Despite recent progress in the fight for gun safety, President Trump is now caving on his support for strong ‘background checks,’ after pressure from NRA Chief, Wayne LaPierre. Tyah Roberts, former Parkland student, criticizes the NRA, saying their interest is not to ‘protect responsible gun owners,’ but to help the ‘gun manufacturers.’

Parkland Activist: NRA's 'Blood Money' In Gun Companies' Pockets | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
As we’ve been forced to note, far *too many* times…
Our nation needs a new name, properly befitting our ‘#1 status’ in gun-related violence. And so…
“Welcome to Ammo-merica…Good Luck…!” 🙄
@Emily Moss My channel is on private, I did that so you internet fiends can’t roast me while I oppose your opinions.
CynAnne1, How about “If you don’t Like Liberty more than Safety Get the Fuckoutistan”?
Putrid puerilities from #45’s febrile followers…? 🤔
How *utterly* …unsurprising. 🙄
Not #1.
*’Yes’* we are, abby…read for yourself. 📑

And ‘you’re welcome’, in advance. 😏
“thoughts and prayers” have been totally useless…
it is time to do something different…

The 56 PDF’s indexed at this website are being released by a subgroup in the CIA using Miles W Mathis as a cover to front the project – they prove all mass shootings are fake, among other things. In some instances it was necessary to disable the links and render them black, you will have to copy and paste them into Google or a web browser in order to be connected.

The article *isn’t* a ‘joke’, David. 🤨
But feckless #45’s *’promises’* to the grieving families from FL, OH and TX *are* ‘jokes’…and ghoulish ones, at that.👎
It’s pathetic how congress uses legislation votes to decide how much they care about the opinions, feelings and lives of their constituents. #TermLimitsForCongress
well then it would go so good for many in LA Detroit and NYC,.. ether jus saying that all
Agreed! They are too comfortable and bought and paid for by corporations. Not all of them, but enough that we the people need to wake up and vote them out.
I’m so upset about guns that I’m going to freebasesomecoke and crash my car into a train
OK !
doing the same thing and expecting a different result IS insanity. You won’t get anything done going through the process, it hasn’t worked and we have a mass shooting every day. You want change, buy a law that removes lobbying.
When are you people gonna open your eyes? Haven’t you noticed it is the Republicans who refuse to speak up, and Republicans who back Trump all the way? It isn’t “Congress won’t do something”. It is REPUBLICANS are blocking! Mitch McConnell! Republican voters! Good God, people. It isn’t all of Congress! It’s been ONE party all along! Wake up!
The left just keeps nipping at conservatives. They’re going to be in for a shock come 2020
dat boi, These Progressives are doing a pretty good job of alienating moderates, unaligned, Democrats, and liberals too.
How is the NRA responsible for parkland and not the FBI and Broward country sherries department for ignoring the multiple trips they took to his house.
Where to start? How about: 1) Buying pro-gun politicians, 2) Active campaigning against gun safety candidates, 3) Obstructing at a state and federal level any and all attempts to institute safety regulation, 4) actively campaigning against gun safety laws in other jurisdictions – eg Australia and NZ. No the NRA didn’t pull the trigger in any instance of gun violence. But it has contributed actively and deliberately to the circumstances where mass shootings are both more possible and have ever increasing lethality. They are the leading player in fostering not only the gun culture in the US, but also the fears that provide a fig leaf justification for a heavily armed populace (“criminals will write the laws” and similar BS). Police incompetence at a global level rates pretty low down on the list of factors for all it might (as you suggest) been an issue at Parkland. I do incidentally wonder to what extent local laws constrained what the police could do. I don’t know, but given the NRA’s track record, I should be surprised if they weren’t at play in that as well.
LairdDougal So which part of a lawsuit do you not understand? You do understand that attempting to create illegal legislature/laws does not come without consequences right?
How is it wrong for them to fund pro gun politicians but not wrong for planned parenthood?
The NRA supported banning of bumpstocks and a few other things. You can’t simply blame the NRA for using common sense, statistics and data for their position against gun laws. You also can’t simply ignore the corruption behind many gun laws that do no harm to criminals and only subject law abiding citizens to control. Such as:
California’s pistole grip ban
California’s magazine capacity ban
California’s bullet button restriction
California adjustable stock ban
The federal ban on suppressors
Obscured laws to only lawyers understand classifications of what makes a weapon legally a rifle or pistol. And then lawyers are still confused because the horrible bias and uneducated position lawmakers burden us with.
LairdDougal Did you know that having a rifle with a barre at a specific shortened length classifies it as a “pistol”, all while maintaining the looks and features of a rifle? These are some of the laws legal gun owners have encountered that lead us to go 100% against gun laws. Nobody cares about saving lives when your out here banning cosmetic features, and redefining words to fit a narrative.
The NRA didn’t create “Gun Free” zones to provide murderers a safe killing environment .
Sounds fake, like Sandy Hook
+10
Sheer ignorance. “I feel this way, you should too!”
Give me a break!
everyone that dies is giving their life for the united states constitution for people to have the right to play with guns.
the dead kids and random people are more patriotic then gun owners or the NRA could ever hope to be.
even though same people who claim to be the real patriots like to claim they are the real patriots and those that die arent real and are made up and actors. sickos. fragile ego’s.
Parkland should have never happened Israel or his deputies were called to that pyscopaths house 29 times they failed to act the blood is their hands!!!!! Gun laws do nothing we have 20,000 laws on the books now !!!! Law abiding people should not lose rights over the acts of madmen!!!!! Stop stealing Americans rights and start dealing with the real,problem!!!!!
Aman brother👍👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks Tyah Roberts, Former Parkland Student; and Co-founder of Gun-safety Group: “March For Our Lives.” Thanks for your activism and contributions!💖💕
What do you do in the case of an armed robbery at your home?
5:00 The NRA is a member funded and run lobby IRS records prove this.
The NSSF is the industry lobby you lying DemocRAT.
Just today happened in CA, people lost their lives
I guess is Parkland actually happened then more people would probably be worried about it… there is no way that all of those people ran in and out of the building with no blood tracks on their feet… there is no way that this coverage happened without showing body bags carrying children out… wake up America, quit drinking the Kool-Aid!!
You want gun safety? Buy a gun and protect yourself.
That’s how the idiots do it.
@Mister Hat The idiots are the ones who pull the trigger first and think about the consequences later.
@Alex G And a gun protects you from that how? Just owning one resurrects you from the dead so you can seek revenge? Those who think a gun magically protects them are idiots.
“COLD DEAD HANDS” you fools would do well to remember this. enough talking to you sissy soy boy cuckold’s. I’m out.
Sad using deaths for anti 2nd Amendment propaganda.
Excellent work, young Tyah.
