However, it's not totally honest, in that those Senators also work for those who don't want any form of gun control legislation.

Take a look at the pictures of the kids. About 50% are from Newton Conn. and all white. About 80% of the remaining kids from various cities are kids of color.

I guess you could say it took the killing of a lot of white kids in a suburban setting to galvanize the progressive liberals to put something like this together.

You didnt expect them to use one of the hundreds of innercity ethnic gang members that kill each other every day did you?

Of course we knew that already when it comes to the kidnapping of a child of color vs. a white child. The press is typically all over the later.

First, it's a very visually unappealing website. What are websites supposed to do from the start, grab your attention. It looks like it was put together in less than an hour.

Second, what message do you want to send. You know the initial message it sent to me, and it wasn't a good one.

Third, you vet this shit before you send it out. I know they are in the non-profit business, but hey, sometimes think and perform like you are working for IBM.

Fourth, and this is just me, but it was created by a bunch of white people. Look at the bottom and check the names of the collaborators. There is one last name of Phu, probably Vietnamese. So you can see why the content and structure is the way it is.

I pretty much did what the OP suggested: scroll down to the bottom. I can't disagree with anything you've said. However, I did find it dishonest for the reason I stated.

But then again, I think the class of that type of person has already been shown through history...

So it's just OK when the kids are dead to make a point.

But since you wanted the kids alive, here you go with some kids associated with the Sandy Hook shootings.  

Is this better?

It's a nice theory, to think of all our teachers being well coordinately, well training in the use of guns, and have their everyday act together. However, I've known plenty of teachers, who regularly lose their keys, lock themselves out of their cars, and are just plain forgetful spazzes. Good luck with that theory.

"So it's just OK when the kids are dead to make a point."

My point was how using children, dead or alive equates being like Hitler.  

The right uses our child, all the time, to justify policies of economic austerity. What's the argument they use; we are going to bankrupt our nation to the point that our children and grandchildren will suffer. Now, to me it's much the same ploy, and yet a reasonable fear; just as much so as it is for those who want what they view as more reasonable guns control measures, out of fear that if we don't do so, another Columbine or Sandy Hook may occur.

It's just plain wrong when kids are used as political pawns.

There are some that would be capable, that very deturant might stop some of these shootings. Just the fact that a teacher might be armed would give these x box war hero wannabes pause. I'll make the same argument I've made before if you trust them to teach and mold your children you should be able to trust a few per school to protect them. Some teacher s now have CCP, legal CCP holders have been shown to just as safe LE with accidental shootings being almost nonexistant. With some of the triger protection methods available for firearms today the down side is miniscule compaired to the up side.

if their was an anti-gun coalition that padded their pockets more than the NRA does.

  If NAMBLA paid politicians what the NRA/gun industry does; pedophilia would already be legalized.

  Face it; current American democracy doesn't even come close to "democracy"

Whether you think it's right or wrong is not the issue I brought up. The issue is, how does it have anything to do with being like Hitler?

when you think about it, you could argue that using dead children makes them worse than Hitler.

and take to newspaper editorials, etc., and see how many people support your "simple train of logic!" I hope you include all politicians who have posed with babies and small children, while running for or while in public office, as your picture of Hitler was depicted as doing.  ;)
