You may remember the big "March for Our Lives" protest in Washington D.C. after the Parkland school shooting. The media was all over it, because it was the "victim kids" who had had enough and were demanding we do something about gun control. The fact is, the 850,000 students claimed to be there numbered only 200,000, and most of those were over 18. In fact, the average age was 49 and most of the organizers were seasoned activists. Nevertheless, the left was demanding repeal of the second amendment and total gun control.
More and more voices are being heard demanding repeal, including the Vice Chair of the DNC who says the 2nd Amendment is an 18th century relic. Hollywood celebrities are even demanding gun confiscation. Major businesses are flaring at their nostrils with anti-gun rhetoric; You Tube, Facebook, CitiBank, Dick's Sporting Goods and other prominent businesses are at the forefront of the anti-gun movement.
The anti-Trumpers are tying Trump into the NRA while calling members of the NRA "domestic terrorists." In short, there is a full-blown push to make the crooks and thugs the only ones with guns in the country. And the dialogue is missing the whole damned point: it wasn't you or me or the NRA members who walked into that school and started shooting. It appears to me that we have become the guilty ones and he is getting off scot-free.
But, the real message here is that forces outside of the grumblers... some outside influence... is pushing for the repeal. Who?
