    These kids are simply incredible. They’re using that natural fearlessness that comes with being a teenager, that most of us wasted on doing donuts in the parking during lunch or on smoking in the bathroom, to take on the fucking NRA.

    They’re welcome on my lawn anytime.

    Instead of thinking that this is great, my first reaction was how the right was going to spin this: “He doesn’t even live in the United States!” It’s so toxic now that something wonderful like this will have garbage thrown all over it.

      They’ve already said that the left has “hijacked” the students’ movement and are actually the ones planning the march, and that their goal is to destroy the 2nd Amendment.

      There’s a lot going on there, but the thing that pisses me off the most is that they’re dismissing the students’ abilities and determination. They’re acting like they’re just kids playing at being adults, or something. That they’re being used by shameless adults to further some kind of radical agenda.

      The fact that they’re underestimating the intelligence and strength of young people - and the fact that they’ve grown up in a world of instant communication and ability to plan from all over the country - will be Washington’s undoing, I think. Who do they think was sitting at those lunch counters in the 60's? Who do they think was marching at Kent?

    If that money is going to be used to buy back our elected officials, it just might work. After all, that’s the only thing they seem to care about.

      There was an article I read yesterday that pointed out that their giving to politicians might not be what’s really driving their tendency to win; they have created a whole lifestyle around gun ownership, propped up by, just as an example, their own NRA TV. He doesn’t suggest that gun control advocates start their own channel, necessarily, but that a TRUTH-style campaign might be effective. Can I find it?...I can/did! https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/02/19/why-the-nra-always-wins-217028

    This woman represents pretty much of what is wrong with today’s society. Promoting ridiculously priced fashion and satanic values is a slap in the face to the decent, hardworking people, who would never be able to afford that lifestyle. The poor people, she supposed to stand for. This woman is too shallow and too narcissistic to see, that her behaviour is appaling. There are no glamourous human right lawyers, because there are no things, like “lovely criminaIs”, etc. She is just a brainIess iIIuminati shiII. – Imho., Here, Trinidad and Tobago, 21 hours ago

    I’m glad to hear that Amal Clooney and her husband (some actor, apparently) are donating to this cause.

    Basically flushing money down a toilet. One of the most ridiculous concepts of the 20th century (and today) is that “Raising Awareness” (especially of issues that everybody is damn well aware of already) actually accomplishes anything other than polarizing people on opposite sides of an issue, cementing their views into place, and insuring that nothing gets accomplished.

    Take that money, hold a week-long summit and invite some of the more reasonable (and less self-promoting) lawmakers from both parties, and set a goal to discuss a practical and pragmatic way to prevent school shootings.

    In other words, bring people together rather than forcing them to fight.

      You don’t remember the ‘60s at all, do you?

    Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw are also matching the various $500,000 donations

    So does that mean Steven Spielberg also donated $500,000 or $1 million?
