Are these child activists just puppets for the anti-gun lobby?

SPC C. Michael Morrison You seem to incorrectly assume I liked Obama. He was a corporate stuge. But trump is an idiot. Plain and simple. That Republican tax plan probably did help you. But it also carpet bombed that hole we can the deficit. He could have helped businesses like yours without giving massive tax cuts to the incredibly wealthy, and major companies such as Walmart. The taxes for average Americans while lower now will go up again higher than it was before because eventually you gotta start filling up the hole.

You have to include Congressmen, Senators, and members of any religious organization.

Got Jack Duish under your definition didn't you just call every single military member a puppet including yourself?

So SSG Adams you decided to start a business in the worst part of the recession and you want to blame the president yeah I think that's about all we need to know about your "business" knowledge

And they were all forced to participate. The lessons were stopped, signs handed out and they were ordered to go outside and protest. There were no other options given. From my daughters account, those who asked deeper questions were zeroed in on and ridiculed. One perspective was offered and one answer demanded. Can I also end the school day to force students to protest in support of my pet issues? How about forcing my employees, patients, soldiers etc ... this is wrong on many levels. The left has no shame.

I concur with you on that end, and anything involving our children is our responsibility. Not some educational staff member/teacher, in any capacity. I firmly believe that the person or persons responsible need to be held accountable for their actions.

What school, and when?

LTC (Join to see) Get a lawyer and explore your options. Also, you might seek to have the school placed on the off limits list for your base until corrective action is taken against the school and administrative staff.

As evidenced by the “P” hats and professionally printed posters.

I regretfully agree with much of what you have said. We don't send warriors and people with integrity and guts to Washington, and they don't want to go because there is no leadership there, on either side of the aisle.

I would like to interject here, and I dont want to speak for Cpt Lawrence Cable, but I think his point is at 16,17,18 year old kids, though adults or young adults, havent had the real world experience or the exposure to the world as it actually works. I know quite a few well intentioned kids/young adults ( even some older adults for that fact) that see the issues we face today in a very simplistic view. Todays issue, especially when it comes to constitutional issues, possibly see things in a manor that is not fully drawn out at times. By that I mean, they have a generally good idea of what they see as solutions, however they are small picture or short sighted if you will. They dont see the long view. They see small changes but dont see how those changes will play out in the grand scheme. We hear all the time how ” we arent coming for your guns, we just want reasonable gun control laws enacted”. However they may not realize that A: there are already a myriad of laws that already cover most of their avenues of concern and B: though they truly think theyre all minut requests that will make everyone safer, bit in the meantime the folks that actually drive and push for the legislation want far more than that. How many bills have we already seen come up before various legislatures that are looking for all out bans on all semi automatics, all high-capacity magazines, anything that looks like a scary military rifle? It is an unfortunate reality that some people, especially young adults with limited exposure to the world outside of their bubble, are much more easily swayed by emotion and forgo logic in their decision-making. That is how we end up with these high-level’s of teen suicide and these mass attacks on their peers. Because they make decisions based on emotion and not logic. It is not to say that all of them think this way, but I believe on majority do. Again this is my take on the situation and I believe the gyst of what Cpt Cable is going for here.

PFC Jim Wheeler - I completely agree. The left talks in terms of politicians being "owned" by the NRA, or to quote that disgusting Hogg kid, being the "NRA's b*tches". They NEVER talk in terms of their own side's politicians as being owned by or being the b*tches of any leftist organization, whether it's an anti-gun group or Planned Parenthood, even though the money in question dwarfs what is given by the NRA.

LCpl Arthur Forbes - If the gun lobby gets a voice the anti gun lobby gets a voice. That's how the country was set up. You don't have to like it but both sides are pawns for their kings agenda.

Politicians are listening to these kids though because they realize this may be the most politically active group of kids since maybe the Vietnam war, which coincidentally was also the last time our country was split so wide and so vitriolic. If these kids decide to stay the course and actually make it to the polls (that's the true test) it could majorly shift what demographics politicians pander to.

And I think the other side uses fear tactics to the benefit of their larger contributors. Neither side is clean, both sides use despicable tactics. Those you decide to see simply reflect your own views.

Just because you survived violence does not make you some kind of philosopher.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I think that they actually understand the world even less.

LTC (Join to see) - The outrage surrounding sandy hook was massive... for the time, it was bigger than aurora and columbine. Each one gets more and more outrage though because more and more people decide something needs to be done. Also its not possible at all for me to have a baby, thankfully only my wife can do that.

LTC (Join to see) - I will say if people are more outraged due simply to who the president is that's silly.

LTC (Join to see) - They did, but the Obama Administration at least gave the appearance of trying to take action in someway or another, but there's not a lot that can be done without Congressional legislation. I'm thinking that that had a lot to do with it.

SPC (Join to see) how do you explain Fast and Furious then?
