Cherry Blossom Festival moved a day due to March for Our Lives

[DrLove]

What effect do you think it will have?

Wow - well these awesome kids are already credited with the baby steps that Florida just took.
They also have a voter registration program in place that will mean millions more rejecting the NRA and getting to the polls.
As for the Women's March - that too energized women to get out and vote. Those results are already showing.
There will be ANOTHER Women's March before the election!

Since the Constitution cannot simply be legislated out of the way, what difference will that even make?

As I mentioned yesterday, the 1972 Democrats expected kids and women to come out for their candidate McGovern, who lost in one of the greatest landslides in history.

If machine guns can be effectively removed from the hands of every Tom, Dick and Harry, so can AR's. They were for 10 years. They can be again. No one had to get rid of the Second Amendment.
They sure don't need to get rid of it to pass the legislation being proposed these days to try and keep guns out of the hands of the homicidal.

Hide and watch Billy - If you can't acknowledge the net 50 or so seats that have already flipped thanks to women (particularly minority women) and immigrants rejecting Trumpism, can't help ya man.

A new day for women, Democrats across the nation after Tuesday elections

March for our lives? LMFAO! If it was about a genuine risk of death, they'd be protesting any of the dozens of things that cause more children to die than school shootings. These kids have a better chance of being struck by lightning than murdered by a school shooter, but the media has whipped up quite a frenzy over this phenomenon.

They have a better chance of being shot in school than those like you would have of being raped or murdered by immigrant or a terrorist.

Except that the AR-15 was never fully banned, and, besides, the Justice Department reported when that law was up in 2004 that it had been largely ineffective.

But it's not about results, is it? Just about -feeling- like your fears are being taken seriously.

Stir up the women and you just never know what might happen. They voted in Prohibition, remember.
Women have power.

It kept mass shootings from continuing on their frightening rise. It didn't stop them, no, but the DOJ a year later had to report that mass shootings had doubled once the law expired. There's more to it than just outlawing inappropriate weapons like AR's, but we will get there.

We can't control lightning. We can control guns.

You can't control lightning, no, but you can't stop every shooting victim from being shot, either. I highly doubt that you're under the impression that you're going to be able to end gun violence altogether, but rather that you're going to be able to cut down the number of people killed.

Likewise, we could, theoretically, pass laws about standing under trees during rainstorms, or about standing out in open fields during the same. We could have laws regarding people's vicinity to lightning rods.

We could also pass laws to cut down on traffic deaths, we could pass laws to curb peoples' shitty health habits. Lots of things kill more kids than AR's, but you're only marching about AR's. Could it be that it's more about the political nature of the cause of death than about actually creating a meaningful difference in death statistics?

You are absolutely correct. Thank you.

We could also pass laws to cut down on traffic deaths, we could pass laws to curb peoples' shitty health habits.
Where have you been? We HAVE done that in myriad ways.

you're only marching about AR's.
Is that all they're marching about? The federal government's response has been completely limp dicked (excuse my vulgarity) and if even some of the good ideas floated in light of the Parkland shooting become laws of this land, I will be very pleased. This is not one that should be "left to the states" imo. Consistent legislation is necessary. So far all the jokers have done is throw a little money toward arming teachers. Jeeezzusss.

They have not been "removed". Pay the tax, have a machine gun.

They were for 10 years.

And it made no difference. They "fixed" the wrong "problem".

They can be again.

To the same effect, yes.

No one had to get rid of the Second Amendment.
They sure don't need to get rid of it to pass the legislation being proposed these days to try and keep guns out of the hands of the homicidal.

Why not simply deal with the homicidal up front? Or are 40 alarms still not enough? What would be the magic number to remove them?

Pffft. Men have more power. That's a fact. Piss off the men and all hell will break loose.

So what?

Now, let us reason together. We are not going the way of the Democrats.

Are you pushing to institutionalize the insane? Then why are so many people against the ERPO's? It takes legislation, you know. You can't just grab the homeless by the collar and throw them in a dungeon because you feel like it.
People talk about the pendulum swinging, and eventually returning to it's rightful arc, more in the center where it belongs. I think that happened with our treatment of mental health disorders. Everyone who was nutty was locked up and a lot of them were abused. So then they let EVERYONE out and made it close to impossible to get them off the street again. It's time we remediated that.
