What I see here is a turn of events for this country - the younger generation perceives the hunger games is possibly their future. Yes they are smarter-absolutely- out think us all at warp speeds. The old timers traditions no longer fit - they may sell all the guns today - in time, these young people will rule. They are sick, but really sick of us and our fear, hatred and bogus explanations. I applaud them. You won’t outlive them so eventually they will win. I hope sooner than later. Go vote little ones. Go vote

Come back with a more credible source and we will have something to talk about.
Tucker Carlson is part founder/ owner of Daily Caller. He has a thing about David Hogg.

These rags first put forth that Hogg was a crisis actor- not a student. Some put forth that his father was a part of the FBI team that ignored reports about Cruz. Some of these rags claim his mother works for CNN.

BS is easier to sell than the truth.

Both of his parents were school teachers. They used to live in California. His father is a former FBI Agent now retired due to Parkinson’s Disease. Mother is still a school teacher and has never been affiliated with CNN.
Several years ago they took a paid tour of CNN designed for aspiring young journalists. As a part of the tour, David and his sister had their photo taken sitting behind a CNN News Desk. Mother posted it on Social Media.

Facts don’t matter.

No matter what side of the gun control issue you're on, you would literally have to be insane to not see the idiocy of letting teenagers dictate policy. There is no debate here. As sure as the sun is hot and water is wet, teenagers have NEVER been considered a credible source for shaping public policy.
Who is the "voice of reason" in your opinion? The NRA?

Most of the survivors and families of those murdered on 10/1/17 in Las Vegas are engaged in individual and class action suits against MGM.

Many have been harassed by conspiracy theorists claiming the whole thing was a false flag perpetuated by deep state.

Maybe we should stick to slander on just one thread, mkay?

You have no business hypocritically accusing others of propaganda when you do the exact same thing.
I said Emma's speech stunt was also used by Hitler, not that she WAS like Hitler. Speech writers ALL study Hitler's orations...not because they believe in Hitler's philosophies, but because Hitler's oratory skills were so frighteningly effective.

Nobody teaches High School kids how to speak like that so who coached or possibly even wrote her speech?

Seriously? That's your idea of a rational discourse - a lame diversion technique? Are you saying there's nothing between hysterical teenagers and the NRA?

Respond to my post when you have something useful to say.

And yet, you haven't answered the question.

"His sister was killed in Parkland but he wasn't allowed to speak at gun march today"

My two cents, they should have let all the students speak.

On Today’s Meet the Nation, he said he was not invited to speak.
