A larger group of more than a thousand Parkland residents — students and teachers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High as well as chaperones — is arriving in the nation’s capital on Saturday for the march. Some students are traveling in buses departing from Coral Springs on Friday, while others are flying into D.C. early Saturday morning.

Travel expenses for the group of 200 students flying into D.C. on Thursday have been covered by Giffords, an organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords to combat gun violence. Giffords has also helped coordinate Friday meetings with 40 members of Congress. South Florida lawmakers Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Alcee Hastings and Frederica Wilson are hosting a reception for the students Friday afternoon. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi also intends to meet with them.

Here we go...I said it from the start, when Ema Gonzalas within hours had a finely crafted anti gun message spreading all over a fawning media before the bodies were even identified....This is a big left movement, NOT grass roots in any way....

They who? The activist groups that are the real players behind this push using the victims of the violence as useful tools?

Yeah, 'cause the Left sure did somehow get the message to all the tens of thousands of students who walked out of school a week or so ago...and amazingly enough, the Left was able to do it SECRETLY, without anybody ever being able to find out how the Left was able to convince all those students to walk out...and all those tens of thousands of students acted in solidarity, too, 'cause not a single one of them spoke out and said how they'd been contacted by the Left to walk out of school in protest against guns!

Now that's incredible! Either those tens of thousands of students were ALL in on the conspiracy and ALL kept their mouths shut, or...

...that's just one more example of why conspiracy theories like yours are looked upon with scorn by most thinking men. A guy named Benjamin Franklin once said, "Three men can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." That's something you should remember the next time you start thinking about Vast Left-Wing Conspiracies.

Listen here...This has been covered regardless of your snarky BS....

"There are more than 3,130 largely student-organized walkouts scheduled, according to EMPOWER, the group behind the national school walkout. National organizers, who are the youth branch of the women's march, are advocating stricter gun regulation including bans on assault weapons and expanded background checks."

Agreed. Someone needs to send them a box of tide pods so they can go back to eating them to impress people on Youtube.

Taking away legally ownership of guns isn't going to solve that.

"You could, theoretically, cut down on all these deaths with a blanket removal of guns from the U.S. entirely — something that is as politically unlikely as it is legally untenable. Barring that, though, policies aimed at reducing gun deaths will likely need to be targeted at the specific people who commit or are victimized by those incidents. And mass shootings just aren’t a good proxy for the diversity of gun violence. "

Tide pod eaters demand civil rights be taken from law abiding citizens, making us all less safe in the name of a political movement that doesn't care about them!

Absolutely Renae....It really shocks the sensibilities that in such a short period of time we are seeing the destructive nature of allowing progressive ideology to overtake, and infest our education system from top to bottom.
