The Disgusting "March for Our Lives" Movement

I have two post today on the "March for Our Lives" that I want to highlight.  But I don't have a lot of time, so I am going to depend on readers to read both of them.  The first is from Daniel Greenfield over at Sultan Knish entitled Who Runs March for Our Lives? His first words were "Follow the money." Greenfield then takes us on a journey through shadowy 501(c)4 organizations, various professional groups who provide talent, public relations, and legal services, as well as Hollywood celebrities and of course Michael Bloomberg. This is not an organic march like the Tea Party groups, or, more pointedly an organic organization who derives its funding and its mission from member donations and dues like the NRA. This is a false front group posing as member driven organization in order to try to overturn the existing order.

It’s a strange political fact, but nearly every major anti-gun group has been a front group. The NRA is maligned 24/7 and yet it’s completely obvious whom it represents. Despite the efforts to tie it to everyone from firearms manufacturers to the Russians (if you can’t tie any random Republican thing to the Russians these days, you won’t be working at the Washington Post or CNN for very long), it represents its five million members. Anti-gun groups tend to represent shadowy networks.

Take Everytown, the noisiest and most dishonest anti-gun group on the scene. The one consistent thing about anti-gun groups is that that they are usually the opposite of what their name says they are.

Everytown for Gun Safety was formed out of two other groups: Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both are actually front groups for Michael Bloomberg, the lefty billionaire and former boss of the Big Apple, who used New York City resources to host at least one of its websites.

So Everytown is really New York City.

We know who supports the NRA. You can see NRA stickers on car windows even in the bluest cities in the country. But who really supports the anti-gun political network? You’ll need to spend hours sorting through paperwork, following the trail, comparing addresses and researching names, to even get a hint.

That’s what an illegitimate lobby thwarting the will of the people really looks like.

Instead of March for Our Lives, maybe it’s time to March for the Truth?

With that as a background we no go to Kevin McCullough over at Townhall.com where he disgustedly posts The Stupidity of 'March for Our Lives'.

The virtue signaling over one’s disagreement with “A March For Our Lives” reached fever pitch with the culmination of Saturday’s event.

Even though they have little more than a junior high level of education under their belt. The political left, driven by a leftist media, and financed by uber-rich and hard-left celebrities are willing to use them, and to continue to use them to advance their socialist utopia ideals. (One of the primary ideas of which has always included disarming the masses.)

Even though first year grad school students have literally multiple times the actual knowledge on the issues pertaining to the social science of guns, their effects, and the good and bad attributed to their owners, the lazy media continue to treat these five kids as though they have PHD’s.

If anyone questions it, the virtue signaling begins.

And you can bet that virtue signalling has been coordinated by these same organizations, no doubt with bots that allow a few trolls to appear as an army. Disgusting.

Yesterday, at my grand daughters archery tournament, the mother of the girl who was scoring with my grand daughter in the same lane had a long red tee shirt with "Everytown for Gun Sense emblazoned on it.  Little did she know that I had a concealed gun on my belt.  We of course spoke pleasantries, and were civil, as one should be in these circumstances.  But I thought of how many people around her and her precious daughter might be carrying at any given time, and she would be oblivious to it all.

Here's the thing, though, those of us who choose to carry do not do so out of a desire to be aggressive or offensive.  We do it because reality demands it.  If we could magically get rid of guns, knives, swords, and really anything that can be used to murder another, we would do it in a heart beat.  But since Cain killed Able with a rock, and we can not eliminate the rocks of the earth, Some men choose to become killers of their own kind.  It is what it is, and one either faces reality to deal with it or one tilts and windmills.
