They stole the narrative from the kids and parents that were suffering....

Now it's "both sides" ...

Concealed carry.

Teachers need to be armed.

Etc...etc...

The people that were trying to explain their pain have been put in the back row, unfortunately.

doesn't mean they "stole" the narrative.

The country as a whole overwhelmingly favors stronger gun control. They are on our side.

Parents and adults falling over trump.

Mental illness and arming teachers.

Only a couple of students mentioned guns. The best one is this kids in the blue checkered shirt. He's talked about how come you can't buy a beer in a bar until 21 but can walk into a store and buy an AR15. And he talked about Australia and someone else talked about Israel. But most are back talking about arming teaching and arming people. GET RID OF THE DAMN GUNS.

This idiot is talking about someone with a handgun on his waist taking on someone with an AR 15 and saying we need MORE guns on campus. I am
sorry he lost his daughter but jeez.

And Betsy sit there with a stupid grin on her face and trump is nodding his head like a puppet. Which he is, a puppet of the NRA.

Not one mention of the NRA buying politicians.

the people at the White House were I don't know screened or somehow vetted. But of course that's absurd we all know how abisimally dismal this White House is when vetting people..

I watched for about 10 minutes, got disgusted at the lack of anyone pointing to banning specific weapons.

gun control. He knew that was not what trumo and company wanted to hear, but he spoke up anyway.

I was livid whe the second tiome he took the mike, he was interrupted by one of the "let's arm the teachers" moron. No one else was cut short.

I listened on the way home. The first person asked for recommendations said Guns in schools. The second (or third) said secure the area which means wall them off or something like that.
