Have you noticed that the camo-wearing gun toters are nowhere to be seen?

Not today. There are none of them visible there in Tallahassee this afternoon as the young people call for change. They're not "asserting their 2nd Amendment rights" anywhere I can see. They're afraid to show their faces. They fear the outpouring of outrage at gun violence, and are hiding in their homes, clutching their firearms as their knees quake.

Let's keep up the pressure!

They're afraid to confront all those kids. They know they're losing, and they're scared to death. They're hiding today.

It might help you get through a situation; hell, it could even be necessary like pepper-spray for walking in bad neighborhoods, but the fear of right-wing gun-owners... it seems like they buy gun after gun after gun, hoping that the next one will finally cure their fear.

dangerous. I'm not making light of that here. I'm just pointing out that they are in hiding during this backlash. They'll be back, though, when they feel safe again.
