NRA to appear at CNN town hall with Parkland students

[davsco]

all i can say is get out and vote, and make sure your family and friends do as well. a lot of energized antigunners coming of age.

The entire crowd cheered at banning semi automatic rifles. Thank goodness no one watches CNN. It was just a gun grabbing fest, and all able to be fomented because of what demographic and social sphere was affected.

The entire audience wanted a complete ban on all guns.

Plenty of snippets to be shared with the other Leftist media tomorrow.

Time to explain to the country that what they've learned in school about history, the Bill of Rights, and how it came about is all wrong.

Geez. The Russians! have had more impact on us and for a longer time than anyone realized.

And the silencing of anyone who disagrees.

I'd love to see some polling data on this issue. That would be very helpful to see if this is something that will burn out or something that will take hold.

And do what is below these words. Take the fight to the enemy via social media. We can't let them be the only voice heard in their preferred medium of communication.

I will say this. From the signs I'm seeing coming from the mass media I would be more concerned about massive gun control being implemented right now than at any other time in my life, and I'm 52 years old. While I don't believe in grand conspiracies of the mass media working to enslave us all like in that They Live movie, I do think to a large extent the TV news and mass media do carry the water for the political establishment. And what they're signaling on both sides of the aisle right now in the news is gun control, and doing everything they can to promote it and make it palatable to the American people. I don't think it's going to happen all at once but I think you're going to see the start of a real erosion of the 2A now. As they start raising the age for semi auto rifles and start banning accessories. Today it's only bump stocks, tomorrow it will be night vision or 30 mm optics or forward grips on an AR. You name it.

This is why I don't like the bump stock ban. While I personally could care less about owning a bumpfire stock as I think they're one of the most idiotic and useless accessories ever invented for firearms, I do realize that it's the same slippery slope that further gun control depends on.

He who laughs last.... as they say..

He may be too late, lol
Rubio sounded like it is a done deal federally.

We need to fight back. I am sorry that these teens had a bad experience but that does not give them or their handlers the right to disarm us. Everyone should be donating to the NRA right now. We need more lawsuits and lobbying right now more than ever

What I don't get is all this nonsense they now want to be guaranteed this will never happen again. Not a damn reality check from anyone, that is not even possible. They need to examine that possible doesn't equate to probable. What happened was bad but honestly it has now devolved in to some kind of entitlement now that the Feds must guarantee safety? Crimes like these are handled much better locally, and as Loesch tried to explain that Ball keeps getting dropped. The entire mantra is just an excuse to ban firearms.

In addition to playing defense, blame needs to be assigned to appropriate parties. Dana realized this. The NRA put out a detailed plan years ago to make schools safer. Did this school implement any of these recommendations? How did the Sheriff's department not move to have this nut job institutionalized based on the totality of complaints they received on him and their interactions with him? Playing defense alone is a losing proposition, and it lets the antis carry on the debate under their terms.

I love that the NRA is saying it, but is anyone listening? Or are they just going to get a free pass?

I skimmed through it. What a s*** show.

This is why these discussions can't take place so soon after an incident. Way too emotional and irrational.

Headline on Drudge

Shooting Survivor: CNN Gave Me "Scripted Question" After Denying Question About Armed Guards

"Colton wrote questions about school safety, suggested using veterans as armed school security guards but claims CNN wanted him to ask a scripted question instead so he decided not to go," Stanwood reported.

"CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Haab said. "I don't think that it's going get anything accomplished. It's not gonna ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have."

If you don't want to believe that CNN hires 'crisis actors', maybe you'll believe Colton Haab

I agree. I got thru about 10 minutes of it before I had to switch back to the Winter Olympics. Dana was great. That Sheriff was an idiot, pandering to the crowd.

Same here, i could only stomach a few mins.

The kids are good speakers and well coached.

Perhaps we need to get some on our side to send their message. Individuals who hunt, or are members of their shooting clubs, etc.

I think of the 13 yr old girl who testified in MD, she was very effective. (i think she was 13ish)

 

[eruby]

That's what a Bumpstocks Ban will do (lead to a semi auto ban), but people are too dense to admit it.

100% right my friend.

Over 250 posts in this thread I did not read, but NONE will be more correct than this.

First, they came for the bumpstocks .........

Unfortunately, it is the MSM that controls the narrative and is giving the platform to those that toe their idealogical lines. Anyone with a dissenting view will be pushed to the curb and not heard.

When the vast majority, if not all cheered when banning all semi-auto rifles was proffered, my heart actually sank. I was thinking , wtf power are you people willing to give Government over you? Out of their minds.
