monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Who do you think make up the ranks of the military and police that would be likely to be asked to disarm the populace?

Activists are demanding the National Rifle Association (NRA) reveal if it received donations from Russia, after it was reported the FBI is investigating whether a Kremlin-linked Moscow businessman channelled money to the group’s campaign to help Donald Trump win the election.

Wow, it sure is easy to denigrate your political opponents.

The 2nd A people are fruitcakes, the lot of them, if they imagine that citizens with guns will do anything significant to protect themselves from a modern state with modern tech and armaments intent on tyranny

This is all great Lash. You don't need to convince me that the kid was messed up. I'm asking you, what LAWS did the kid break that would have allowed the local police, or the FBI to remove his guns from his home?

Being a whack-job is completely legal in America. And especially surrounding guns, there are a lot of whack-jobs.

Police can't put surveillance on this kid for months and months and months without some sort of crime being committed, can they?

You're quite right, and that is as it should be. You can't have your home invaded because some neighbor thinks you're some kind of nut job.

Just because I agree doesn't mean I have a solution. Some people are obviously nuts, but they do have the same rights as everyone else till some court judges them to be incompetent.

I could never in good faith deny you the right to own a firearm. That's in the Bill of Rights, lets move on and figure out how we can avoid being shot by a complete stranger while we are at work, at school or just frigging buying groceries . I'm not giving up my weapons....but do I really have to carry them everywhere?????

On The Last Leg last night, as well as telling us about stripper funerals they came up with a telling little fact. In simulated shoot outs trained NYPD officers could only hit the target 18% of the time.

During the rampage the killer used a weapon capable of shooting through walls. A teacher armed with a handgun would be little to no use against that, when they can't even see the target,

and even if they could get a clear shot their chances of hitting the assailant.are less that 18%. Chances of hitting other kids in the crossfire are much more likely.

Frightened, cowardly little men whose own existence is defined by them having a gun are clutching at straws.

Instead of talking about what actually happened they're engaging in semantics over whether the weapon in question is military, automatic, semi automatic or whatever which entirely misses the point.

There's no legitimate reason, even by lax American standards, for anyone to own such a weapon.

It's not for self defence, hunting or killing vermin like rats,

it's for killing innocents, and that's all it's for.

The argument that a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun presupposes not only that the good guy is quicker on the draw, but also that it’s clear who the bad guy is.

Enabling murderers, that's what.

They pay a lot of money to prevent even basic legal changes that would reduce the murder of innocent people.

They actively fight any improvement in our disastrous murder rate.

Since they pin that A on lawmakers who oppose even the slightest change, a low grade from them should be a badge of honor.

The bloodshed had barely ended in Parkland, Fla., last week when the Gateway Pundit added its own unique take on the students who had quickly become media-friendly gun-control advocates.

“EXPOSED,” read its headline. “School Shooting Survivor Turned Activist David Hogg’s Father in FBI, Appears To Have Been Coached On Anti-Trump Lines.” It later doubled down, asserting — without any evidence to support it — that operatives linked to liberal billionaire George Soros had “selected anti-Trump kids to be the face” of the massacre.

The stories helped spread a debunked conspiracy theory about the students being paid “crisis actors.” This was a few days after the site initially claimed that the suspected shooter was “a registered Democrat.” A few hours later, it realized it had zeroed in on the wrong Nikolas Cruz but soft-pedaled its correction, merely amending its story to say he wasn’t a Democrat, as “some sources had reported” — a group that seemed to include news sites that had cited Gateway Pundit’s story.

Gateway Pundit didn’t stop there. Reporter Lucian Wintrich, who wrote the Parkland stories, took to Twitter to denounce the protesting students as “little pricks.”

The take-no-prisoners approach — not to mention the conspiratorial tone and dubious assertions — has been the trademark of Gateway Pundit since its founding by a former corporate executive named Jim Hoft in 2004...

Ive since learned that California has a law where people can be put on something like a “no-buy” list for 5 years if they demonstrate the range of issues that this kid did. School psychologists are able to add kids to this list.

There is nothing like that federally or in the state of FL.

On the surface it sounds like a law I could get behind.

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson tells Hannity that Hillary Clinton and Christopher Steele are controlled by the Devil
Robertson: "They are getting their instructions from the evil one"

ALEX JONES (HOST): It’s the media hyping up mass shootings that is 100 percent affecting the mental illness of these drug-heads and people. And the sheriff’s department, not just the sheriff that knew the shooting was going on and stood out there for four minutes because it looks like he was a big fat coward. But also the sheriff’s department. And I know [Infowars contributor] Roger Stone’s son’s on the sheriff's department and I’m sure there’s some nice people, but give me a break. Just because he has dinner with the sheriff -- I’m not mad at Roger, I disagree with him.

I think that sheriff is a big Democrat, he’s a big Hillary boot-licker, and they knew it was coming and they all stood down. And the FBI stood down. And now they get to trash the Second Amendment some more. And the sheriff’s department sat there. And that’s what the students told us who have been on the show. They just pulled up in their cars and waited for more backup to get there. I mean I’m not a hero, but I guarantee if somebody’s going around here shooting people or a school I’m going to find them and I’m going to put bullets in them or I’m going to die trying. Instinctive. Instinctive.

How did we become so cowardly? Well, it’s called being a Democrat. It’s called being a sack of garbage. It’s called being a selfish piece of filth. That’s what it’s called.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, a media outlet that also seems to double as a propaganda arm of the Trump administration, Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt said his Christian convictions led him to conclude that America should use gas and coal freely because natural resources exist purely for man's benefit.

"The biblical world view with respect to these issues is that we have a responsibility to manage and cultivate, harvest the natural resources that we've been blessed with to truly bless our fellow mankind," Pruitt told CBN's David Brody.

The NRA’s Plan to “Harden” Schools Is Terrifying
Key recommendations include getting rid of trees as well as windows.

I agree that the FBI, local law enforcement, the parents, and yes-the school, were contributors to the result. They should all be investigated and people should be fired. The adoptive parents should face public censure.

The school suffered the brunt, obviously, no need for more punishment—but we need to learn from their mistakes.

This guy gave every possible sign. Cops were called how many times on this kid?? 20? He shouldn’t have been allowed near guns.

Finn, I wanted to make clear that I only blame the NRA for fighting any small common sense changes in gun law that would decrease gun deaths. If you’ll notice, the changes I propose don’t even outlaw a type of weapon.

I really think keeping assault rifles out of the hands of SSRI users and violent offenders will dramatically reduce gun deaths. The NRA’s foot soldiers in Congress make sure that doesn’t happen. They are more to blame than the FBI et al.
