After a gunman took the lives of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, lawmakers are facing renewed calls for legislation on gun reform. The NRA accepted CNN's invitation to participate in the town hall and national spokeswoman Dana Loesch will represent the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ainge64 Posted February 22, 2018 at 01:56 AM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 01:56 AM Watching with great interest. It's interesting (maddening) to see how words are already being twisted and manipulated after the President's listening session this afternoon.

InterestedBystander Posted February 22, 2018 at 02:20 AM Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 02:20 AM blah blah, weapon of war...blah blah, weapon of choice...blah blah, ban them...its a place to start oh...lets ban every semi automatic rifle *sigh* Bad, evil NRA spending so much political money! uh...facts? Rubio isnt going to win a conversation by trying to debate a teenager yea..."common sense gun laws"... and now..."high" cap mags. Rubio is reconsidering his position. Rubio should have stayed away. I can hardly wait for the NRA to appear on stage. Pass terrorist watch list ban NRA and Sheriff department on stage next. Muskets! Not these weapons of mass destruction... Dana carried herself well and represented the NRA better than I anticipated, especially in that hostile environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squints08 Posted February 22, 2018 at 03:03 AM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 03:03 AM Between my wife and I there are over 25 years of high school education experience from the AP level to the essential level in our house. With that, we both agree these kids didn’t write these questions or rebuttals. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybermgk Posted February 22, 2018 at 04:37 AM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 04:37 AM This is disgusting. Why is Dana there? You can't argue with emotion.I imagine to keep it from being a 100% propaganda event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyP Posted February 22, 2018 at 05:57 AM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 05:57 AM Sincere kudos to the NRA and Dana for her excellent representation of the cause we all share. Talk about being in the lion's den. In that emotionally charged environment I don't expect many in attendance heard her and actually listened to what she was saying but she deserves credit for speaking the truths amidst the chaos. I don't for a second fault the kids, the parents who lost a child or their teachers for being so angry and afraid and needing to lash out and vent their frustration to someone. The events they survived earned them that right. At least one person, Dana, had the courage to sit there and try to answer those emotions honestly without pandering. Can't say the same for the politicians or the moderator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchDoctor Posted February 22, 2018 at 06:50 AM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 06:50 AM My daughter asked me, unsolicited, dad, if they take all the guns how are we going to protect ourselves?

He said he decided not to attend the town hall after CNN presented him with the scripted question."CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Haab told WPLG-TV. "I don't think that it's going get anything accomplished. It's not gonna ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have.""I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions," he added.

RandyP Posted February 22, 2018 at 02:37 PM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 02:37 PM All of us who have buried a child, no matter their age or cause of death, have the deepest empathy for people in the same position. NO child should have to be afraid to be in school for any reason, guns, gangs, drugs, other weapons included. And if I could create the 15 word sentence or a 'law' that would stop that, I would and be called a savior. I cannot and am not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She answered the question about the militia but forgot to mention that the right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be infringed.

ddan Posted February 22, 2018 at 11:55 PM Share Posted February 22, 2018 at 11:55 PM I don't know about all the "hands off" treatment of these kids. Watching this is rather repulsive to me: kids treating adults with such complete disrespect, discourtesy, etc. That's a US Senator, for crying out loud, and you're calling him a murderer? I think these child activists are overplaying their "righteous " anger, and their wholesale disrespect and bratty bad manners are a huge turn-off for any adult watching. The joke was that Hillary! reminded a lot of men of their first husband. These child activists are starting to remind me of every know-it-all brat I've ever run into.

ddan Posted February 23, 2018 at 12:49 AM Share Posted February 23, 2018 at 12:49 AM So let me modify my point a bit... This is probably how the kids have learned to communicate - I don't watch much TV, but from the "reality tv" clips I've seen, it's all emotional shoutdowns and condemnation of this bad person or that bad person. That said, it does really rub this grumpy old man the wrong way to have a child haranguing an adult - especially one who holds a responsible position like Senator. But probably it's best that they keep up this temper tantrum. I don't believe it is helping their cause, but of course, i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
