    It was never about me. I support what I believe in whether it's through marching myself or just offering moral support or maybe something in between.

    So what you are saying is they will not get lost on their way to Seattle? (Or as the NBA calls it "Oklahoma City")

    Call me a pussy and I'd understand why.

    I would NOT let my kids go to these things.

    Too much of a target and you only need one crazy person to cause a disaster.

    I don't mind high schoolers doing their march. At least they're not using it as an excuse to break windows and burn shit. I haven't heard any of them come up with anything constructive, however. They mostly just make broad, generalized statements and demand that someone else do 'something'. That 'something' is still a mystery, though. Most of these kids live in a world where they ask for something and it materializes before them within a matter of days. Complex problems are met with oversimplified demands that are illogical.

    Also, there are alot of pro-gun students from Parkland speaking out. The media has completely blacked them out, however. Meanwhile, junior CNN analyst David Hogg continues to be given the spotlight while he defends the four officers who stood around with their dicks in their hands while his classmates we're being murdered.

    I won't guarantee anything when it comes to kids and directions. My family and I were camping in northern Idaho one year and my son and daughter were driving back in my daughters car. When we were going through Spokane I called my son to see how the trip was going and my son said they just passed Colfax and I said "what?". Realizing they took the wrong exit in Spokane. Anyway they ended up going down the eastern Washington and Idaho border into Lewiston and finally got themselves back on the highway to Portland so no, I am not saying they won;t get lost, lol.

    It's not up to our kids to come up with ideas, it's the lawmakers job. Most of the kids I have heard have been very reasonable and will at least accept some movement in the right direction, but there has been no movement other than Trump showing how easily he can be bought by the NRA. He's simply a two faced liar.

    Quit pretending Donald Trump invented mass shootings. The laws regarding guns have been the same for a long time. Playing willfully ignorant and pretending shootings are a new thing isn't helping anything. At least be honest with yourself and realize that no president since Columbine has done jack shit either. You can't just outlaw guns in a country where all the criminals already have them. Snap your fingers and make all guns disappear then you can go ahead and ban them, deal?

    Next time you watch a western just imagine all the townspeople having no guns when the armed posse rolls through.

    what the fuck are you even talking about? There is no where in any of my posts that suggested I am blaming Trump for mass shootings or suggesting taking away all guns. Get a clue next time. You do understand who the lawmakers are don't you cause your response indicates that you don;t. Do a google search.

    Why don't you elaborate your point instead of getting outraged and tiptoeing around an explanation? You clearly "suggested blame" when you claimed Trump was bought by the NRA and was a liar. Why else would you say that in regards to gun legislation of you weren't assigning blame?
    That's called a metaphor. Taking it literally makes you look silly, not me.

    I don't believe Trump invented mass shootings but I do believe he's perpetuating them.
