To clarify, I am not meaning that they have no ideas of their own or anything to that effect, but I do notice that one of their main points against Congress is that these Representatives are simply puppets for the NRA gun lobby because they accept campaign donations from them. Based on that position, would that not make them puppets for all of the anti-gun lobbyists who donated to fund their marches and rallies?

People of that age are easily swayed usually. That's why the military focuses on them. In this case it was CNN and the left leading them astray.

Yep. It is all propaganda by the communist MSM , they can pick and chose single incidents, people, and present with such a slant as to make any issue an issue. They do it with these kids, cops shooting blacks, racism , etc. All outliers, out of millions or hundreds of million people and incidents and totnon-representative of what is actually going on, and totally omitting/covering up 99%+ of gun violence and the persons who commits such violent crimes. It is sickening how they do it , all to take guns aways from law abiding citizens, and let the underclasses run rampant so they can do "Rhodesia" and "South Africa" (rob,murder, rape, divest of rights and land) i.e. genocide) to the same. The anti-gun lobby is out to kill the white people of the USA , and their outrageous methods of doing so, such as using children as "shields" and as vocal advocates is just typical.

They all are puppets of some sort. With the so-called education system currently in place, they will always be puppets. They are indoctrinated by liberal bias and incorrect history. I know if I were in school I would be arguing with my teachers about the subjects. I was educated by more than my teachers. My parents, my grandparents, my family and friends and their parents all taught me to think for myself and never go against my heart. I am not sure they know how to form coherent thought for themselves.

No. Congress is supposed to be independent. Congress is supposed to regulate. People are people. People do what they want and get funded by who they want. But congress should have the moral high ground of not folding to corporate $$$. But they don’t. A bunch on spineless bitches if you ask me. Except for Bernie, let the rest of the corporate Dems and Reps get the boot all the way back to the swamp they slinked out of, and take the one the built in Washington with them.

Congressman are people too, and they are people who represent the competing interests in our nation. All representatives take donations to fund their campaigns, otherwise only the very wealthy would be able to run in the first place.
Sen. Sanders is no exception to this. He takes money from multiple PACs to fund his campaigns.
Our government runs on the idea of pluralism. The basic premise is that any group can influence the electoral process. That means that the NRA can donate to support pro-gun representatives and it also means that Every town for Gun Safety can donate to support anti-gun representatives.
Let's keep in mind that these interest groups get their money from donations from citizens who support their positions too. Citizens give money to groups that represent their interests and those groups use that money to support representatives that represent those citizens.
It isn't like these interest groups force people to the polls or rig elections. They simply support candidates that represent their interests (which are simply the interests of the citizens that they represent) in the hopes that the people will be persuaded to vote in favor of that particular politician.
It isn't buying Congressman anymore than these other groups are buying activists, it is simply supporting a message that you agree with. It is no different than you or me donating to support a candidate we agree with, it is only on a larger scale because we represent only ourselves (and our dollars) and interest groups represent the thousands of citizens who donate to them.

Congressmen have their own ideals, and they run on those ideals hoping they represent the majority of the people in their district/state. Interest groups then support those candidates who represent their interests in the hopes that they can get more candidates elected that share their ideals.
That is why the NRA isn't donating to Nancy Pelosi. She doesn't support their ideals, so they don't want to support her campaigns. If it were as easy as buying politicians, then the NRA wouldn't only donate to pro-gun candidates, they would "buy" the anti-gun candidates to ensure that gun control policies aren't even mentioned in Congress.

I consider myself a moderate conservative - with pretty much a live and let live type attitude - how does another persons sexual preference effect me and my family - it doesn't - so that's between them and God and not my business. I draw the line at having to accept the plethora of genders - sorry - to me there are only two and how you feel does not trump how I feel about it and if it offends - so what - life goes on. but that's because I am being TOLD I must think this way or I am a transphobe or sumsuch - which is not the case - I fully believe it is a reality that there are people who are born with the wrong body. yet the minute I say the word "conservative" I became a racist, alt right, neck bearded, basement dwelling, flyover hillbilly redneck homophobe, transphobe, misogynist, white supremacist, fascist, deplorable Nazi only deserving of being punched. that is the state of the liberal progressive social justice left today, and they absolutely refuse to see that their use of violence makes them the fascists in this kerfluffle.

same thing regarding the racial tensions - who gains while America is busy fighting each other over stupid melatonin? who are being exploited in order to continue fueling the divide? and who controls media representation of these issues? todays youth are not equipped to utilize critical thinking - as someone said in a post earlier - they taught what to think - not how to think - because teaching how to think opens the door to questions those that run things do not want asked.

a few things - 1. follow the money - that is who is running this 2. these are young children - sorry but 14,15,16 year olds do not have the life experience, the understanding of the constitution, not the maturity to organize, fund, and execute such things - someone or someones are using their emotions in order to further an agenda - personally - I would look to Soros and such for answers. Ask your self - who benefits the most, who will it hurt the most, and who stands to gain in the resulting turmoil.
