Parkland students: NRA has been 'basically threatening us'
The Hill ^ | March 19, 2018 | Brett Samuels

Two students who survived last month’s high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., said Monday that the leadership of the National Rifle Association (NRA) has “basically threatened” them since they started speaking out about gun violence.

“I think it just goes to prove exactly what they are. I don’t think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they’re responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy,” David Hogg told CBS News.

Just what one would expect from Generation Snowflake. They can yell that the NRA has blood on its hands and compare AR-15 owners to Nazis, but even the mildest fact-based retort is aggression and a threat. They are just used to a mindset where liberal groupthink seeks to shout down opposing viewpoints.

Hogg had NO fear of being shot because he knew Cruz had zero intention on shooting him..he was in on the whole thing

"basically threatened" ... what does that mean? Does that mean I have to drink the kool-aid and don the rose-colored glasses to see things the way this triggered fellow does? This is nothing but more evidence the voting age needs to be raised to match the drinking age.

Couldn't care less what you think of us, camera hog.

Go back to school. You're out of your league.

These little ones have now gone beyond liberal. They're fascist. That 60 Minutes interview they admitted they had guns in their home. They just want to decide who and what guns others can own.

I don't think so.

I think some of these snowflakes might feel a perpetual threat in ordinary everyday living if they were to acknowledge the fact that they are going to die someday, but then that wouldn’t be anything like ordinary everyday living, now would it. For this event to have been a real character-builder, the survivors should’ve been talking more about courage than reliving the fear and terror at every turn. They should learn to look beyond this and realize that life is too short for letting too big a piece of themselves die along with whoever it is they’re grieving for.

I never click on The Hill. I don't like to give leftist websites the click.

However, I clicked this time. I wanted to see an example of their claim.

Nothing. They made a completely baseless claim.

David Hogg recently threatened my life, by the way. He also threatened to rape me. And he told me he'd kill my mother.

Ummmm, BS!

This complete and total bullshit.

I would bet the NRA leadership has not even contacted these people.

They voiced an opposing opinion.

To some people, that is a threat.

“During the Revolution, patriotic farmers buried their guns so the British couldn’t confiscate them.”

Didn’t think of this before, but what protection against the elements would the colonists have used for their buried weapons?

Yep, to Liberals it's a threat.

Wise words, but I doubt that any of this merry little band of narcissists are grieving for their dead classmates. I have seen teenagers experience real loss and grief before, but I just don't see it in this bunch. In place of normal grief, there's something deeply off-putting and disturbing there instead. Satan's hand-puppets.

A shooting war with a mandatory draft and let the snowflake NRA bashers decide if they want to go into battle armed or not.

The best Russian snipers were hunters from Siberia.

America's shooting heritage is important to keep and hold dear in the areas, great swathes of land, that did not vote for Hillary Clinton.
