It’s a little “out of my way” lol, but I’m SO happy to know about it!

The student who put his back to a door and took 5 shots has taken a turn for the worse. His reps are suing. I can’t imagine this long a wait to find out if your kid is going to make it.
Oh that’s just awful!

I am super pissed off. I’ve been receiving solicitations to buy t-shirts for a March that hasn’t even been organized yet. The individual attempting to sell them may or may not be affiliated with efforts to put something together where I live. A separate email said that the location of the march here was TBA so I’m not putting much faith in that. And those t-shirts are going for about $30. I hate the idea that somebody would exploit this. But I don’t know what else to think. It seems backwards to be selling t-shirts which support the March in Myrtle Beach when no march in Myrtle Beach has actually been announced. I sincerely hope that’s not taking place elsewhere.

Never know…it could very well be a rip-off, or it could be someone who is sincerely overly-enthused that got off to an early start, but I sure wouldn’t buy one att. It’s a challenge to even warn others, under the circumstances.
They are making a combo 2nd and 14th Amendment argument, saying barring 18-21 year olds from buying guns violates equal protection, resulting in age discrimination. Ya know, like how barring alcohol purchase in that age range does the same thing.

The NRA will probably try to sue every state that changes their gun legislation. I cannot imagine that there’s a court that is going to be willing to actively prevent laws designed to protect our kids particularly with the kind of logic you just expressed and in view of public sentiment and the number of deaths that have occurred in the past year. So, let the NRA keep spending their money on frivolous law suits. I just don’t see them getting very far with this. But then, maybe I’m naive.

It’s time to remind the country that “NRA” stands for “Not Relevant Anymore”! That we, the majority of Americans, are tired of the chaos & killing…and for what? So a bunch of [mostly] guys with hyperactive aggression fantasies can play war without actually joining the military to serve our country? Oh puhleeeze…!

I’ll be naive with you, Amy!

I need to apologize. The guy was the real thing. I don’t know that he’s actually a neighbor. He’s also not very organized. Just this weekend, he was asking for people to chair various things - marketing campaign to parents, sign-in, creating posters, etc. - all things that maybe you’d want to have in place less than a week before. I’m going to try and volunteer to help, but my Dad isn’t doing well at all right now and I am housebound with only some help a couple of afternoons a week. So I’ve no idea who this is going to work. We’ll be assembling at a rather large mall, 90% of which is closed. So there’s a huge parking lot with no cars. But it’s on a very busy road so I doubt anybody’s going to be marching. Besides, it’s Can-Am week here. Lots of Canadians come down to play golf during the winter so apparently, we celebrate their presence with a week just devoted to Canadian things. My kid is all excited because he may finally get to try poutine (French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy). It might actually be interesting to talk to a few Canadians and get their perspective on all of this. Who knows, they may be asked to fund their own wall soon.

At the military school he attended they probably didn’t have ammunition. On the gun range only if they did any marksmanship work, but that may not have been the case. They might have drilled with old M-1s, WWII vintage, unloaded.
The military and other schools know you don’t keep ammunition around firearms, it’s the makings of disaster.

I’m impressed with what the youth from Parkland have accomplished, good article in The New Yorker. Some of the photos of the placards being carried made me laugh, I needed the laugh. I loved the “I’ve seen smarter cabinets at IKEA”. This energy needs to be carried into November. My new slogan #TrumpTrump

That might leave room for misinterpretation?

The Parkland teens are learning how nasty politics in the U.S. has become. These teenagers will have some thick skin after this mess.
Wow. I see it’s an uphill battle until that kind of influence-buying is made illegal and terminated.
(BTW it is illegal here.) Are the wealthy American arms dealers also selling the bandages?
Trumptrump refers to the game of bridge of course, basically beat Trump at his own game.

I know, but how many trump supporters will know that? Most would just think “2 trumps are better than one”.

Then there is the thought that more the NRA sticks to their traditional behavior the more it drives the youth away from them, and their parents and grandparents?
