which opted for gun registration. Law-abiding persons complied with the law, but the Communists and Nazis committing acts of political violence did not.
In 1931, Weimar authorities discovered plans for a Nazi takeover in which Jews would be denied food and persons refusing to surrender their guns within 24 hours would be executed. They were written by Werner Best, a future Gestapo official. In reaction to such threats, the government authorized the registration of all firearms and the confiscation thereof, if required for “public safety.” The interior minister warned that the records must not fall into the hands of any extremist group.#ad#
In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the records to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. Constitutional rights were suspended, and mass searches for and seizures of guns and dissident publications ensued. Police revoked gun licenses of Social Democrats and others who were not “politically reliable.”
During the five years of repression that followed, society was “cleansed” by the National Socialist regime.
The #MarchForOurLives crowd isn’t shy about embracing totalitarianism and mass-murder.
Tell these people to go f*** themselves.
Citizens unable to protect themselves by force of arms are not free; they are subjects/slaves.

Short form: “Why the Left Can’t be Trusted”.
Marx For Our Lives!
“Never believe that gun registration (which the left refers to as “the gun show loophole”) is a tool to make you safer.”
Also NEVER believe that it ENDS with registration. Think of gay marriage - the reason that it wound up with public ‘support’ was that people thought that the gays would get out of their faces. Did they? Can little girls still use locker rooms without perverts having a right to be there? Maybe...but it’s not going our way.
“We are here toady”, she continued, “for confiscation of all guns and the removal of those vile gun totters to places where they can be reeducated.
“We are here toady to shore up the people’s will and further the peoples party so that we all might live in safe places free from violence and hatred so prevalent on the right.”
Wild applause ...
These kids are just a front.
This is not a new movement it is the same old Progressive Movement!
This is all smoke and mirrors.
Obama-Holder forced the sale of firearms to straw purchasers and narcoterrorists in Mexico. Allegedly this was done to track the movement of such weapons. These illegally sold weapons were in the thousands and have been traced to thousands of killings including dead Americans.
If these Stalinists were actually upset over criminals spilling the blood of innocents, they would be pushing for a criminal investigation of the Fast and Furious government program.
If these Stalinists were actually upset over rampage killings they would demand answers as to why the FBI provoked the “Draw Mohammed” shooting that was designed to kill the critics of Sharia law and Islamic jihad in America.
No, something else is at work here and it is evil.
Stupid conservatives are too apathetic to get up and get out to vote.
If they don’t show up in November, they will get Pelosi and Schumer.
All because they want to teach the GOP and Trump a lesson over the omnibus act.
The stakes are far too high to allow our feelings about it to supersede our duty to protect our rights and the future of our country.
If we fail to rise the occasion, we deserve none of them and the future will belong to America’s enemies.
We have been put on notice.
Same people . If they were not protesting guns it would be Confederate monuments, or enforcing immigration law,or prayer in school, or ten commandments on county grounds.
Would these bozos agree to make it a law that it is illegal to murder someone?
The only way to win this battle is to go on full offense and attack the GCA of 34/68. The American people have the right to own machine guns, short barrel guns and destructive devices. Background checks of any kind are a direct violation of the constitution. We have arrived at this point because we refuse to understand all gun control stems from these two unconstitutional laws. The American people would never accept laws that stated only the government can engage in political speech why do we accept laws that say only the federal government can possess machine guns? Political speech is most the important protection of the first amendment and machine guns and military weapons are the most important protection of the second amendment, in fact the intent of the second is specifically to protect military arms. Now is the time to go on full offense, accept nothing less.
Delaney,
Sit down and shut up.
Not one damn inch. That is our position.
Not one damn inch.
The Democrap Party is one major link in the chain seeking to spread chaos across America by exploiting the programmed ignorance of kids, pitting these emotion driven children against the adults in the Republic. This is an evil agenda and the democrats in offices all over America are active party to the evil. Voters, take notice. The democrap party is working hard to divide families, manipulating teens to revolt against adults. This is an ideological AND SPIRITUAL war!
It's, like, so unfair and all, you know?
***When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.***
We learned this back in 1968. They will grab all they can, and be back for more before the ink is dried. So we push back, HARD!
What have they got to bring to the bargain table? We have the guns, they want them. What will THEY give up to us to reach an agreement? They have NOTHING. Nada. Zip. but bluff and bluster.
We learned ETERNAL VIGILANCE back in 1968 when they came back for more in 1971, 1976, 1981, 1985. 1988.
