This is a false equivalent, because you're comparing something that actually happened to an (unsubstantiated) crackpot conspiracy theory.
Crackpot conspiracy theory huh?
Did you see the display today?
*Snip* removed pictures to save space
Yes, a school shooting happened.
Yes, law enforcement that failed on every level was not held accountable.
Yes, the fingers are pointed at the NRA.
What do you think the goal of today's March was? Are you gonna insist that it wasn't about demanding more gun control laws that chip away at the 2nd amendment?
You want to know why the NRA is being targeted? They are gun industry lobbyist that have GOP members more scared of going against then even a huge group like AARP. Think about that for a second. AARP which is over 600% larger in membership then the NRA but the NRA is seemingly the one group that the GOP are afraid of going against...
Whose scared of going against the NRA? what are they going to do ? Stop sending money? give me a break.....
Do you want to remove all guns? just answer me that
Why do you assume anyone saying anything critical of the NRA is out to take away all guns? I am a NRA lifetime member and I think they have gone off the rails crazy with all this gun grabbing bull# they keep pushing.
The gun grabbing BS like trying to pass a bill that makes any gun taking a magazine illegal?
LoL really?

This is a troubling development... twitter.com...
Tip: MILLIONS of innocent lives would have been saved if Hitler would have been snuffed-out, when he started exhibiting the type of hatred that David Hogg is now embracing.

For all those who think this kid is the enemy,.. how many of you have been victim to a school shooting? I would like to think surely someone should have the same perspective before passing judgement.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
It does in no way make them the authority on guns or our rights, emotion does not equal knowledge.
I havent been a victim of a school shooting, but I have been in active combat much of my life and shot at more times than I can count. I currently have a fragment from an AK round still in my leg.
Why am I not anti-gun?
Your statement doesnt even make sense.
Your experience in combat is invalid, because these kids aren't trained to fight back, aren't equipped to fight back, and aren't in an environment that any sane person should expect to have to deal with being shot at. Another false equivalent.
Have you ever been in combat? Have you ever been shot?
These kids went through something horrendous, but so have many many others. Many other kids who were in school shootings. They arent calling for a ban.......why is that? Is that because of the shooting or political agenda?
Funny there are quite a few kids from THIS particular shooting who arent for what people like HOGG are promoting, yet arent afforded the same platform and are indeed even excluded from these events.
So you tell me, why arent their voices heard? Are they not important? Are they not victims too?
No, this isnt about the shooting, this isnt about victims, this is about an AGENDA.
If it were not, then those other kids who do not agree with this anti 2nd amendment push, would be invited to speak as well.
Wake up

You know what is also crazy, a minority (gun owners are) of the country getting to dictate that this right not be amended for the times.
All other rights in the constitution have went through some amendments at some point to go with the times but not this one.

Free tip for you, the constitution has a built in mechanism for changing things, go ahead and call a constitutional convention and vote to remove the 2nd then you will see who a minority is.
