That speech by Gonzalez is amazing, especially for someone her age. She knew when to pause and didn't try to talk over the crowd, and had command of the crowd at the end.

Most of Congress isn't that good at public speaking... and she's still in high school.

Not to mention, she gave that speech through tears. Incredible stuff.

Well you were freerolling him since you already knew

**** these people. They chose to dedicate their lives to selling weapons of death to the highest bidder. They are complicit

I wanted to cry at the speech, and I wasn't even sure why. Just gripping stuff, and pretty much perfect in terms of addressing all the evil NRA/Republican talking points.

Yeah, I don't mind getting free-rolled because this guy is a old lawyer in one of my alumni mailing lists, dunking on him has gotten old so absolutely humiliating him is worth it. This is a group filled with people we both personally know (I haven't met this particular guy in person myself, we were both members of the same commune separated by ~20 years or so).

not really, when we started this all that we knew about was the nazi group that claimed him and then kinda walked it back.

I want that one w trump et al instead of uncle sam

Gonzalez 2020. George Lucas can be her running mate.

It's starting. Top GOP donor is refusing to donate unless Republicans do something with gun control.

On the other hand, what a country we live in when a rich donor makes headlines by not donating.

Yeah, there were tears when I saw it last night.

I do have two daughters.

Those kids are awesome. Speech was amazing.

The fact that it is inevitable that she will be doxed by the rightwing and attacked by thousands of trolls within a week or two however is soul destroying.

NRA leadership forum may 4th this year awkward.

Yeah that was a great speech.

We caught a small break that this time, the victims were old enough to be articulate and on Twitter.

I’m thinking with how poised and motivated these kids are we can get Hannity, and subsequently Trump, to call it a hoax? He already takes fringe positions and loves playing to his stupid base, this would make him pay for it, people are legit angry.

Dude spittin' hot fire. I'm gonna guess this is not a Sinclair station.

Your guess is correct.

He's gone viral in the past IIRC, with similar messages

9 and under baseball team is Missouri is raffling off an AR-15

Meanwhile on chiefsplanet, most of the normies have all left the FL shooting thread and the gun nuts are spiking the football.

This guy probably doesn't even realize he's making the best argument for just smashing the 2nd amendment.

Should have made the victims children and Uncle Sam the GOP elephant.

Still amazing.

Couldn't help myself from trying to unpack this

Well if rockymtnchief says it's not the problem...Even way before Charles Whitman came along?

Well if it wouldn't be his choice for close quarter killing then...huh? Does his opinion carry extra weight on this subject? (And why does he say "shooting", as if this is a situation requiring professionalism or some ****?)

These observations may be fairly accurate, but why "just"? If they're just copy-cat dip****s then...what? The murders aren't as important, or impressive, or something, if the murderer isn't smart? Do the victims of a dip**** not count as much as the victims of a criminal mastermind?

I'm trying to imagine I'm this moron and I don't get his point wrt Uzis and Mac-10's. They're (apparently) still around, and they're (apparently) no longer scary, therefore...what? In time AR-15 hysteria will pass and life will be good?

I don't disagree with this.

My favorite arguments I've been hearing are about how the killers would have just gone to the black market to purchase their gun. Like Adam Lanza was going to just go down to the Bronx, and pick up a few AR-15's.
