Please substantiate your claim. Did you go door to door of everyone living the U.S. to come up with that statement? Or are you just basing it on the liberal-biased media that thinks their rantings will convince the majority to follow suit? Or the few advertiser's moguls who are afraid of losing their mansions

You should be upset about that also.
We're upset because these slaughters happen over and over and over again, but we are continually told there's nothing to be done for it. We simply must accept the slaughter because the second amendment means everybody and anybody must always have access to weapons of mass destruction, that they can then use to mow down scores of people. Which they continue to do, over and over and over again.

You should be upset about that also. Why aren't you?

And the guys behind the curtains push these kids under the bus when they have no need for them anymore.

I am upset but you are blaming the weapons. You can get rid of the AR-15 style of weapon and there are 1000 other weapons that can be used to do the same amount of killing. What you want is 100% confiscation.

What needs to be looked at is why are these young men going crazy and going on these killing sprees. Why has law enforcement dropped the ball.

The weapons are not the issue. The issue is the people doing the killing. Why are these young men so damaged? Is it mood drugs they are given at an early age? How can they kill so easily?

Guns are not the problem.

Edit: I am one to believe that the big drug companies want to purposely avoid looking at the affects of mood drugs on the brains of these young boys given to then at an early age. It's all about the money.

Nobody wants to ban all firearms, as has been stated here repeatedly. If you still believe that , there is a comprehension problem.

Taking no action, as we have done for the last 20 years at the bidding of the NRA, has accomplished nothing. No matter what is proposed, the NRA crowd is against it. Draw you own conclusions. I certainly have.

I guess some will said NPR don't have bias.

On the other hand, there's some skepticism. News Outlets Ignore Millennials' Skepticism of Gun Control - Hit & Run : Reason.com

And here an archived Reddit comment who was supposed to be posted by David Hogg. davisgreen111 comments on What is a positive reason for mosquitoes to exist?

Yep. He must be doing something right. Nugent raised his old, has-been head, last week to speak up on the matter. Gross.

Now if they start voting using Fakebook,Instagram or Twitter then things will change. I'd expect that demand to show up soon btw...
Yeah - that's SO MUCH harder than speaking in front of a crowd of 800,000 people - something I'll bet you have never done.

Says the person whose party elected the kitty-grabber as President. Right.

You are hitching your wagon to the losing side of this issue, and if you continue to demonize this generation they will remember it for the rest of their voting lives.

But please, by all means, continue...
Actually not the whole country, but better than half, and two-thirds or so on a lot of issues. Certainly enough to make a difference if motivated, though. Hogg is a motivator if he stays the course.
