The courts say the Parkland kids agenda is largely compatible with the Second Amendment

[ehrnst]

The student organizers of the March for Our Lives have released a five-point policy agenda that they say will reduce the toll of gun violence in the United States.

While many gun-control opponents have attempted to frame the march as an “attack” on the Second Amendment, the organizers'’ policy agenda is striking most of all for the modesty of its scope — just five items, consisting mostly of policies that federal courts have ruled to be wholly compatible with the Second Amendment.


1. Fund gun violence research
2. Strengthen the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
3. Universal background checks
4. A high-capacity magazine ban
5. A ban on assault weapons

1. Their 5 points, pretty simple and staight forward.

A March 2018 Quinnipiac poll found 61 percent support for a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons, including 49 percent support among gun owners.

2. KISS...keep it simple, stupid...

These kids are savvy and impress more every day. Especially have to love how well they handle the usual bullshit from the right wing and the NRA.

3. The first four have a good chance of passing

insisting on an AWB will ensure none do. Lets not forget what happened post-Sandy Hook.

5. "This guy wants to buy a Death Star"

"What makes him think he can own a Death Star?"
"Second Amendment Rights."
"What's he want it for?"
"Target practice."
