only 50% of American wants further gun control,

that's down from 51% in 2016

which is down from 80% in the 1980s

And that's as of when?

Dates are important.

_after_ the shooting

The loud minority seems to always get their cake, don't they?

50% is _not_ a majority

If the right ever learned from the left on activism and optics, we'd be so fucking far ahead.

I don't know where to go from here, maybe wait for a bit, get stuff on the server done, hopefully the news gets better.

This is a cycle, and it never seems to end.

@FLanon "if the right ever learned from the left on activism and optics, we'd be so fucking far ahead"

in a sense

the left has been fucking up quite a bit on the optics front though

Those kids at parkland knew what they were doing

though I wish more people on the right had the dedication to engage in activism to get candidates elected like the left is doing right now

@FLanon It wouldn't surprise me if they're mostly doing it on their own intiative

kids these days can get very political

I was rather political as a high schooler

it was more abnormal back then, but these days I would have been considered more typical

They got the right idea, optics is much more important than ideas in electoral politics.

now...they're definitely getting propped up by the media

and $

You can have a million infographics, but the masses respond to emotional weeping much easier

It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is.

We've got to have guys with microphones at these rallies asking questions and proving these fucks have no damn clue what they're talking about.

the thing is, that's not really our forte

unless there are people in this chat who have the means to do that

Yeah, that's unfortunate. Infowars should have that at the ready, I think NJF did that with one of these gun control protests yesterday.

They couldnt get "assault weapons" banned

this will dampen their spirits

When will it get to peoples' heads that gun control laws are not "gun control laws" but victim disarmament

All this school shooter shit would be solved if we armed teachers and had armed security guards in schools like certain states are advocating for right now

At least logic won over emotion in Florida today

Trump is banning bump stocks though

So for Florida, logic won. The rest of America? Not quite.

Rip

He shouldnt have bowed to anti gun pressure like that

Did Nikolas use a bump stock at all?

It was because of the las vegas shooting
