Hot damn, something good came out of today. A good friend of mine has a couple son's, the older of which is a 17 year old JROTC high school junior. When it came time for the 'protest' today, he refused to participate and opted to remain at his desk in his third period classroom. Because he refused to comply with school administrators orders to participate, he's been suspended for one day from school. As a response to this suspension, his father (a life NRA member and all around great guy) has opted to take tomorrow afternoon off of work and 'punish' his son with a trip to the range. He also told me that he'd made the decision to go ahead and get him his first AR as an early birthday present. Apparently he communicated all of this to the principal this afternoon when he called her to complain about this BS. Loved that he apparently told her what a crock it was that kids can refuse to participate in the Pledge of Allegience, but they apparently have no right 'not' to participate in a mandated protest. ![]() Well done Kyle. You're a great kid and someone we can all be proud of. I look forward to taking you to the range with me to work out that new AR. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Rip down the American Flag? I am sure anti-American cultures (socialists, communists, etc) will be much more protective of your civil "rights". ![]() "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

My high schooler says there were only a handful of kids that really participated here, most just milled around on their phones or talking, and one kid had a pro 2A sign and he got the most positive response from other students! This was a teacher led "protest" the kids were told to go to. Sick. ![]() | |||

Well, if you don't count the snipers on the roof and in surrounding buildings, the 1,200 rotating SS agents with automatic weapons (not fully semi automatic- the real thing), the radar and laser detection systems, the Marines, NASAMS, and assorted other very interesting defensive bits not on Google, yeah, it's gun free. Unless the kiddies meant to imply that for some magical reason, nobody uninvited shows up there with a gun. But of course, they do. Hence, see above.

Six years ago these students were 9, 10 and 11. What do they know about anything? They're under the care of their family or the State, they haven't established an independent existence, they haven't had children, they haven't started a business, they haven't taken responsibility for anything. You don't have a degree, you haven't finished your courses, you don't know how to read, you can't think, you can't speak, your ill kempt, you don't know how to present yourself. It's not right, in that situation to go out, and tell people how to change the culture. Jordan Peterson, roughly quoted You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

A bunch of the little brats here in Chicago walked out too. Funny, especially with all of the violence here in Chicago being committed by about the same age group as all the little rascals that "protested". They want to stop all of the violence committed with guns here, why don't they just call out their fellow students? ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

poor libs, can't get it right, ever. None of us understand how hard it is to have rules for everyone(else). Can't make me say the pledge of allegiance, but I can make you 'protest'. Can't make me give to a charity but I can make you contribute to a union they don't believe in. I read a line in an article yesterday on this general topic where the writer quoted from A Man for all Seasons, a movie about Sir Thomas Moore in which More says, "If they take from us the right not to speak, then what is there that they cannot take as well." It fits right here, the gestapo bastards will not allow an opinion that does not match theirs. _______________________ | |||

Same thought came to me while watching the Detroit walkout. Also wondered how many illegal guns would have been confiscated during a patdown, a locker search or a home search of the protesters. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

Blame the NRA? How many of those young Chicago thugs and criminals are NRA members? We know the answer = 0; but the little protestors don't want to consider that.... ![]() They don't see how stupid that is? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Principal Removes Student With Sign Saying 'Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People' On Wednesday, a student at a high school in Minnesota joined his classmates who were participating in the National School Walkout and was singled out and removed by his principal for holding a sign that said, "Guns Don’t Kill People, People Kill People." The video was first posted to Facebook by Kenny MacDonald, a student at New Prague High School in New Prague, Minnesota. The short video does not show what took place before or after the principal singled-out the student. In the post, MacDonald provided the following account of what took place: Kids at our school today walked out, in honor of the 17 students killed in Florida. Students held signs that said, “Arm our teachers” they had two signs. A student walked out without saying a word peacefully put up his sign which said “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” he was escorted off the property by our principal and threatened to be put into a police car. This violates the first amendment and makes me sick that they can do whatever they want. Please make this go viral Within a few hours, the video had already been viewed nearly 300,000 times, shared over 17,000 times, and received thousands of comments from people who expressed anger and disgust over the suppression of free speech and political indoctrination at public schools.

My thoughts on this are quite simple: Ignorance deserves no exaltation. It demands realization, education, and elimination. Applicable to everyone and everything in life, including the misguided and misinformed students participating in this. The reports of students being coerced and shamed into participating and even punished for refusing or being pro rights are disgusting and require strong follow up and action against the perpetrators and facilitators.This message has been edited.

Now in Florida![]() |
I remember when I was a freshman in college, I was approached by some reps from a marketing firm who were looking for student leaders to join a group advocating for high-speed rail between major Texas cities. I had no idea if that was a good idea or not. I had no knowledge of any of the complex issues involved, but I was excited that I was being recognized as an "important person" and treated as such by these adults with "important jobs". So I agreed to join and followed the instructions I was provided for how to advocate for high speed rail. They supplied articles that we could sign and send to local papers, letters we could sign and send to politicians, posters we could put up on campus, etc. We had a cool sounding name-"Future Alternatives for Safer Tranportation (FAST)". I got to meet other "important adults," and they talked to me, so obviously they recognized my brilliance and the valuable contributions I could make to the cause. It's the same thing with the kids today advocating for gun control. The left is using them, and they are just excited to be treated as "equals" by some adults who bill themselves as experts. One day, the smart ones will realize that they had nothing really to offer, that they were used and that the adults really didn't value them for their knowledge, experiences or anything else. They were only useful as human shields, used to allow the left to attack their enemies while hoping to that people on the other side won't attack the children in return. The not-so-smart ones will become community organizers and politicians. | |||
