Of course its easy for the mainstream media like CNN to provoke and instigate the kind of activism by the students at Stoneman Douglas High. South Florida is and has always been a very liberal area filled with northern transplants and illegal immigrants and its not hard to find gun grabbers there. The media is whipping this up to push their liberal agenda.

Yet we never hear about the survivors of the country music shooting in Las Vegas or the Texas church shooting which happened with more conservative demographics. The liberal media picks and chooses what to cover and only tells the stories that fits their own agenda.

Isn't that the truth. If it wasn't for conservative news sites mostly online, we'd be completely misinformed. Of course liberal, progressives are trying and to a degree are controlling what information is viewable on the internet.

Yeah I would think being a survivor might make one more likely to want to learn how to use and own a firearm in order to defend themselves if someone like that happens to them again.

Are illegal immigrants necessarily anti gun though ?

High school students are generally pretty liberal

I’m sure there are quite a few Dems that must own guns too . But the media never shares their stories .

Yeah a good example is Twitter , run by liberals . They are notorious for silencing people like Milo and others.

All of Silicon Valley is pretty much run by liberals . Zuckerberg ,

Peter Thiel recently moved because of this supposedly .. but it’s funny he would move to L.A since it’s overrun with liberals too .. but maybe not as bad ..

And Fox News, Brietbart, The Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, etc, can tell those stories. You guys have plenty of your own media sources - -are they writing about it?

Yep exactly. And not just tech companies but many corporations are acting liberal progressive nowadays. Look how many put pressure on the NRA.

Then the right is dropping the ball. Write your own stories about Dad having his kid's head blown up but still loving his AR 15. The NRA might give him a free year the next time dues are due.

Yeah most corporations just fold so easy , all about the bottom line for most of them though .

Sometimes they try to appeal to the SJW crowd and it backfires.. like that Pepsi ad with Kendall Jenner.

If someone’s loved one is killed by a car , do they get rid of their cars ?
