I think they're freaking out because there is mobilization finally occurring on a scale not yet seen.
To invoke Godwyn's law on a freaking victim...
...of a school shooting takes a real special mind......
I'm half expecting some folks in this thread to come out in support of the Parkland shooter for exercising his 2nd amendment rights....

This is a false equivalent, because you're comparing something that actually happened to an (unsubstantiated) crackpot conspiracy theory.

Everything isn't fine. But, yeah, this kid isn't who we should be worrying about.

(He) may not have a choice, if by the end of the year, we have too many more of these incidents, and Congress itself is tasked with doing so, because the public cries out for its freedoms to be liberated.

The result of such an action would be catastrophic for our nation.
Its just not gonna happen without bloodshed. Its not the sane folks like the guys here in this thread that need to be worried about. Its the folks holed up in mountaintop bunkers in the country. They are already there, waiting for the coming apocalypse.

All I am detecting from this thread, and other similar threads, is fear. Fear that your "natural order" might be coming to and end. Fear that people like you will no longer dictate how the rest of the country acts. Fear that your carefully crafted lies are finally unravelling.
Would you be concerned if censorship was on the rise?
Just curious.
Because Americans see the 2nd Amendment as a right. A Constitutionally guaranteed right.
And we have people that are trying to remove/restrict that right.
Is it only gun rights that you seem okay with destroying? How about the rights to free expression?
Would you be okay with that right being gone as well?
You first have to be alive for the 2nd Amendment to mean anything.
That's what the kids are concerned about.
Does the 2nd trump the right to live?
No, because the 2nd does not give the right to kill people outside defence. It certainly does trump the right to live if that life is trying to end yours.
Wrong application.
Your right to live trumps the right to live of someone trying to kill you.
This actually illustrates exactly why we have a right to bear arms. Well done.
What do you think those children protesting are trying to do, by the way?
They can't legally keep and bear arms in schools to defend themselves.
They're trying to get semi-auto rifles and standard capacity magazines banned, which will do nothing to stop school shootings. I'm not proposing arming the students. Not in high schools anyway.
Oh, I forgot they also want background checks expanded to gun shows and private transfers, despite not being able to provide one example of a mass shooter who acquired a gun from either of those sources.
Care to provide a citation for this,
Or are you just making this up to make yourself feel better?
Are you honestly unaware of what they were marching for?
The 3 things I mentioned are literally the 3 things they want you to sign their petition for.
You represent the gun control movement well. Uninformed is the only way to be over there.
From your link:
We support the right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms, as set forth in the United States Constitution
Again, does it make you guys feel better to make things up and call everyone Hitler?
Another poster said it well, I used to come here for conspiracies, now I come here for comedy.
I'm not a gun control advocate, but you can project whatever biases on me you'd like.

They're not gonna be happy until the whole US is like California or Chicago. No thanks.

I would be more afraid of the GOP. It was Bolton who fudged intelligence to the US into war with Iraq and Afghanistan and now he's back
You honestly fear this little chump more than Bolton, you got problems...Republican delusions are so persistent in this forum, I wish you all the best drugs.

This is on par with calling this Hogg kid Hitler, just on the opposite end of the spectrum. Congrats.

No, its on par with a group who equates a kid with Hitler (or Goebbels). Its a call out to the inanity of the OP's original message. Attempting to deflect this does not change that fact.
