    Here's a small album of some of the signs found at the Seattle march.

    Pretty hilarious... seem to have an "anti-white" theme.

    Some language.

    If the message on those signs were directed at black males, say in somewhere like Chicago or Gary, or at Hispanic males in somewhere (anywhere) in California, what do you suppose the reaction would be? I'm guessing there would be outrage, and rightfully so. But I guess anything goes when it comes to degrading the white male demographic. You know, because we're all bloodthirsty killers 'n stuff.

    Trigger warning: reading the works of John Paul Stevens can increase blood pressure.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/opinion/john-paul-stevens-repeal-second-amendment.html

    I'm just going to talk about the first part of his article, because the rest isn't anything that he hasn't ever said before. It's all ideological garbage, but the first part clearly identifies his bias.

    Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past Saturday. These demonstrations demand our respect. They reveal the broad public support for legislation to minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society.


    That support is a clear sign to lawmakers to enact legislation prohibiting civilian ownership of semiautomatic weapons, increasing the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 years old, and establishing more comprehensive background checks on all purchasers of firearms. But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.


    So he's saying that because school children go out and protest, that fact reveals not just their wisdom, but the depth to which society agrees with them. Thus lawmakers should enact all the things the demonstrating kids wont. And not only that, lawmakers should enact the things the kids didn't even think of to protest, like repealing the 2A.

    TLDR; "We should cave in to all kids throwing temper-tantrums as long as their temper-tantrums agree with my ideology."

    It's obvious that he is an ideological activist and that he's not using reason here--he's just running ideological subroutines, which the output is predictable. The routine goes like this: any input relating to guns flows through the "ordinary citizens shouldn't own guns" routine, and out spits, therefore, repeal 2a is the output. Predictable. Every time.

    There's no depth of thought displayed in this article, especially the parts where he says that kids protesting == we should do what they ask. Really? Is that input/output reasonable across the board?

    No. It's ideological. It's not reason. Because he wouldn't apply the same principle if the kids were protesting for something against his ideological position. He's only applauding these kids to the extent that they're agree with his ideological view. Citizens shouldn't be allowed to own weapons. If those kids didn't say anything at all about guns, and were, say, demanding that the media stop encouraging potential mass shooters by talking about them for weeks after a shooting. If that were the case, this article, if he wrote it at all, wouldn't even mention kid protestors. Well, unless it was to point out that reasonable adults don't cave in to kids throwing tantrums.

    These kids are being used by the left as sympathy props to sway public opinion to their side. Once you've seen the depths of the latest, "but for the children" tactic, you think surely you've hit the bottom. Surely there's no further you're willing to exploit kids. But no.

    Kept wiping her eyes, but no tears.

    Ya gotta love Judge Judy. It would be interesting to actually see these kids make their case in front of her.

    Is there still any doubt that all of this is about schools and keeping them safe? After watching and listening to various excerpts from this weekend, seeing their signs, considering how unlikely it is that 5 (or so) high school kids could coordinate something of this size, we ought to drop all pretense this is about beefing up security in schools, arming teachers (or not), putting metal detectors in buildings, etc. This is about one thing. It's about their ultimate goal of directly or indirectly repealing the 2A. These high school kids are nothing but human shields.

    WASHINGTON — Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment to allow for significant gun control legislation.
    The 97-year-old Stevens says in an essay on The New York Times website that repeal would weaken the National Rifle Association's ability to "block constructive gun control legislation."

    Well He was appointed by Gerald Ford but, Stevens is widely considered to have been on the liberal side of the Court at the time of his retirement.

    They are going after the National Rifle Association It have never been about protection of children in schools. It about Deep State Power.

    I saw a video where the interviewer went around asking people about their signs and how they went about deciding what to write. They all said, to a person, they didn't make the signs. The signs were handed out to them.

    It's extremely dishonest to control the narrative to the extent that the anti-gun does in main stream media, what average people hear, that the NRA is only powerful because gun manufacturers' donations, that it's blood money, which the NRA pays to politicians to keep their products of death legal against the true beliefs of 95% of Americans, that the remaining 5% who support the 2a are crazy gun nuts. To control that narrative and then say that what these kids are doing is any kind of "grass roots", or even all that noble. If you're pushing a conclusion you don't get to congratulate people for reaching it. In fact, I think it's more impressive when kids are capable of thinking deeper than the superficial narrative, and conclude it's all bull****.
