Please tell me you got that from the Onion or some similar satire site...
But check out the comments on the "Gun Control is a Feminist Issue" part.   :shake:

nopenopornhere said:   Guns aren’t bad, people are. We need more checks and balances on gun purchase, sure, but to take away guns is insane


purplerunner1 said:     And they all happen in gun free zones, how many die from opioid a day, texting while driving, knives, DUI. Address the gun problem at schools by having armed retired military at the schools, doubt me…just run the ad and see how many patriots apply!


brose245 said:      Most of the guns deaths are black men killing other black men. So it’s bad when when black men kill each other but it’s good to for black women to kill their black babies?

I just got an email from change.org from March for our lives.
Lots of misinformation being spread via mass email.

I read their whole website a week or so ago. Straight out of the Soviet era shameless propaganda machine where facts and truth only appear either incidentally or accidentally.  >:D SMH.

I just got an email response from superintendent Art Souza, after emailing him three times in the past 10 days asking him for his official statement re "no political statements" at the "walkouts", which directly contradicted the political statement about "gunh controL' by the leader of one of the high school walkouts as reported in the Hilo Tribune-Herald. My second and third emails asked him why he hadn't responded and what his official "rule" was for the "walkout" scheduled for April 20.

"The DOE position on the past weeks walkout was public record.  If asked by the press for a statement I am in a position to offer one.

I have no need to engage with you in any continuing conversation."

 :rofl:

* * * * * *
How hard would it for him to have simply sent me a copy of his official policy announcement? He won't answer a mere citizen taxpayer who pays his salary, but will only respond to "the press"? Is that his official policy on all school policy matters? Oh, I see, he has "no need to engage in any continuing conversation". I wonder why? Plus, I think the word "continuing" is misused.

I wrote both the DOE asking for an explanation of his non-explanation, and asked the reporter ("the press") of the original story to ask him for the original official policy statement and for the upcoming "walkout" as well.

I have no idea and have seen no reporting on what actually happened at the "walkouts" at the schools under his purview, so don't know if his stated policy was really even announced much less implemented and if so what happened to any students who actually followed the directives of the "walkout" organization and advocated for "gun control".

I suppose we are going to be seeing these, uh, "people" exercising their "influence" forever... makes me sick.

Barack, Michelle Obama Rally Behind Student March for Gun Control

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/22/barack-michelle-obama-rally-behind-student-march-gun-control/

Excerpts:

Barack and Michelle Obama are rallying behind students who will be participating in Saturday’s march for gun control.

The former first couple is praising the students’ “resolve” and warning them not to give up if progress toward securing more gun restrictions seems slow.

The letter came just weeks after Barack praised the way students were organizing for gun control in response to the Parkland school shooting. He told them, “How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We’ve been waiting for you. And we’ve got your backs.”

As I predicted, here comes another "viral flash-mob national walkout day".

Quote from change.org email today....
____
About the movement
The National Student Walkout is a nationwide protest of our leaders’ failure to pass laws that protect us from gun violence. Mass shootings happen far too frequently in America, and we as a nation have become numb to seeing the news.

On April 20th, the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, American students will walk out of class and protest. Start a petition to urge your school to participate, and view petitions below from other schools around the country.

Together, we will send a message that we won’t tolerate any more inaction on this issue.

National "March for Our Lives" at 839 worldwide locations tomorrow March 24, including nine locations in Hawaii.

Interesting disclaimer on their website:

By choosing to attend this event, you are committing to participate nonviolently and in accordance with the law, to work to de-escalate confrontations with others, and to obey the orders of authorized event marshals and of law enforcement. You also acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any injury or damage to your person or property resulting from or occurring during this event and that you release all event sponsors and organizers (and their officers, directors, employees, and agents) from any liability for that injury or damage.

You can find the "March" nearest you here:

And I notice in their "Mission Statement" that they use the term "assault rifle", which all the civilian disarmament groups carefully do NOT use, as they now know that there actually is such a thing as an "assault rifle" which is defined as having full auto or 3-round burst capability, and thus they use the meaningless propaganda term "assault weapon" to refer to semi-automatic weapons. I guess the "kids" (haha... funded by Bloomberg et al.) haven't gotten the lies straight yet.

YouTube took it down for "harassing and bullying" the NRA ?  :wacko:

Wonder what would happen if  "some group" put up a "Truth about Guns" or "Pro Common Sense Gun Laws" educational tent.  :thumbsup:
Do like that guy who does sit down interviews in public and pretty much shows people how little they know about a subject.  :love:
We could even get a politician to show up so we could have armed security !  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Maybe she'll co-opt "#Enough" or "#Enoughisenough" or "#Neveragain" with a completely different meaning.


Nah!  :shaka:

The "marchers" (even though their march permit was denied, and now it's called a "rally", some organizers have suggested they might march from the rally to the White House anyway...) are scheduled to end up having hot chocolate served to them at the humongous National Educational Association teachers union ("the largest professional interest group in the United States") lobby building. Given that Kishimoto et al. in the command structure of HIDOE are all members of NEA, and that NEA is outspoken in supporting the student attempts to impose "gun control", I suspect she'll follow the party line.

Tomorrow's March.....read brainwashing.

"Rather than rallying for specific gun measures, local march organizers are focusing more on inspiring political engagement and activism on the issue among the young.

“The students, they’re just really wary of it becoming a push for a specific thing,” said Sevan Apollo, 34, who is working with students in Oakland to organize the March for Our Lives there. “We’re not going to be talking about politicians or specific bills until more research is done on them.”"
