Demeanor of March for Our Lives ‘Student Leaders’ Could be Movement’s Achilles’ Heel

#MarxForOurLives ? Not all “student survivors” are on board with the totalitarian impulses of those getting the lion’s share of media attention, as this tweet from Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Kyle Kashuv makes clear.

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The well-funded and manipulative “March for Our Lives” agenda may seem unnerving, especially after Saturday’s coordinated events were given priority coverage by an activist media slavering every bit as much for citizen disarmament as the moist rabid participants. Many are spooked, as evidenced by the capitulation of President Trump and many “A-rated” Republicans on several “gun control” giveaways. Many of those have been given the green light by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the National Rifle Association, both of which are backers of the so-called “bump stock” ban, “Fix NICS “ expansion, and prior restraint disabilities, from so-called “Extreme Risk Protection Orders” to mental health blanket dragnets.

Gun owners who pay attention to such things will note any movement toward national reciprocity or hearing protection advancement is dead in the water and unlikely to gain traction prior to the midterms, if ever. They’ll also note that the budget “deal” did not rescind Chuck Schumer’s appropriations ban on rights restoration, and that March for Our Lives sponsor Planned Parenthood will still get half a billion dollars whether citizens want their tax dollars going to it or not.

It does raise an eyebrow when accusations of “blood on the hands” are leveled.

While hundreds of thousands attended (in many cases bussed in) “rallies” nationwide (and in Europe!), hundreds of millions did not. Aside from Democrat-dominated urban areas, most of “Red State” America went about its business Saturday. To the displeasure of some noting it, a lot of those went shooting.

As conservative writer David Horowitz has noted,”Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”

That ruling elites find disarmed people easier to “manage” ought to be a self-evident truth, but curiously, those who rail against “the One Percent” and police abuses are among the loudest voices demanding a monopoly of violence. You’d think they’d understand that there is no more truly egalitarian power-sharing arrangement than having an armed populace. Those exploiting useful idiots understand that perfectly.

They also understand that fever-pitch emotion is the “best remedy” against inconvenient truths taking root – like schools being “gun free zones,” authorities ignoring clear warning signs and “first responders” making sure they stayed out of harm’s way until it was too late. Get such an ignorant mob stirred up and they’ll never let little things like due process or presumption of innocence get in the way of a satisfying hanging, especially if the “guilty party” can be portrayed as a hateful monster like a “blood on his hands” gun owner. The thing is, those portrayed that way – and those who know them – know such accusations are lies, which opens the door to questioning the character and the motives of those spreading them.

In this case, the “student leaders” being feted and exalted are neither believable — nor even sympathetic or likeable — to any but a deluded following. They actually come off as unlikable, hell, as detestable to many.

There’s something about a rude child presuming that he knows what he’s talking about that adults who know better find inexcusably intolerable. Obnoxious, foul-mouthed fascist-in-the-making David Hogg is enjoying his new “rock star” status while he presumes to disparage and dictate to adults he is wholly unqualified to judge. The malevolent child mistakes himself for a person of importance and unique insight, rather than a tool, and that’s especially grating on those who see him for what he is, as the armbands and the raised fist salute make evident.

Via Matt Bracken

The same goes for Emma Gonzales, the daughter of a refugee from Castro’s Cuba. Her father fled a citizen disarmament-imposing tyranny. Now she’s intent on imposing the “¿Armas para que?” arrogance of a ruthless ruling elite and subverting the freedoms of a country that took him in. That should be seen by many as contemptible ingratitude – provided those who know inform those who don’t.

It’s pretty obvious that the gun-grabbing feeding frenzy we see going on is as much based on a cult of personalities as it is on anything else, and that these immature personalities intent on controlling the rest of us have little interest in controlling themselves when they start to believe the adulation. And while an ad hominem argument generally represents a logical fallacy when it comes to issues, it becomes valid to use when people revered by fools make the focus about themselves.

Incredible! Thanks for the post. I was wondering if there was a good source with some historical perspective that can be used as a weapon against the anti-gun morons!

IF Hogg had opened up his fist in picture, Seig Heil would have been an appropriate caption. Feudian slip on his part?

Clenched fist is communist. Open palm is NAZI. All are unAmerican when done as such.
The American gesture is index finger raised to say “We’re #1.” With middle finger raised raised it says something more personal.

Last week at Parkland with the new security in place-students took pictures of a Broward deputy sheriff asleep in his cruiser, at 5 pm on campus. He was reassigned. I live several counties above Broward in Martin County. Only saw this on a local site once. I’m thrilled no one took his gun while he slept. NRA and Trump would be blamed again. In the meantime, the sheriff and FBI have done an excellent job getting the focus changed from them. I forgot-the press too.

in case you missed it: Three weeks after the shooting three parkland students arrested at school for violence. Involving knives and gun threats. One was Baker Acted. Students in Martin County, Florida told me that their march leaders were supplied with all the signs and speaking material plus shirts. They held practice speaking meetings off campus.

What a nice concert they attended at no cost to them. I was a fun day for all of them. They probably didn’t bully anyone that day. Mr. Hogg, the little guy that had to keep his eyes on the paper in front of him while giving his speech, is a lost cause. He DEMANDED that congress do as he wanted or they were going to come and get congress. He’s been watching too many movies and playing too many video games.

The left is trying to take down a duly elected President of the United by any means possible. These people don’t want gun control, they want gun confiscation. They want a total disarmament for purpose of taking over this country and imposing their socialist aka communist,rule and we,as patriots, can not allow this to happen. Be prepared for a civil war right here in the streets of the USA. Think me crazy if you like,but I think this is the only way to stop them.

Term limits are already enshrined in our Constitution. They are called elections and are held on a regular basis. The REAL problem is most citizens can’t bother to get off of their collective fat azzes to bother to REGISTER to vote, much less cast a ballot. ‘We have met the enemy and he is us’ – Pogo.

We need more voters that support 2A. There are a lot of folks in the middle, some are left leaning and some right leaning. It’s up to each of us to help them understand, via meaningful conversation and taking them to the range or hunting.

As for me, I’m going to keep trying to bring new folks shooting, vote Republican, buy from my LGS, keep teaching my sons to shoot straight and safe.

@recon, These marches were very expensive to produce, and they are all about children dictating to adults about Civil Rights. When the finance gurus see the number of canceled accounts at CitiGroup that will open a few eyes. That will have an impact because it is about money.

Disparaging words and harsh rhetoric will not win us any converts. By all means point out the errors and omissions, but bad mouthing the “survivors” is only going to piss off the moderates and uncommitted, who we need.

All of these marches, and creating little rockstar tyrant wannabes is expensive. We can defeat this entire expensive effort by flooding the primaries and voting for the non-incumbent, the non-rino, and the non-party favorite. Hold nose, register, repub so that you can vote in the primary elections or attend the township caucuses, and take over. Drag your family along, coordinate with you friend, have a tail gate party, barbecue, or hold the local militia formation at the poll or caucus, but flood the polls! That costs nothing and defeats the Anti-Civil Rights movement.
