They are registering kids not old enough to vote. These kids will show up and vote RAT and scream that people are mean and keeping them from voting if caught.

I pray we are on top of this.

This is the result of giving those Promise policies at Parkland a pass. There’s has to be all kinds of problems encountered by students who because of them hated the place. Who would if given a chance tell it like it is but will never get the chance.

Parents need to educate their children - clearly the government and media are both lying incessantly.

I do not think Louisiana has strict gun laws.

With that being the case, how does New Orleans have strict gun control laws?

Excellent point.
Up to now, they shout and get excited and twirl around and then don’t go out to vote if something fun is going on such as a party or some people meeting at the bar. Talked a great game of socialism and tearing down the establishment up to that point.

I’m worried about this time. All the 24 hour Trump hatred in school and on TV may get them out.

Dare I say the body of evidence is there to see?

No, maybe I won’t.

I’m afraid our side is a bit asleep at the wheel.

The Left knows they can't enact gun control through congress so I'm expecting to see a slew of gun control laws via ballot referendum sneaking up on us this November.

Put an assault weapons ban up for popular vote and it'll pass in a landslide. Every minivan-driving soccer mom will support it. We won't know what hit us.

I read voter registration in young people is up...in those registering as REPUBLICANS! The MSM is continuing their attempt to talk conservatives into not bothering to go to the polls, “’cause there’s a big unstoppable BLUE WAVE a’comin’!”
Yeah, and Hillary had 2016 in the bag, too.

I would not be surprised if X Box Network and PSN are down for “scheduled maintenance” on election day, along with a “you can’t play but you can vote” PR campaign (nudge by the left coast leftists)


Ok, that may be true of some of the guys, who weren’t up partying til 4 a.m., but a lot of those girls, will still have to spend 4 or 5 hours, dying their hair, trying on clothes, waxing their “whatever’s”, and contouring their make-up. With all that, plus yoga class, who has time to vote? (Come to think of it, that may describe an ever increasing number of guys, as well).

I wish to God that at almost 60, I knew was much as I did at 17. Just saying.

Trust me, it will not happen. These young people’s mindset are like tweets.

The US is the #3 most populous country in the world, after China and India.

Of all the countries in North, Central and South America (which have far more racial and ethnic diversity than most of Europe), the US has one of the lowest homicide rates.

No, not likely.

The AR-15 is the most popular sporting rifle in America. There are over three million of them in circulation.

Three million. That means about 1 out of every 100 American owns one.

This also means that about 99 out of every 100 Americans don't own an AR-15.

Now if we put an AR-15 ban on the ballot as a referendum, what percentage of these 99 out of every 100 Americans do you think would support it?

Personally, I don't think AR-15s are nearly as popular and beloved with Americans who don't own them as people here think they are.

Broward county and ft laud mayor are trying to close down gun shows.

And the police chief of Houston said if you want gun control, put it on the ballot and vote for it as a referendum, as many smaller municipalities are successfully doing.

Lots of people here whistling past the grave yard.
