I loved the video of a reporter walking through the crowd of kids asking "So, you want to ban assault weapons right?" YES,YES, YES! Then he asked "what is a assault weapon" and the answers were just precious.
Ummm, ahhh, ummmm.

Yeah, these kids are soooo smart and know way more than any adult does...

Bread and circuses, meanwhile the K-Street lobbyists are popping corks celebrating yesterday's big win.

Yes it will. Legally owned guns are not going anywhere. When criminals follow laws, let me know.

The tide most certainly has turned. Blind denial won't change that.

But you have to understand that the gun whacks know that the odds of this happening to them or to theirs are astonishingly small. Couple that with the reality that they could not care less what happens to someone else, it's no surprise that they are not going to be swayed by that argument. This is like reasoning with a spoiled child; they want their guns with no restrictions or curbs - and by God they are going to have them. At any cost.

So what then--do you want to ban 3D printers?
Against the law to print money at home,with or without a printer. We will have a law against using a 3D printer to make whatever is banned by the law. BTW, your average Joe six-pack cannot afford a 3D printer.

Everyone should take note of how those who try to claim "propaganda" as a way to discredit those they disagree with frequently engage in the same but worse.

See above, this poster immediately tries to equate a teenager who survived a mass school shooting to Hitler and claimed her use of a particular speech tactic was from "Hitler's playbook". This person ignores the fact that people have been using this method of underscoring a point for hundreds of year before and since Hitler used it.

Here is just one example, this one of Benjamin Netanyahu, using the exact same pause (for the same reason btw) in speech. Do we really thing Netanyahu took this from Hitler?

No. This was only portrayed as being a "tactic from Adolph Hitlers playbook" in a dishonest attempt to discredit a teenager.

Shame on you OP. This is exactly the type of false narrative being employed daily in this country. No one should tolerate it.

Once again, preaching ignorance. There is no gun show loophole.
NICS checks are only as good as the individuals entering them
Ex Air Force guy who killed people in Texas. No entering into NICS
Dylan Roof, had a pending Felony, NICS data could have stopped sale of gun
Cruz, NICS had no data because Broward County and the School district felt his crime he committed on campus, by have ammunition there, didnt warrant an arrest. So their Obama/Holder Promise policy failed the kids by not having him arrested and having a NICS database not allowing him to own a gun.
Liberals FAILED, Society failed, not the tool, AR15.

Get real.

That may have worked back in the day when the Redcoats marched in formation and used single shot rifles, but it ain't going to do jack **** against cyberwarfare, drones with missiles, F-16s, ...

If worse comes to worse, there will be sporadic Waco standoffs here and there until Walmart runs out of bullets.
Exactly! There is something now called drones.
