Last weekend, over 800,000 people said that enough was enough.
Weeks after the horrific shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, many of its students took to the streets as part of the March of Our Lives, which raised awareness for school violence. Everybody from everyday joes to even Paul McCartney - who marched in front of the apartment where former bandmate John Lennon was killed - gave their word to the politicians and the NRA that it's up to them to end the senseless violence plaguing our country.
It's too bad that many Repukes can't get the message.
Take asshole political cartoonist Glenn McCoy, who recently drew a cartoon portraying Stoneman Douglas student David Hogg as a CNN anchor. In the cartoon, he talked about how the Maryland cop shot a student with a gun, ending an opportunity for him to talk about repealing the Second Amendment.
Hogg was one of the founders of Never Again MSD, the organization created by 19 other Marjory Stoneman Douglas (hence the MSD) students that have condemned politicians and the National Rifle Association for allowing gun violence to continue here in America, one of the violent nations on Earth. Other founders include Emma Gonzalez, Cameron Kasky and Sarah Chadwick, just to name a few.
Some on the right are taking shots at Gonzalez because of her short hair (she's openly bisexual) and the fact that during the March, she wore a shirt with the Cuban flag (her father came to the US from there in 1968). One person even Photoshopped her tearing up the Bill of Rights. Like all other members of the right, they even accused the MSD victims of being crisis actors.
Last weekend, I had a discussion with a Drumpf supporter who claimed that the marches were a stupid idea and that ALL schools need cameras and metal detectors. REALLY?!?! What about schools that have budget issues? Should all teachers be required to carry a gun and shoot at a school shooter?
Folks, there's a better way. We need to outlaw all guns that are above a single shotgun, period. I'm not calling for the revocation of the Second Amendment at all. The Founding Fathers didn't have AR-15s and UZIs in mind when they signed the Constitution at all. The NRA and the right have it all wrong.
The good news is that later this year, many of those at MSD and other high schools will be old enough to vote. It's time to get the old white boys club out of office and get somebody with high IQs in there. Time to get in some politicians who think that ridding ourselves of gun violence is more important than trying to win the so-called war against pornography. After all, there's more strip clubs in Canada vs. the US and the crime rate there is a helluva lot lower than it is here.
Make love, not war.
