Do you think this past weekend anti-gun protests will sway people to vote in the November elections for more anti-gun politicians? I personally don’t want a bunch of 15-16 year old kids that have no real life experiences that are manipulated by radical teachers and politicians to sway my way of thinking. Will pro-gunners stay at home or come out and vote for their candidate.

The protests were really not very big....it was exaggerated by 'media'....the woman's march in dc a year ago had more than double the numbers.

It really comes down to saying no to any gun ban. If enough folks say no what are they going to do?

Just Say No.

I hate to say this but the more attention that is given to the issue the more the likelihood is of some other demented individual to commit mayhem in order to make a name for himself. This, of course, will only worsten the issue. This is just my opinion and I can only hope there will be increased support for the 2nd amendment just as there no doubt will be against it.

People will be afraid to ask them tough questions for fear of being seen as non sympathetic to them and earn a negative label even if it's honest question.

Politicians will pander to the votes not the beliefs they have, many already have bought into the BS and they need to go this next round. The next election will be the deciding factor for the 2nd amendment even more then the last one. IMO

Unless they come up with a point of problem solution anything they do will be pointless just more regulations on the honest person.

The Australian gun ban was voted in and into effect in a short time frame....went from 0 to light speed in a few weeks.

Our problem is not just the young but the incoming immigrants not knowing anything about our history of our country.

Well our fed gov obviously doesn't work at the pace of the Aussies lol.

Well they should know enough to know that they're fleeing a bad situation, and coming here for a better life. They should know enough to know they DON'T want it to be run like where they came from.

Couple weeks ago that same age bracket of kids were eating Tide pods, now they're wanting to battle the gun owners and the NRA. The media is sensationalizing this mess like they do everything else. They keep plastering the little shaved head bi sexual girl all over the place and trying to "take a stand".

Support the NRA people, support the NRA. Yea they send you junk mail but get over it and do your part.

But, so many of them are airheads. They want to change this country to be more like the country they just came from. Plus, many have come over here with no intention of assimilating.

They have certainly changed my mind. I decided I am no longer going to remain non political even if my business could suffer because of it. I have decided I will now engage more to try and teach a younger generation that having a gun doesnt make you a man or give you power but it is rather a tool a tool that can be used by good men to protect those who they love. These protest have made me realize how lost this younger generation of men is, they are allowing themselves to be led by a bi sexual butch girl that is shameful for any man but has to be completely emasculating for this young generation. We must engage with the young generation of men and teach them what it is to be a man because I see them living vicariously through video games and going mad with depression. I am also gonna re up my NRA membership they have changed my mind about that as well.

Unfortunately many people that know nothing or have no dog in the fight will jump on the bandwagon the way the MSM is laying out for them they are selling it anyway they can as the thing to get behind! How long do they think the 1st amendment will last after they screw with the second. IDIOTS

Outfit All Those Protesters With A Flack Jacket And A Pail Of Rocks,

And Send Them Back To Class !!

From what i had seen somewhere one of the brats had end up say that the back packs they need to use since that you can see what ever is in it is in vilation of there consitution rights. Sorry for the spelling. I find that funny since they want to do away with it. Also at that same school of the shooting there was some pull for have a knife on them and one girl pull one out when have it out with someone.

Here the news played up a clip from a young girl yelling out that all SEMI AUTO guns need to be banned. Kids or not this should be very alarming.

Having a lobbyist group hijack the pro-gun side of the debate has done more harm than good.

If you want to head off gun control, start NOW, not when the laws are passed. Get the email address you need for your area of your reps and senators put them in your email address book. Let them know how you feel.JMO

I found the protests very stimulating. Stimulated me to re-up my NRA membership for three years rather than my usual annual membership.

Went to get a physical today and the nurse practitioner asked if I thought there should be a mental test to purchase a gun. I said well if your mother died and you went to the doctor to get something for depression should you be able to purchase a gun? Told her nobody wants a psyco getting a gun the only problem is who decides if someone is mentally competent or not. Wished I would have mentioned drugs supplied by doctors that have unwanted side effects like depression. Wonder if she would have thought that person should be able to purchase a firearm.

Maybe a mental test for folks who do not want a gun to protect themselves?

What these protesters do is point out is the nearly endless supply of new little democrats recruiting to the voting ranks every year. Many of them will eventually mature into rational Conservatives after they have been exposed to real world experiences of holding down a job, supporting a family, making house payments and paying taxes, etc., but it is a continuous battle to maintain a voter base with enough rational thinking adults to balance those who let emotions drive decisions.

Ain't that the truth. The Million Moron March has got folks talking though.

Gun Rights Rally:

The second amendment isn’t just about guns. It’s about supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression and the civic duty to act in defense of our families and our communities.

Self-defense is indeed at the core of the Second Amendment and an element in the Founders’ political thought generally. At the same time it is important to realize that the Founding Fathers’ view of self protection was not only more favorable but also more inclusive than the concept as disfavored by many modern thinkers. To the Founders and their intellectual progenitors, being prepared for self-defense was a moral imperative as well as a pragmatic necessity; moreover, its pragmatic value lay less in repelling usurpation than in deterring it before it occurred.

Modern thinkers feel the need to strip away our natural born right to self-protection by limiting the available weapons that are at our disposal. They blame mental illness without documentation. They blame everything except the sole responsible party, the person involved in the action.
With the support of thousands of American Patriots across this great country, we will assemble at every state capitol at 1pm CDT on Saturday April 14, 2018 to show our support for our 2nd Amendment rights and to support our Constitution as a whole. Please help support us to defend and educate about our founding documents and honor our Forefathers who sacrificed and dedicated so much for us to have the freedoms we do today!

It actually fell far short of a million.....200,000.

Good post. Should be able to Google your State legislatures and then be able to navigate through to find your districts
and reps for each.Take the time to engage them through email or phone calls.Make your position known.

That's the plan.

It is MUCH harder to repeal a law once it has become law than
to prevent it from becoming law! This is NOT JUST MY OPONION it is a fact!

They where protesting to loose there right to owne a firearm. Unreal to protest to loose a right. Only in America. We must keep up the good fight. For they walk among us.

Minds are changing some to a lot, laws are changing little to none and thus there will be a large separation in the society as to what is wanted versus what is had.
That is the good thing about a democracy is that many laws can change quite slowly even in the face of strong public opinion. The bad part about democracy is when the demographic changes and the sentiments come together changes that come won't be small or slow, they will be significant and quick. That may take 20-40 years, or we could decide to move more slowly on issues such as firearms and a whole host of other domestic and foreign issues. The advantage of slow change is that most of us over 55 won't be around to see the real impacts. The not so good thing for those that are counter our current society and are under 55 they will see and feel a lot of change.

Just the mentality if they don't have one we don't need one!

Yup. I didnt think I needed another AR. They made me decide to buy another in case one day I can't. They also made me change my mind and decide I wasn't giving enough to the NRA.

Check out Corrinne mosher on u tube she has a speech about the 2 amendment it is awesome, if I knew how to link it I would but I don't.

^here ya go:

I like to think when I witness change it will be on my terms!,..of course that's just my opinion!

You paint a dismal future Bryce!

Thank you Marty.

That young lady did a SUPER job of explanation.

I am passing that along.

I think so too. If they would never name these shooters, it might discourage some of these half-brained idiots. Or, if they would televise the consequences of their actions months and even years later. To be cut off from society and living in isolation forever, with no hope, should be a deterrent to any person with even a little sanity.

Dismal depends upon what you are for or want. For those that want a rural setting with lots of freedoms and younger generations thinking like they do the future could look dismal. If one is willing to look at how things can be resolved instead of won or lost it may not be so dismal. The reality is that there are millions if not hundreds of millions already alive in the USA who we condemn regularly because they don't follow exactly our thought process and we ridicule their behavior and their principles so waiting for them to make huge swings in who they identify with is probably wishful thinking on our part.

Now this is Arkansas not some liberal northeast or west coast state. I saw a sign in someones yard toady on the outskirts of town that said Ban Assault Rifles. You don't see signs like that much in this country, most here own a gun.

She nailed it!

This country is ate up with idiots that vote. One election they vote conservative and the next election they jump over the fence and vote for a socialist. So who knows, only thing for sure there is a pile of confuse folks in this country now days that are more then willing to give up our Constitution. More so if some politician make a promise to give them something free.

The reason being is people are desperate. They want change as the direction we are headed everyone knows is wrong.

The candidates we have for a choice today are not worthy of the position. Politicians quit caring about tax payers long ago and they all have their personal agendas.

Democracy works but it needs to have better people in place for it to stay a democracy.

Our two major parties are more focused on destroying each other than do what's right for us.

Your last sentence couldn't be more correct.

Sounds like donations to the NRA are way up so maybe people are waking up a bit, well most!

Withdraw your support.

I wished it was that easy Finn.

I do believe it's time we attack the media for their lopsided reporting. They have to much influence and they abuse it daily

Things ever get crazy and civil war breaks out I'd hate to be a report, entertainer or politician without a gun times could get tough! LOL

The media only sells what it's customers want to hear. There is about as much 'ethics' in media as there is in government. The difference is you can vote and it matters in media. Turn the t.v off. Government is a different matter, as the two party duopoly has a death grip on the emotions of 95% of America. Fear keeps people clinging to what is familiar, and ridiculing new or different ideas. If one admits that the two parties are rotten to their core, but does not vote differently, well, there isn't much that can be done.

See a lot of teachers look the other way back in the day everyone knew but they hoped the kids did not know!

So true Law Dog

I bet a lot of those protesters are the ones that bullied

I think that the inconvenient truth is that there are less Young folks participating in hunting or trapping. This gives the libtards a stronger platform to deceive people. Gosh that sounds bad for us and we can't remain silent. They sure aren't.

J Staton,
LIBTARDS are everywhere these days. No matter how conservative or rural area you live in they are there. I believe that social media and liberal colleges has greatly helped the LIBTARDS to somewhat breed and spread their ignorance.
There is a lot of swamp to be drained.
Pray that our "Real American" leaders can get the job done.

Young people don't see the world like we all do.

They live staring at a box. Their whole life evolves around electronics. They are out of touch with nature.

Amen to that. I make sure my grand daughters get outdoors. One is becoming a trapper. The cell phones and kindles stay home when we go out. I have one iPhone in case of emergency.
