I didn't know that you had to be a certain age to exercise your first amendment right - could you give me a link to that SCOTUS decision?

Have you never heard Wayne LaPierre and Dana Loesch speak? That's ALL they do is sow discord and spread fear. They are fear and propaganda mongers whose sole purpose is to help drive up sales of guns and they do just that every time they open their mouths. NRA members are useful tools for the gun industry, nothing more. They don't pay LaPierre a million dollars a year if he wasn't the top salesman of guns and ammo.

No I've never heard them speak. I don't really care that I never had heard them speak, either.

They aren't Ma and Pa Usefulidiot from Hicksville, Nowhere. They work for the NRA and receive a regular paycheck from them. They are obviously fine with working for the NRA, they are adults, it's their decision.

It still doesn't prove how the NRA is using average members, adults and children, most importantly the kids.
Actually, as far as the adults being used, if an adult wants to be used then it's their problem.
It's about how the NRA is using the kids that I really want to know about.

How does the NRA use the members who are kids?
Are they forcing kids, who are NRA members, to buy and use guns?
Do they make kids, who are NRA members, travel across the country giving speeches?

Are those kids models, who, they and their parents, are using the NRA for modeling careers? In the ones that show their names, is that truly their name or is it a stage name, because they are models? Are they NRA members?
Or, are they just average kids, like Hogg?



(I really don't have much of a problem with child actors and models, I may not really like it but it is, and has been, acceptable to the masses. If anything, their own parents are the ones to point fingers at.)

When I had posted the prior comment I had thought to say, no child models/actors, but I figured people were smart enough to discount them. After all, with child actors/models, who is using who? The kids, and their parents, are going after modeling/acting careers, and the money that comes with it, and they are using the companies to try to achieve it.

Nope. That’s ridiculous and Unconstitutional.

Because those that support him, and his language he uses, blow it off as he is a kid, child, or teen. Yet you complain about how trump or any other adult speaks.

So, when he turn 18, which way are you going? Will you then brow beat him because of the way he talks or will you just blow it off? Do you agree with what he said about his parents?

He can say what ever he wants, and I've said it before in this thread, he needs to learn how to articulate how he speaks....curse this, curse that (insert what ever curse word you want, if I Put anything else)....is not the way to speak to prove a point.
