Despite the fawning coverage, the March had low numbers

[Rooster]

So the news media was all over these children protesting our natural rights to self defense yesterday. The numbers were off the charts, they gushed, but finally CBS coughed up the reality:

http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/25/repor ... count-low/

It was supposed to be the largest rally evah with 600,000, but it ended up being well below expected attendance numbers at 200,000. Cue the sad trombones. I guess when you pick one of the most annoying spokeman in recent memory to be the face of your “revolution” it stands to reason that you’ll turn off most of your target audience.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

I wonder if these "radicals" will march on the palaces of the billionaires that peddle psychotropic drugs and opiates that are dissolving the essence of American youth...

Probably not.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

You don't need guns. You need sodomy...some dank herb...and Netflix.

About 10x more than Trump’s inauguration though.

Let's set aside the lunacy of allowing a bunch of kids to lecture the world about guns without once mentioning the factor of criminals. As for the suddenly Woke student leaders, they seemed possessed of a self-absorption that would glaze the eyes of Narcissus. But what really rankled me about the March (and who paid for that, by the way?), how the fuck can bald chick wear these pants?

It's like something a beggar would wear--but only in desperate times.

Of course, anyone who's ever walked through Little Havana even once understands that simply waving a Cuban flag does not make one a communist: If anything, the opposite seems to be true in America. Cuban right-wingers love the Cuban flag — to them, it represents the hope that the nation will one day be liberated from the Castro family. The Bay of Pigs Veterans Association, the ultraconservative group of counterrevolutionaries the CIA paid to attack Castro in 1961, currently sells T-shirts, hats, mugs, and key chains emblazoned with the Cuban flag. The Bay of Pigs Veterans Association endorsed Donald Trump in 2016.

But...but...but...Obaaaaaaaammmmmmaaaaaa!

Whatever the numbers were (who cares besides Trump and his legions of fellatistas), and I'm sure if you add up DC, LA, Seattle, Denver, NYC, Boston, etc. they were pretty substantial, the fact that so many dickwad morons are out there trying to run them down, and demonizing the organizers with any lame-ass bullshit they can come up with, shows that the whole thing was pretty much a complete success.

Given its high profile, it's easy to assume that the NRA represents the voice of American gun owners. But in fact, the organization's membership numbers and survey data point a different picture. Only a small fraction of the nation's gun owners are NRA members. Even among NRA members, there is widespread dissent from some key points of the organization's orthodoxy. And on many gun control issues, the majority of gun owners who aren't affiliated with the NRA hold opinions closer to those of non-gun owners than to those of NRA members.

Let's start with the membership numbers. In recent years the NRA has said it has 5 million dues-paying members. There's some reason to be skeptical of this figure, but let's assume 5 million is right. Those 5 million members only comprise somewhere between 6 and 7 percent of American gun owners. That would imply that the overwhelming majority of American gun owners -- over 90 percent of them -- do not belong to the NRA.

[BSmack]

Let's not forget that many gun clubs mandate that their members be members in good standing in the NRA. They do this because the NRA throws some goodies, no doubt purchased with laundered Russian money, to the club.

[Diego in Seattle]

On top of that only 13 people ever used the NRA discount offered by Delta Airlines.

5 million, my ass.....

[Bucmonkey]

[Left Seater]

So the number of NRA members is at least 5 times the size of the best estimate of these silly marches.

But just because 83,000,000 gun owners aren't all members of the NRA, doesn't mean those gun owners don't support the 2nd Amendment.

Why do so many of you hate the Constitution?


As for Delta, they are just a hot mess. They pulled the NRA convention discount because they claimed they didn't want to take sides in a divisive discussion. What they really meant is no one was using it so we will put out some corporate communication BS saying we don't take sides. But at the same time they were happy to operate charter flights that filled their pockets from South Florida to DC for the supporters of the march. So they do want to take sides with those who spend money with them. See also their fight against the Middle East Airlines while claiming they get no government subsidies.

The United States is not the UK, Canada, or any other nation. Thank God.

[Goober McTuber]

But just because 83,000,000 gun owners aren't all members of the NRA, doesn't mean those gun owners don't support the 2nd Amendment.

Well, duh. I'm willing to bet that at least 99.99% of the 83,000,000 support the 2nd Amendment (I am one of them). And about 94% aren't supporting the NRA. And none of us hate the Constitution, you silly twat.

And on many gun control issues, the majority of gun owners who aren't affiliated with the NRA hold opinions closer to those of non-gun owners than to those of NRA members.

Now the latest news is that the March for Life, which was supposedly a teenager event, was only marginally attended by young people. The average age of an attendee was just under 49 and whose attendance percentages were 90% of the protesters.

I guess the young people who were supposed to be there must have partied too late to get up in time to protest?

That shows that it's not just teenagers who think it's an important issue. Was everybody else supposed to stay home?

I thought this was supposed to be a child’s revolution where the young and wise were instructing the foolish and intransigent elderly how national movements are done right. Instead, a mere one in ten shows up to protest the thing which— in theory at least —is killing them by the bushel basketful. I’d go so far as to make the unsubstantiated claim that there were a significant number of pussy hats in the audience and that if you could, you’d see the same old tired faces in all the marches covering those issues so near and dear to the Left’s oily black hearts. After all, armed protection for me, but not for thee, comrade. (You can hear the faint echo of that refrain coming from Socialismigrad, Vermont where Commisar Bernie Sanders rails against income disparity. “A dacha for me, but not for thee, comrade!”)

He had a concealed carry permit. It was just from a different state. He just might not even be affected by a number of gun control measures being debated. Yet another Rooster fail.

Her "random" sample size was 256 people in one location. How many tens of thousands marched nationally? The news coverage I've seen does not reflect her numbers.

But, but, but... no one needs a gun— or a CCW permit to carry one!. After all, those are wicked devices that only those weird red staters like to masturbate to. We don’t need those in the great Republik of Kalifornia! Besides, those blue staters are supposed to be more intelligent than those dumb hillbillies in the flyover States, yet he didn’t bother to check reciprocity laws before he went there? I wonder if he owns a flintlock pistol or if the gun is a semiautomatic— you know, like one of those David Hogg wants to ban? After all, who needs more than a smoothbore single shot hand cannon for self defense?

Listen up, you sky-is-falling, braindead, shrieking harpy. Sensible gun control legislation does not mandate that everyone should turn in their guns. Even Emma Gonzalez specifically stated that. And that was not a reciprocity issue. Some states recognize other states conceal carry permits. Some don't.

[Left Seater]

What is sensible to you isn’t sensible to someone else.

Here is my issue. If we are going to limit the size of clips then put the same limit on Police. You want to ban “assault” rifles, then keep the Police from having any as well. What is good for the citizens should be good for the government.

Now that's not sensible at all. It's the job of the police to protect us. It's not the job of some CCW wingnut. And please link us up to the last school mass shooting perpetrated by a police officer.

LS doesn't think the police should be able to outgun criminals. Wouldn't be a fair fight or anything.

That simply isn't true. The main job of police is to maintain order, and of course to help others when feasible. The reality is it's up to individuals to protect themselves.

After Katrina struck many NO police officers vacated the city, leaving residents to help themselves until the National Guard and Feebl...ah FEMA arrived days/weeks later.

The same thing happened after the Rodney King verdict was announced, police vacated the areas in LA where most of the violence was occurring.

The last time one was a factor, he was too scared to shoot anyone, and cowered behind some bushes.

....and who paid for that, by the way?

The “March For Our Lives” rally wasn’t an organic movement of teens holding signs.

It was a coordinated effort by anti-gun activists who have a visceral hate for the Second Amendment, and other leftist groups like “Move On” who hate President Trump, and everything he stands for.

Even worse, Planned Parenthood, an organization who actively seeks to slaughter millions of innocent babies without a blink of an eye, is suddenly interested in protecting life?

In typical leftist fashion, liberals only support the policies they want, their “truth” is relative.

You would have to understand that all these Constitution hating limp wristed liberal faggots are not capable of defending themselves against a fucking spider. They will just roll up in a fetal ball and beg for mercy while waiting for the police to get there 20 minutes later to write a report on how they were robbed, their wife was fucked in the ass, and how their daughter had to suck off three of those felony gangsters in those 20 minutes. Enjoy watching that show.
