And that is why they are going to get what they want. They know how to use the media, both conventional and social. they are attractive, articulate, knowledgeable, and driven by passion for what they believe. I have yet to see one of them hesitate while on camera before answering a question. They can also speak extemporaneously with more poise than most adults. The Parkland Survivors are a force to be reckoned with.

My son is 19, my daughter is 17. Both grew up in a hunting household. We eat more wild game than any other source.

They are anti NRA and want to see laws and regs tightened. And military born weapons banned from civilian use.

They are both articulate and very smart- both AP honors and my son on full tuition paid scholarship.

These kids are a force to be reckoned with. I'm proud of them.

Absolutely. I was shocked that governor Scott, a republican, went against the NRA though. He wants to raise the age limit on buying guns. He's also against arming teachers.

I joined a couple days ago (one year).

It was a great deal.

A mere $30 got me a pocket knife, a magazine subscription and Second Amendment advocacy.

Thanks for letting us know.

So, is the US the only advanced country with mentally ill people? Is it the only country in the world with unnecessary pharmaceutical usage?

Personally, i disagree with funneling $$$ to politicians merely because they pay lip service to the 2nd Amendment while otherwise they may be be complete idiots.

The Second Amendment is found in the Constitution.

The assumed powers that the SC operates under are not found in the Constitution.

As for politicians, they can either support the Second Amendment or lose to someone that does.

I used to be a member.

Hope you didn't give them your main e-mail or phone#. If so, get ready for endless donation requests.

After losing the Civil War Democrats like Nathan Bedford Forest, a Confederate General, started the KKK to continue to harass Blacks.

September 28 1868 a mob of Democrats massacred 300 Black Republicans in Opelousas Louisiana.

1871 two Republican Yankee Union Civil War Generals started the NRA at the Creed Farm on Long Island New York.

The unstated but common knowledge of the NRA was it was established to assist Blacks to defend themselves from murdering Democrats.

NRA granted many Black's NRA Chapters including Civil Rights icon Robert F. Williams in 1957.

World War II Marine veteran William's formed the very successful Black Armed Guard defending Blacks from murdering Democrats, as he described in his book "Negro's With Guns".

The parties traded platforms over time. What you're attributing to the democrats now belongs to the republicans and vice versa. Democrats and Republicans Switched Platforms - Fact or Myth?
