What if our politicians werent the bitch of the NRA, Hogg said.
Noir responds to Hoggs comment with a string of his own questions, including: What if we didnt exploit the trauma of kids to push a political agenda? What if the media actually covered the kids that completely disagree with you? What if we had put armed guards in every school in America five years ago when the NRA first pushed for it?
Noir goes as far as to suggest that teachers should be armed with AR-15s the weapon the Parkland shooter used to kill 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month, despite the presence of an armed guard there.
What if the football coach who heroically sacrificed his life had an AR-15 instead of empty hands? Noir says, referring to Aaron Feis, an assistant football coach who died shielding Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students.

Fuck the NRA.

(82,849 posts)Why don't you try that sometime, NRA? The survivors of a gun massacre have the audacity to speak up on their own behalf, and the NRA exploits their trauma for their own political agenda. Then the NRA has the brass to complain about the survivors, who watched their friends and classmates gunned down right before their eyes.
If you belong to the NRA, their actions are your actions.
