With all this attention being paid them looks like a nerve was hit big time.
There is no quicker way to get a response from me than to try to limit my freedom. When an organized group attempts to steal rights from their fellow citizens I see them as a threat.
But I see that it could be a slippery slope.
The problem is, that's exactly what they're hoping for.
When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.
I don't know. Except that I did agree with the Bump Stock Ban. I'm okay with some better background checks, age restrictions and data base linkage or longer wait times. I don't think they'll start taking guns...that will never happen.
But if they get that, then we better have a huge discussion on mental health and an increase in funding.

That was one of my favorites. Hundreds of thousands of idiots that thought their tweets could change the world.

However, the March For Our Lives movement *is* actually trying to fix the problem. So it seems the phrase is inappropriate in this case.
It's quite appropriate. Marching has absolutely zero effect beyond personal satisfaction and group catharsis.
Can't agree. It got a response from the opposition.
This is kinda funny. This is like the 1st attacking the 2nd.

Protests work. Otherwise why do many folks against them?

In your example, the opposition are law abiding citizens who were not wanting a provocation to respond.
Which means thet were trolled.

That's the purpose of protesting. To garner attention to whatever they are protesting about.
And the Chinese Cultural Revolution even more.

This actually reminds me of Hitler and his Brownshirts.
