Excerpts:
As Senator Marco Rubio learned last night at a CNN forum with Parkland students and others, the only way to survive such evenings — after being pilloried and subjected to catcalls for refusing to ban assault weapons or stop taking contributions from the NRA — is to pledge to rethink measures one previously opposed, such as banning various gun magazines or raising the age for legally purchasing a weapon. But if he thinks doing so will get him or his party out of the crosshairs of a movement engaged in demagoguery aimed at shaming opponents, he’s kidding himself.

That’s something other Republicans need to keep in mind as they prepare to dodge and weave in the face of activists who are interested not in debate about the efficacy of the measures they endorse but rather in issuing blanket demands that will effectively silence gun-rights supporters.

If what happened at Parkland is enough to cause the country to change its view of constitutionally protected rights, that’s a debate worth having. But until that happens, conservatives shouldn’t be fooled into believing a few clever tactical retreats, like those of Trump or Rubio, will satisfy their opponents or free them from being attacked by sympathetic gun-violence survivors. In such a political environment, backing down will be just as perilous as standing firm. […] – Jonathan S. Tobin, writer at National Review.

How ’bout you folks start by cleaning up your OWN respective industries which peddle AND glorify endless Violence in all forms just to line your fat pockets with “Mo Money” Mo Money “Mo Money.”

Until you people do that, you’re nothing but cynical and shameless Hypocrites.
