David Hogg's ready for another major rally -- getting students nationwide to sign up for his political activism club.
We're told David and the March for Our Lives leaders will be launching a new platform for students to create school clubs and engage them in political activism. Here's how it'll go down -- students will be able to go on the MFOL's website and create a club for their school anywhere in the good ol' US of A.
From there ... students get support and help with:
-- Letter-writing campaigns to lawmakers
-- Hosting town halls
-- Planning future marches (like March for Our Lives)
-- Starting voter registration drives
-- Supporting candidates who support the MFOL mission (either Democrat or Republican)
There already is restrictions. If people had not bent over backwards to do things to keep kids from having a record then it is not the NRA's fault. The cops were called to the home 39 times, that is at least 36 times too many for the shooter to not have it on his record. Many things such as that had happened and were ignored, simply because of that dimwitted program of making sure kids are not responsible for their actions.
About these "39 times the cops were called to the home", you suggest that any calls over 3 should preclude someone from being able to own a gun, right? So what happens if you marry a nut job who calls the police and claims domestic abuse two or three times a week, or if you have a neighbor who makes repeated baseless accusations that you are trespassing or destroying their property? That approach gets complicated very quickly
As far as Obama's advisory on school discipline, that was never mandatory for any school district to participate in and Broward formulated their own policy, it lists a number of misdemeanors for which students will not be arrested, I don't see anything related to threats of violence or any of the behaviors that Cruz exhibited while a student, https://www.browardprevention.org/wp...-Agreement.pdf The intent was to stop the school to prison pipeline which has been a problem for a long time. Maybe Broward County took it too far, but again I would need to know the kinds of interactions Cruz had with the school that would have otherwise resulted in his arrest.
The one thing that would have kept Cruz from acquiring that weapon would have been a law limiting gun purchases to people who are 21 or older.
Good for him. While the adults spend their time posturing and talking and doing little else, he is moving forward. This is why the NRA and it's adherents should be afraid. Hogg, it seems, is about action, not endless talk that accomplishes nothing.
I'm happy to see such an activist generation coming to the fore. We as a country have been complacent for far too long.
I usually agree with Maher, but he got that one wrong. The problem is that he himself pokes fun at political figures all the time and supporting Hogg's call for a boycott of sponsors sets a dangerous precedent to his own livelyhood. Eliot Spitzer made him look silly and the audience approved.

I did not suggest that, I said "too many for the shooter to not have it on his record" .. once it's on his record it's up to the authorities to decide, not me or you.

Overboard much?

Well now, that didn't program work out so well, did it. Pretty sad that they could not think something like the shooting could happen, when they baby people instead of making them responsible for their own actions.
