Make plans to provide a show of force to the Left-sponsored Teen Spirit Anti-gun March in Washington.
Be there. It should be a good time.

Six of my nieces and nephews will be there. I am very proud of them for doing this. Maybe they can do what their older generations have failed. Less guns...good idea.

I would take it more seriously if they had it under Obama, but this just seems like a continuation of "anti-Trump" marches that keep coming.

At that, violence is still lower than in the 80's and 70's, and has been declining since the early 90's.

The clueless kids are shills for the Leftist gun-grabbers that are funding this circus.

Their concern for school safety is noble, but their public stance is misplaced.

We can hope there is a sizeable and visible opposition to this gun-control rally.

See you there!

In the 80`s and the 70`s people weren`t as weary of this madness as they are now. The focus is now on schools but what about the church shoot-ups, concerts, movie theaters, etc.? We shouldn`t be normalizing this form of terrorism IMO. Good grief, let Obama go for goodness sakes.

Unfortunately I have a commitment and couldn't go to DC this weekend. I'll be attending a march at a local college.

I know many people attending in NY and DC. Hoping for a good turnout :-)

I read, Parkland students are pissed that they're only allowed clear see-through backpacks from now on.. One student tweeted "I now have to let someone borrow a pencil because they can see in my backpack". Another student tweeted "Clear backpacks, metal detectors and arm guards wont keep us safe, only gun control" . Yeah, tell secret service, airports and banks that, SMH.

IMO, these protests wanting to ban/disarm Americans wont amount to anything - its equivalent to white supremacists going to DC pretesting to bring back slavery. Just ridiculous. But whatever.

Nothing’s gonna happen at the federal level.

If the mass shooting of 6 years olds did nothing to change gun laws, this won’t either.

Maybe if we start having mass shootings every week. Right now we are getting them every 6 months on average.

Since these are the people whose lives are more and more at stake, don't you think they should have voice in the process to fix the problem?

Are these PO’d and whining students the same ones who contributed to the shooting by bullying and tormenting the shooter?
