NBC/WSJ poll shocker: Majority of Americans say owning a gun increases safety
Quote:
Not only do a majority of Americans think that gun ownership increases safety, that number has been growing. Nineteen years ago, 52% said the opposite. That suggests that the media hysteria surrounding firearms — including its general ignorance in reporting on them — may have actually backfired.
As a plurality of Americans say they back gun-control organizations, the latest NBC/WSJ poll finds the National Rifle Association with its worst net positive-negative score since the 1990s.
Thirty-seven percent of respondents view the NRA positively, while 40 percent see it in a negative light. That’s a noticeable shift from April 2017, when it was 45 percent positive, 33 percent negative.

The NRA does not affect gun ownership, people that want a gun(after background check) get a gun, including criminals. In other words that means squat. The feeling a gun makes you safer is what to take away from this.
Very nice, I am not interested because the longer this is perused those numbers will reverse themselves. When it finally gets across this is no ones fault but the authorities who failed to protect us.

Need proof the #MarchForOurLives protests are ‘not a political issue’? This is NOT it
Quote:
This is according to the organizers of the “March for Our Lives”:
The event is not a political one, organizers claim.
“School safety is not a political issue,” a mission statement on the organization’s website reads. “There cannot be two sides to doing everything in our power to ensure the lives and futures of children who are at risk of dying when they should be learning, playing, and growing.”
Take a look and you will see Tom Perez begging( or should I say self righteously demanding) for votes.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. SUPPORT THE PARKLAND STUDENT SURVIVORS, WHO ARE SOME OF THE SANEST, MOST DETERMINED PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.
A bunch of whiny brats who brought a school shooting on themselves by tormenting someone who was suffering until he snapped, and who now seek to gain advantage from their bullying by pushing to violate America's civil rights for no reason.

Thousands of people are expected to take part in the "March For Our Lives" in Washington DC this weekend. It'll be led by students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, following the gun attack that killed 17 pupils and students in February.
Which of the whiny brats came in first in the contest to see who could fling their rattle the farthest while screaming at the top of their lungs?

The only thing the cartels get from America are FN-57 handguns.
The cartels get their guns mainly from leftist governments in Central and South America

Freedom Haters don't like civil rights organizations.

Emma Gonzalez’s 6 minutes, 20 seconds of silence was a powerful reminder … of deputy’s failure
It sure was. Remember it goes hand in hand with the failure of authorities to act on multiple tips and warnings.
Blaming the NRA is still total bullshit and it will continue to be.

Isn't she the one who tried to justify having ostracized the kid who eventually snapped and lashed out?

I actually tuned out all the childish whining when the news covered it.
Im amazed at how you guys try to observe the people in action in America upside down when you disagree. you have the same rights . You just rather choose yelling at a bulletin board.
Their kind of citizenship takes action and courage, Yours?...Not so much.

I'm not yelling at anyone. Nor am I whining.
And I'm not arguing for violating anyone's rights.

Oh please. What sort of courage does it take for these whiny brats to throw a temper tantrum?
