What you need to know about the national school walkout

That it is nonsense which will accomplish nothing and prevent nothing? I already knew that.

When attending students are forced into participating in what amounts to a political protest, it's close enough. If I had any school aged chidren, I would be pulling them out of public school and putting them in private school about now.

Wait - who is forcing them into participating?
 
The front page of the Detroit Free Press has an article explaining that over 85 Michigan schools are set to walk this Wednesday. My grandkids are coming over later for dinner and I am going to ask them if their school is going to walk. My granddaughter is a very strong leader and despises Trump. I am going to see if she is playing a role in this.

btw - she is in kindergarten.... but its never to early to walk the path of righteousness.

Peer Pressure is a powerful motivator especially to easily duped school children. I can only imagine the bullying that will occur tomorrow for those kids who chose to sit out what is in reality a gun ban rally

"Everytown" funded by Bloomberg's $ Billions, "M.D.A.", "The Brady Campaign" & other gun ban organizations are stooping to the lowest level to inject their political agenda into what is fraudulently touted to be a "Memorial Service" but is in reality a slickly organized, adult driven gun ban rally.

Yes - I understood that. And I hoped by my response you also understood that taking care of ones physical problem does not preclude also trying to take care of another physical problem. This is not an either or binary choice.

Banning a single model of semi-auto weapon is not making a binary decision. It's like raking a single leaf on an October afternoon ... there is effectively no difference from before to after.

Do you think that is a workable solution?

I think it is a solution that would "work" as in, it would reduce gun violence and deaths. But I do not think it is a solution that would "work", as in it is not something that would be possible to do politically and socially. i.e. I think it would be effective, but I have no illusions as to it being feasible.

Funny to watch pandering liberals fawn all over these vacuous know -nothings because they support a left wing cause.
Yes, 18 year olds are knownothings. I was one one once.

who here, over 40 thinks they actually knew something when they were a senior in high school.

I think its interesting that they say people are not mature enough to purchase a gun until they are 21 and then turn around and demand we take the political opinions of someone under 21 as gospel. They are to immature to manage a gun but they are fine to dictate national laws.

I imagine if these kids were protesting for the right to arm themselves at school they would dismiss those as the opinions of children and not something we should take seriously

Its all very transparent

So what do y’all want the NRA to do, you guys aren’t even wanting to know why the FBI and sheriff department didn’t act on all the information they had on this guy, but as normal y’all blame the wrong folks.
Y’all want to change the age to 21, ok are you gonna change the age to go into the military to 21.
It’s all about what the media spoon feeds y’all, use some common sense for a solution.

They want the NRA to stop defending gun rights so only their opinion matters.

Why is that your standard to determine if a law is useful or helpful or just plain needed or not?
Click to expand...
Isn't that the whole reason of why the law was proposed in the first place? To prevent incidents such as this? Or are you admitting that these proposed laws are feel good laws without accomplishing anything?

Laws against robbery and murder do not prevent all robberies and murders. Laws requiring would-be drivers pass tests do not prevent all accidents. Laws about how much acetomenophan do not prevent all cases of death by liver failure from acetomenophan poisoning. Yet we have such laws anyway.

It's because they overall work when enforced. How woukd this law, even if enforced, would've stopped the mass shooting?

I suspect lots of different people who support various gun laws have different reasons for it. The reasons I have may be different than other people who support the same proposal.

And how would this law help?
Click to expand...

It took hundreds of years to develop gun culture in America and its going to take a long time and many different approaches to get out of it. Along the way we need to try many different things - some of which might work and others which might not. But its going to take lots of time and energy and effort and it will be a effort that needs to be evaluated along the way.
 
Keep politics out of public schools.

That is something you will never get the libruls on this board to admit. It's not about the age of the shooter. As some have pointed out, it's common for many parents to buy guns for their responsible children. I had 2 rifles and a 16 gauge pump action shotgun by the time I was 15. I never did anything but hunting or target practice with them, and under adult supervision. The problem with the Parkland shooter was not his age, it was his state of mental illness. That's what needs to be addressed. Anyone who thinks raising the age limit for buying any legal gun to 21 will slow down or stop school shootings is playing emotional poker with themselves.

We all know your motivations. And they all fall strictly along partisan lines.
 
This BS NSW is "voluntary" except that if you plan to opt out of the "voluntary" protest you have to notify the principal in advance, in writing. Why must you attach your name to a voluntary walkout? It sounds like in this mostly democratic area I live in they want to label anyone that is pro gun or at least anti BS at the expense of the kids.

What in the blazes are you talking about? Gun ownership and the right to bear arms has been around since this nation's founding. What exactly are you specifically claiming took 200 years?

And much of what you libruls want to try would run afoul of the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution. You have about as much chance of success against the 2nd amendment as you do your desire to abolish the electoral college over your girl Hillary losing.

Thats because they dont care about the children or mass shootings. Their agenda isnt to save lives. They want to disarm everyone they dont like.

They use these tragedies to incrimentally get closer to their goal. Gun owners have budged plenty on this and have compromised their rights and its still not enough for these people. Now they are weaponizing children because they think it wil shield them from pushback against their unreasonable demands.

Not me i have no problem with blasting the little monters of the left with some hard core reality. If progressives are so afraid of sending their kids to school i have a very easy answer for them. Homeschool them and spend your time being a parent to your children instead of treating school like your personal daycare center.

Now lets talk about what the lefts darling lil monsters are crying about, their safety. Imstead of everyone else sacraficing our freedom to give them a false sense of secuirty, how about they give up their own feedoms instead.

No more book bags allowed
School uniforms and hair cuts
Everyone conforms so nobody is picked on for looking different
Metal dectors to get into the school
No lockers
Subject to random strip searches and drug screens

After all its all i the name of safety. How many of them do you think would be walking out of class to support those things.

The perversion of the Second Amendment by the gun culture.

Nothing but there is lots of partisan overtones when you use a walkout to address gun control more than a memorial. IMO it has become more about politics of gun control than remembering any victims.
