***** Thousands gather to march for gun control and spark activism

Organizers of the "March for Our Lives" rally in Washington hoped their protest would match in numbers and spirit last year's women's march.


After the Feb. 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, students have tapped into pro-gun control sentiment that has been building for years.

Organizers hope the passions of the crowds and the under-18 roster of speakers will translate into a tipping point starting in the midterm elections this year.

Summoned by high school students swept up in school violence, thousands swarmed into the nation's capital and cities across America on Saturday to march for gun control and ignite political activism among the young.

Organizers of the "March for Our Lives" rally in Washington hoped their protest would match in numbers and spirit last year's women's march, one of the largest Washington protests since the Vietnam era and one that far exceeded predictions of 300,000 demonstrators.

By 11:00 a.m., large crowds had already started to gather in the nation's capital.

Bearing signs reading "We Are the Change," "No More Silence," "Keep NRA Money Out of Politics," protesters lined Pennsylvania Avenue from the stage near the Capitol, stretching back toward the White House.

The route also takes in the Trump International Hotel. President Donald Trump was in Florida for the weekend; a motorcade took him to his West Palm Beach golf club on Saturday morning.
After the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, students have tapped into a current of pro-gun control sentiment that has been building for years -- yet still faces a powerful counterpoint from supporters of gun rights.

Organizers hope the passions of the crowds and the under-18 roster of speakers will translate into a tipping point starting in the midterm elections this year.

People flocked, too, to a "March for Our Lives" event near the Parkland school where the massacre happened. Police presence was heavy as organizers set up and demonstrators streamed in.

Eden Kinlock, 17, came from 20 miles away to pass out water, "a small thing but it helps in the bigger picture." Many Parkland students came to the Washington rally.

Washington is generally nonchalant about protests, but Saturday's gathering prompted more attention and speculation than usual.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Lindsay Walters released a statement on Saturday in support of the protesters.
"We applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their First Amendment rights today.

Keeping our children safe is a top priority of the President¹s, which is why he urged Congress to pass the Fix NICS and STOPSchool Violence Acts, and signed them into law. Additionally, on Friday, the Department of Justice issued the rule to ban bump stocks following through on the President¹s commitment to ban devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns," Walters said in a statement.

The protesters, many of them high school students, claim that the youth leadership of this initiative is what will set it apart from previous attempts to enact stronger gun-control legislation.
Polls indicate that public opinion nationwide may indeed be shifting on an issue that has simmered for generations, and through dozens of mass shootings.

A new poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 69 percent of Americans think gun laws in the United States should be tightened.

That's up from 61 percent who said the same in October of 2016 and 55 percent when the AP first asked the question in October of 2013.

Overall, 90 percent of Democrats, 50 percent of Republicans and 54 percent of gun owners now favor stricter gun control laws.

But even with claims of historic social momentum on the issue of gun control, the AP poll also found that nearly half of Americans do not expect elected officials to take action.

Among the questions facing march organizers and participants will be how to translate this one-day event, regardless of turnout, into meaningful legislative change.

One way is by channeling the current energy into the midterm congressional elections this fall.
Students in Florida have focused on youth voter registration and there will be a registration booth at the Saturday rally.

****** NY gov unveiling bill to remove firearms from those with domestic violence convictions


New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said he will announce legislation Wednesday to remove firearms from people who commit domestic violence crimes.

"Today I am announcing legislation to remove all firearms from those who commit any domestic violence crimes," Cuomo tweeted.

"Given the inextricable link between domestic violence and lethal gun violence, this legislation will require all domestic violence crime convictions, including misdemeanors, to result in the immediate removal of all firearms."

Cuomo said this year will be remembered as "the year of reckoning, when both the tragedy of mass shootings and cultural and institutional harassment of women became impossible to ignore."

"Let's make New York a safer state for all," he said.

Democratic lawmakers have pushed for new gun control measures after a series of mass shootings over the past year, including recent ones in Las Vegas and Texas.

More than 50 people were killed and more than 500 others wounded when a gunman opened fire at a country music festival in Las Vegas in early October. The following month, 26 people were killed after a gunman opened fire on churchgoers attending a Sunday service at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Police identified the suspect in the Texas shooting as Devin Kelley, who was discharged from the Air Force in 2014 for bad conduct after a domestic violence conviction. But the Air Force came under fire for failing to enter Kelley's domestic violence court-martial into a federal database used for background checks on gun sales.

Last month, a Democratic lawmaker introduced a billthat would require the Justice Department to conduct a study examining whether there is a correlation between individuals who have a history of domestic violence and mass shooters.

"If we look at the recent mass shootings in Sutherland Springs, Orlando, and the Congressional Baseball Game practice, we see a noticeable trend: all these shooters acted alone and had prior history of domestic violence," Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) said in a statement in November.

"Studies on the link between domestic violence at the early stages and mass shootings may help us prevent individuals from carrying out these horrific crimes in the future," he added.

OBAMA'S TEARFUL GUN CONTROL LAWS COMPLETES HIS LEGACY, WON'T REDUCE DEATHS (CHICAGO)



OBAMA'S TEARFUL GUN CONTROL LAWS COMPLETES HIS LEGACY, WON'T REDUCE DEATHS:

MORE UNEMPLOYED, FRUSTRATED BLACK MEN WILL BE INCARCERATED OR THROWN INTO MENTAL INSTITUTIONS.

Tuesday, January 5, 2016 while delivering a Tearful Press Conference, Pres OBAMA announced his enactment of new GUN CONTROL laws in the United States via Fiat i.e., Executive Action.

During his new Gun Control laws press conference, Pres OBAMA mentioned several Communities adversely impacted by Gun Violence: Aurora, Colorado.......Sandy Hook, Connecticut......San Bernandino, California and CHICAGO.
***By the way Pres OBAMA only mentioned CHICAGO for one second.
Under OBAMA'S Administration thousands of BLACK Boys & Men in CHICAGO have died via Gun Violence yet he barely mentions CHICAGO.

OBAMA mentioned three Initiatives for his new Gun Control laws.

1). To stop Straw Buyers and Straw Sellers from putting Guns into the hands of Customers who can't pass a Background Check.
2). To ensure everyone who purchases a Gun is in fact subject to a Background Check and can clear a Background Check.
3). To help people who are MENTALLY ILL.

Now let's analyze these Initiatives.

Straw Buyers & Straw Sellers will continue to make Money selling Guns. Moving forward they will just have to do it completely LEGAL.

WHITE People and Middle Eastern citizens with Criminal Records and FELONIES will continue to purchase Guns LEGALLY just as they did before OBAMA enacted new Gun Control laws.

Citizens with NO Civilian Criminal Record and NO apparent signs of MENTAL INSTABILITY/ MENTAL ILLNESS but are actually Psychological walking time bombs, will continue to LEGALLY purchase Guns and KILL innocent people once their Psychological inner time bombs explode.

I perceive MORE Unemployed, Frustrated BLACK Men some of them with prior Criminal Records, will be thrown into Mental Health Institutions and Prisons.

Thus I don't quite see how Pres OBAMA'S new Gun Control laws will help curb Gun Violence in the United States.
Especially in WHITE Communities.

However I do see the number of Unemployed, Frustrated BLACK Men being thrown into Prisons and Mental Institutions increasing.

Dear GOD We Really Need To PRAY & VOTE In November 2016!





For a man who's rarely rattled, this was a powerful display of emotion.

President Barack Obama has been recorded crying only a handful of times while in office, and this may very well have been the most poignant.

The president took executive action on gun reform Tuesday in a move that he seemed to feel was long overdue.

When discussing the deaths of shooting victims – particularly the first-graders murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 – the president was overcome with emotion.

"Our unalienable right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness – those rights were stripped from college students in Blacksburg and Santa Barbara, and from high schoolers at Columbine, and from first-graders in Newtown. First-graders," he said, pausing and tearing up.

"Every time I think about those kids it gets me mad.
And, by the way, it happens on the streets of Chicago every day."
