We need to start openly challenging them. I do not care if we treat them badly. Time for politeness is over for those who support the GOP and NRA agenda. For the sake of the children we have to make them uncomfortable. We must press forward against guns and lack gun laws and demand better.

(10,156 posts)Didn't back down against my own family member this morning over her calling those teenagers from Parkland "Pawns for the left." I challenged her on every part until there was nothing left to even prove.
Remember kids! AR-15 = Baseball bat.
Literally what she said...calling an AR-15 an assault rifle is like saying a baseball is one.
