Teens stage ‘die-in' at Governor's Mansion

Teenagers armed themselves with a megaphone and gathered outside the Governor’s Mansion in downtown Austin Sunday night to try and get attention for their cause. “Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, Texas legislators -- for as long as this is happening, we will stand to make sure that common-sense gun laws are enacted,” yelled one of the speakers through the device... The students also staged a “die-in,” laying down on the ground for 23 minutes as if they were dead -- one minute for every school shooting since the start of the school year... These students also want to end the culture of apathy they say surrounds teenagers’ opinions in politics.

Like I said last week.
Ted Cruz needs to stop worrying what Iowa and NY are doing and start helping to fixing TX.

...or its Seattle, or Portland, or Boulder.

Better get a grip on Austin or the whole state will end up in the control of the people who live there.

These students (and very likely their parents) make Forrest Gump look downright intelligent.

I will bet that every one of these kids’ fathers are out of shape girly men who cried when Hillary lost.

[MrEdd]

Toxicology reports say what about the little delinquents?

[MrEdd]

That isn’t inline with the Cubanadian’s globalist agenda.

I always said that Forrest was the smartest guy in the movie.

Pointless look-at-me exercises are incongruent with ‘common sense’ as are ignorant teeangers.

23 minutes as if they were dead -- one minute for every school shooting since the start of the school year

So incredibly sick of this lie.

[gundog]

Is Matthew McCohoozits considered washed up?

[rjsimmon]

one minute for every school shooting since the start of the school year

Well, that's a lie. Cannot teach liberals to think for themselves.

[Iron Munro]

The experts are keeping the hoplophobes informed and fired up.....

From what I understand Connecticut has already banned the AR15. I wonder what assult weapons he is talking about? Probably anything over a single shot 22 cal.

[Trillian]

Too bad they won’t try this stunt in chicago, they’d probably get shot.

[Iron Munro]

From what I understand Connecticut has already banned the AR15. I wonder what assult weapons he is talking about?

He is probably calling for the ban on a national level.

...we will stand to make sure that common-sense gun laws are enacted,”

Say, isn't there a "common sense" law currently on the books that says murder is illegal?

[trebb]

Yep - they act like the average politician and think they are also being clever....

[unlearner]

This Ted Derangement Syndrome is getting old.

Only the most severe cases of it could result in taking sides with Hogg-Soros-inspired gun-grabbing teens.

Seek help.

[Bonemaker]

“Yet another reason teens are still considered children.”

Who was the genius who gave 18 year olds the vote?

[Bonemaker]

“Maybe the horses too.”

Horses and mounted men with sabers.

“......or its Seattle, or Portland, or Boulder.”

Or Madison.
