WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) - Gun control advocates, including one of the survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting and the parents of one of the victims, are marching 50 miles (80 kilometers) across Massachusetts this week to the headquarters of gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson as part of a youth-led push for stricter gun laws.

Can’t you hear the CEO of Smith & Wesson saying, “Gee, gun control advocates are marching 50 miles to our headquarters. I guess we have no choice but to quit manufacturing guns.”

Couldn’t they have just pulled their Volvos and Priuses into the parking lot like a normal person?

Uh, careful with the Volvo talk. Mrs. Rktman has an S80 2007 with the 4.4L DOHC V-8. Nice car.

My 1998 V70 T5 turbo has 215,000 miles and the original clutch.

(The first car I ever saw the "Gun Control Means Using Two Hands" bumper sticker on was a Volvo station wagon.)

Kennedy was not all bad, just mostly bad.

If JFK Was Alive Today The Democrats Wouldn't Allow Him To Join The Party.

The majority of these people have no idea what it is like to march or walk 50 miles.

I guarantee you that most of the “marching” will actually be riding.

There will be a small convoy of “support vehicles” for that purpose.

Of course the media will concentrate coverage on the short periods of time when some of the “marchers” are actually walking.

That's nothing. Here in Missouri, Claire McCaskill couldn't even do a RV tour, she flew on her private jet, to the RV to the photo op and speech to the peasants, back to the plane.

Sadly, we can’t remove them so we’re stuck with them.

Did you know that Twitter, Disqus, and Facebook ALL CENSOR certain conservative firearm and abortion speech? See this: It is worth noting that both Disqus and Fakebook CENSOR any mention of a website, www.CodeIsFreeSpeech.com that provides FREE downloads of 3D-printable firearm blueprints. And, since Facebook/Disqus logins are so prevalent for posting commentary across the Internet, they are very effectively suppressing this “Forbidden Knowledge” almost EVERYWHERE. Please go to the website, download some or all 10 of the free blueprints, and then, repost it to your friends and across the Internet, to the extent you can. Strike a BLOW against Fakebook and judicial CENSORSHIP! Support TWO amendments at once, the First and the Second!
