David Hogg Gets Horrible News as Anti-Gun Campaign Blows Up in His Face

The gun grabbers are going to h**e this.
In the month since the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, American television screens have been images of angry teenagers demanding that grown-ups do something about gun violence in the United States.
But there’s a huge part of the young adult population who aren’t making it onto the mass media’s television screens, but have evidently decided to do something about gun violence on their own:
Arm themselves so they can be responsible for their own defense.
According to the Bellevue, Washington-based Second Amendment Foundation, the organization has experienced a massive surge in people aged 18 to 20 joining or supporting the organization — a spike of almost 1,200 percent.
In a news release, foundation founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb attributed the spike to the fact that one of the most tangible results of the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting has been a new gun law in Florida that bans purchases of rifles by those under 21.
“We normally don’t get that many members or donors in that age group, since the gun rights movement typically trends toward older Americans,” Gottlieb said in the release.
“But the 18- to 20-year-olds have never been specifically targeted before, and they are obviously alarmed. This influx of young Americans into the gun rights movement is important, not just to respond to the current gun control threat, but as the movement has gotten older, it is encouraging to see so many young adults getting involved in support of Second Amendment rights.”
That’s a side of the argument that isn’t being pushed by the mainstream media. Obsessed with the angry young people of Parkland — like the ubiquitous Douglas senior David Hogg – most reporters have ignored the constitutional question involved in gun control laws like Florida’s.
Should there be an age restriction on gun ownership?
Yes No

The Constitution states — and the Supreme Court has affirmed — that bearing arms is an individual right of American citizens.
Florida’s new law — and the support it’s getting from the liberal media — make a mockery of that.
If the gun-grabbers are so careless about limiting the constitutional rights of those under 21, let’s see how Democrats (and their teary-eyed pawns in Parkland) feel about getting rid of the 26th Amendment and keeping 18-year-old kids from v****g.
That’s never going to happen, of course, but if it did, there might never be another Democrat elected to the White House.

The Second Amendment Foundation isn’t the only gun rights group reporting renewed interest since the country’s latest bout of anti-gun insanity began, though.
According to Time magazine, gun rights groups and shooting organizations have reported a rise in membership since the Feb. 14 shootings in Parkland.
The National Rifle Association keeps its membership information private, but Time reported that two sources familiar with the group’s data said membership and donations have risen even as the NRA has been demonized by the mainstream media and Democrat Party.
David Hogg and the other Parkland darlings have all done their share of attacking the NRA too (this bit on CNN on Monday was a good example), pretending to speak for all the nation’s young people in wanting to dismantle a constitutionally guaranteed right.
But the numbers of 18- to 20-year-olds contacting the Second Amendment Foundation tell a different story:
The anti-gun campaign is blowing up in their faces.
“While the media has paraded high school students to push a gun control agenda, the age group that is now being targeted by that effort is energizing, and showing that there is another side to this controversy,” Gottlieb said.
And it’s a side the gun grabbers are going to h**e.

Consequences to everything isn't there...

Let thousands die every year over the "gun-grabbers" conspiracy theory. Do nothing to stop the astronomical and escalating violence because any effort for wise and reasonable controls is the slippery slope to gun confiscation. Given the alternatives of the thousands of innocent victims due to loose control and mandating tighter controls that appear to infringe, the humane choice is tighter controls.

That one thing, the "gun-grabbers" conspiracy theory, is stopping a sane response to the out-of-control gun violence in America. We are far, far away the worst amongst industrialized nations for gun violence. If the U.S. were in Western Europe, it would have the highest rate of gun deaths by a wide margin. The U.S. has more than five times the number of gun deaths as the top Western European nation: Portugal has 0.66 deaths per 100,000 people compared with 3.55 in the U.S.
Like the opioid epidemic, gun violence is the same. Attitudes and practices and ideas need to change.

The T***H is that for both murder and suicide rates worldwide, the U.S. falls right smack dab in the middle.
The T***H is that criminal gang members account for 3% of the population, but commit 50% of all violent crime in America.
The T***H is that American civilians are by far the most heavily armed population the world has ever seen.
The T***H is that enforcing the laws already in place is just too damn expensive, so we just pass more laws that won't be enfroced!
The T***H is that if existing laws had been enforced 2 of the 3 worst mass shootings this year would have been prevented!

Being the largest country of all it stands to reason more people elevate those numbers against the smaller based countries.. Gangs and drugs play a large reason as well .. Also most statistics I've looked at do not break down the stats to true violence excluding accidential injury, suicide, etc~~
We rank 31st in highest gun violence world wide and 9th in lowest gun violence in comparisonn.
