In reply to the discussion: Florida House votes down motion to take up weapons ban with Douglas students present [View all]LenaBaby61

Thuglicans play for KEEPS, and they'll play past DIRTY to WIN.
MOST don't care about the quality of life outside of their OWN lives. Those kids gotta grow a steel of spine to get down and dirty in the sludge put that is the GOP if they're gonna make a dent in the POWER that the NRA has over them (GOP). These kids are not going to back off or shut up, so there's that thankfully
But as it stands now, I don't see anything being done in a legislative way being done about gun violence anytime soon. thuglicans have all of the power and these kids can't vote .... YET. But then again even if they do vote, will their votes be counted fairly by thuglicans? We know that something always goes wrong down there in Florida as it relates to voting where Democrats are concerned, and thuglicans control every apparatus of voting from the collecting and tallying of votes there. Plus, thuglicans NOW have the help of their friends the ruskies (Who this DOJ won't stop from meddling in our 2018 mid-terms) if they can't do all of the things they wanted to do to get rid of Democratic votes.

I hope they mark down all 71 who voted against even considering hearing arguments.

They need to do it at the local level. Starting with a state republican house is worthless.
