Nothing Has Changed Since Parkland!

They'll pass laws on everything but guns.
They can pass laws involving vehicles, animals, cigarettes, vapes, food and traffic control, but nothing to stop gun violence.

Two years ago on Valentine's Day, a white terrorist massacred 17 people at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The terrorist had been angry at the world and felt the need to take lives as quickly as possible.

The shooting got national coverage. It got Donald J. Trump, then governor turned senator Rick Scott and Congress attention. They wanted to do something about the matter but failed it doing it.

Hell, they still fail at doing something.

Now the new governor Ron DeSantis ordered flags to be lowered, moments of silence and empty promises of changing the status quo of gun politics.

Broward County Public Schools had dismissed students early so they can honor the 17 lives lost to that senseless act of terrorism.

Alyssa Alhadeff, Scott Biegel, Martin Duque, Nicholas Dworet, Aaron Feis, Jaime Guttenberg, Chris Hixon, Luke Hoyer, Cara Loughran, Gina Montalto, Joaquin Oliver, Alaina Petty, Meadow Pollack, Helena Ramsay, Alex Schachter, Carmen Schentrup and Peter Wang lost their lives.

Their deaths have also sparked a movement. Founded by the students and alumni of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the March for Our Lives movement was born.

Youth activists David Hogg, Laura Hogg, Sofie Whitney, Matt Deitsch, Delaney Tarr, Jaclyn Corin, Sarah Chadwick, Alfonso Calderon, Cam Kaskey, Emma Gonzalez and Alex Wind created the Never Again MSD and it soon became the March for Our Lives movement. It is an active movement that works on behalf of victims of gun violence. The goal of March for Our Lives is to push Congress to ban semi-automatic firearms and advocate schools to do crisis care for trouble youth.

Their activism was praised by world leaders and activists. However, they had critics.
Emma Gonzalez earned 2 million Twitter followers shortly after her speech condemning Congress and Florida state legislature for not passing gun reform. She calls proposals, thoughts and prayers, BS (bullshit).
With strength came opposition. Hogg and Gonzalez were the two main figures of March for Our Lives movement. They appeared on television frequently. Fox News, owned by Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch wanted to find individuals who opposed gun control.

They found Kyle Kashuv. He became the focal opposition of the March for Our Lives. He often appeared on Fox News and attacked Hogg and Gonzalez. Kashuv was one of the survivors of the shooting. He ended up fading into the limelight after he was caught posting racist insults toward Black and Latino students. He also was under state watch because he wanted to show off his firearms in regards to gun control activists.

Hogg was called a "crisis actor" and gotten death threats from far-white trolls. Even a Fox News agitator mocked him. Laura Ingraham faces an advertiser boycott because of her mocking of Hogg's traumatic experience.

Fred Guttenberg became a vocal activist. His daughter Jaime's death broke him. He personally talked to Trump about how to stop gun violence. Trump at one time was hoping to take semi-automatic firearms off the street. However after talking to the NRA, Trump did an about-face.

March for Our Lives took the fight to the NRA. They called upon a national boycott of companies that had ties to the gun lobby. Many companies had abandoned the NRA and some companies changed their rules when it comes to having firearms in their establishments.

Some states are trying to push for blanket red-flag laws. Florida did pass one but it still hasn't prevented mass shootings from happening. Matter of fact, it's brought more on.

The Parkland massacre is a perfect reminder to why gun violence is an everyday thing.
Change is hard. March for Our Lives will be once again active in 2020.
Every state and U.S. territory has experience some form of gun violence. No other country in the West has this many incidents of gun violence.

So far, the terrorist is facing federal and state charges. He is facing the DEATH card and is currently on suicide watch. He is awaiting trial. He will be having trial in a coming month.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The status quo of the gun culture. Now is not the time to talk about gun violence!

If there were more security guards and more civilians (aka the good guy) with a gun.......

They learn how to use firearms from watching (or listening) to gangsta rap.

They watch violent movies.
White terrorist faces the death penalty for his actions.
They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.

Blah, blah, blah....

Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.

The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.

NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM.

THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY.

RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" MAN FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.

Don't you just want to scream!?

Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."

We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.

I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."

Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.

Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.

It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

THERE IS NO GOD.
