Is that something you are capable of comprehending?
Guns aren't designed to kill. They're designed to fire a projectile at a target. Some deranged people use guns to kill people, just as some deranged people use cars to kill people.


Automatic weapons are rarely used in crimes and aren't particularly good at "mowing people down". Facts are your friend.

Is that something you are capable of comprehending?

Oh, the irony. The left is currently the biggest bunch of bullies this country has ever witnessed. It' like the Salem witch trials on a nationwide basis.

Exactly, but they will have no problems with that.

Well, if you're really going to push the cockamamie idea that the Parkland survivors are somehow victims of manipulation and exploitation, surely that would make personal attacks on them even more reprehensible.

Sure she shouldn't have said he was whining, even though she was being truthful. Saying it was a hand slap offense, at most a week or so off with no pay. Getting her fired / going after ads is over the top. I really don't care about her, personally, it's the situation that I care about. If firing people for speaking the truth is the 'new normal' then we are in major trouble as a country.

We have wanted the same things since Columbine, but never were able to keep it on top of the news cycles. Thes kids are succeeding where we failed, and we support them wholeheartedly with our voices, our presence, and our money. They are the future of America, and they are going to change the way the country does business.

Too bad I can't give you anymore rep points.

Such a delicate little snowflake, seeing hysteria everywhere you look.

You don't have to watch the show to get that information, all have to do is google it. Also MSNBC had a list of all the advertisers who drop the show, and CNN.

But they have no formula for this, they're kinda winging it.
