The winner of this award is Rick Santoram. This former US Senator said that the students that were present at the March For Our Lives gathering in Washington, DC, "should learn CPR instead of taking to the streets". If that wasn't enough, he actually said that "students should stop asking law makers to solve the gun crisis and simply help themselves".
This idiotic remark is the most insensitive, and mean spirited thing I've ever heard about the gun crisis.
Of course the NRA should share this award with the good Senator for calling the anti gun gathering a carnival. Can you imagine calling the gathering of traumatized kids, parents and people from all over the country that are justly afraid to send their children to school a carnival? This has nothing to do with party or ideology. It's just common human sympathy and understanding that is so lacking in these remarks. In the case of the NRA, greed is a good part of the problem. They care more about profits of the gun industry than the lives of children and other innocents.

I have said have your guns. As many as you want.
But if for one moment that you really believe you are truly able to act properly in defense of your self I find it hard to believe.
An individual waving a weapon around makes it hard for some one who is enlisted to protect the public.
It is hard to do their job properly with out shooting you.

Some one who is enlisted to protect the public, facing some one with a weapon in hand would be hard pressed to act properly quickly. Shoot first & face the questions later. Only one party can win that show down.

Fear with a weapon in your hands is not the best way to confront an issue.

BS! If these parents cared so much for their children, they
would demand that schools provide better security and
education. There was a time when home schooling was the
best education a child could get.
Now, both parents have to work to make ends meet, they
have no choice but to send them to public school.
So, the children are brainwashed, and not taught personal
responsibility.
I truly hate the teachers in schools today!

I agree with Santoram. First, yes it is traumatizing that our school children have to deal with this fear. Second, they need to become better informed on the issue of guns, instead of what they are being told. Third, give me a percentage of those in the march that were kids that had been through this horror and how many were being paid to be there ? Just saying, instead of staging a protest, and it did become a protest. Why not have civil discussion with these kids, ask them what they think should be done for their safety ? FOURTH, we are at fault any time this happens. We provide security at airports and all other means of transportation. We provide security for our courtrooms, elected officials, public buildings. Why can we not provide security for our children. This is not about a gun. This is about a society in general that promotes violence through media, games and certain restrictions put on law enforcement. Before an incident such as this, the person almost always sends up red flares. It is we adults that are failing the children by not seeing these changes, or just doing nothing. So in summary. We can all choose who we want to blame for another tragedy. It wasn't the gun. It wasn't the NRA. It wasn't any organized group. It was us. We adults, with the responsibility to protect our next generation. We are the ones to blame and nothing with change till we stop the political fighting. Protecting our children goes beyond Party. These children are our future. quote=saltwind 78]The winner of this award is Rick Santoram.

The answer they need to know is simple, an assault rifle is the type of weapon used in the Las Vegas and parkland massacres. You don’t need to know the particular specifications of a formula one car or Sherman tank to understand that neither should be driven by civilians on public streets. The same holds true here.

While our sympathy is with those students who have been put in fear of their lives by attending school, Santorum's transgression was that he was too honest in labeling this performance as an orchestrated sideshow. Even places like the City of Baltimore expended funds desperately needed elsewhere, to send school children to Washington to march. This was an orchestrated performance to achieve an end, motivated not by safety, but control. The students are pawns in this takeover game.

The real causes of the recent school murders are not being addressed and they are many, starting with Obama's race based edict to stop arresting black kids, which morphed into arrest no kids, in order to gain federal funding. It also proves once again that allowing Washington to meddle in School issues simply gives them another means of effecting social engineering without regard for the result of their experimentation. The State was complicit in not investigating the reason crime statistics suddenly improved and the local Sheriff has his share of culpability, in not making arrests, when they were needed. He also ignored warnings, a kid who forced as many home disturbance calls as this killer should have been examined by mental health professional instead of leaving the disposition up to a local deputy. He failed to train his deputies to address active shooters and not cover their asses while victims are being slaughtered. Establishing perimeters is fine when the attack is coming from outside but when the attackers are inside, you want the attacker dead or out. The FBI comes in for their share of guilt in not following up the complaints and marking this individuals records so that the killer could not buy guns. These policing elements were derelict in performing their duties even according to their poor standards.

The last thing that should be protested is the gun. Without fixing these other elements the killer will always be able to obtain a gun or a bomb or even knives. Where are the demonstrations demanding that school officials do their jobs when they have charge of students In Loco Parentis. They bear primary culpability along with local law enforcement. It is their stupid regulations that ban armed police officers from the school buildings. They cannot even identify the officer outside, by his proper name, armed guard, but must call him a resource officer.

Why is it that so may on the right see staged events from the Left but are so taken in by the staged issues from the right.
Many are swayed by issues that are staged.
I would advise you to apply much the same attention to more things that are going on.
From both sides on issues.

There is nothing more staged than how the NRA puts out its views.

Mongo, I think that the teachers in schools today are the best ever. The education courses I have taken are excellent. If there is something you don't like about the public schools, talk to the public school , and board of ed officials. They are the people that determine what the curricula is and now, how it is taught, not the teachers. I saw no evidence of brain washing in any of the school systems that I taught in, which includes Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, MD, New York City, Frederick County, MD and several excellent private schools. Washington certainly was the most corrupt and had the worst ed. system of the bunch in spite of a well funded system.
I agree that better security is needed. We could start with an armed police officer in every school. That would be expensive , and as we saw in the most recent shooting, wouldn't necessarily help. Many of the schools in my state of South Carolina are in desperate need of funding. Route 95 is called the corridor of shame because of the rotten schools in the rural areas of that part of the state. The salaries are so low that I am amazed that new teachers can make ends meet. Most teachers have school loans to pay off, and most of the good students that want to become teachers must go into other fields like IT or the medical field just to live.
I don't care much for home schooling. It is an excuse for parents not to educate their kids. As far as I know, there are no state officials checking on the parents to make sure that they are educating their kids. Children often do not get the social skills they will need in life when educated at home. If parents want to give their children a religious education, nothing is stopping them from sending their kids to a religious day school or an after school church program, like my parents did.
The tragedy of school shootings and the mass murder that takes place at concerts and movies will continue as long as military style assault rifles are available to civilians. There must be universal checks to make sure that felons, mentally disturbed people and terrorists can not buy weapons at all. I think that these safeguards are reasonable and do not interfere on peoples second amendment rights. I might add that I own two handguns for self protection and have a concealed weapons permit as well.
Parents do care for their children. The government must act even though former Senator Rick Santoram may not think it's necessary!

Well Linda.

I just want to say for many people today on the issue of joy in their life has become a nightmare on the guns issue.
To leave the solution to the issue in the hands of the public is not going to make the problem go away.

We need to have those that wish to pass them self off as competent leaders to stop passing the buck on the guns issue.
There is just to much money going in their pockets from gun makers, sellers & buyers wanting to have & hold guns.
They have no intention of selling out.
The NRA has what it wants & wishes to keep it on going.

First we need to slow or stop the exchange of money going to legislators.

We need to look at contribution's as what for the most part they are. They should be looked at as bribes & treated as such..

The NRA is upfront about its advocacy of second amendment rights and its social and political actions in suplport of those rights. Staging as you call it consists of mustering support to defeat anti-second legislation, speaking about gun safety and rational use, in every forum available. It has been their mission since there inception and has not changed. They do not muster mobs, under some other guise, to obtain legislation giving them control over others lives.

The incessant attacks on the NRA are not motivated because of NRA policies but simply by their being an impediment to removal of the second amendment. The NRA's view are published in major outlets from time to time and also when there is such an incident. This is not staging, it is combating hysteria induced by the MSM and those whose aim is total disarming of the populace.
