Tell me why we don't see crying white moms on TV after each terrorist massacre?

The media has the agenda to disarm the populace. To pretend they don't is gross, vile and disgusting to say the least.

Very simply. We all have the right to protect our own life and the life of our loved ones, against monsters who shoot up schools and against a tyrannical government.

The arms we keep and bear are the best tools to accomplish that.

How about we focus on not letting the nutcases have access to firearms but not disarming every law abiding citizens? That's common sense, no?

She represents a gross side of the debate, so her comments here are not surprising.

I always find the defend against tyrannical government defense silly.

If the fed's were to go crazy, you'd be using your weapons to fight against drones, tanks, helicopters, missiles, etc.. Not sure how that'll end but I think it's pretty obvious.

This has been asked over and over since Parkland. Liberals are not interested in it. Just watching the Town Hall on CNN last night made that crystal clear.

She represents the side of reason, not the side of the mentally ill.

Wow, really? Are you that blind? They interview crying "white" moms and dads after the massacre but I guess that doesn't fit your agenda. Talk about a gross, vile, and disgusting thing to say.

She is the bad guy -- because she's doing exactly what she is accusing them of doing.

She is claiming some moral high ground while using the tragedy to vilify the media so that y'all don't trust anything they say or do.

It's a stupid game and it implies we are all stupid and we aren't.

We see what she is doing.

She would have been better to not even bring up the media. Just deal with the issues.
