(TIM) — A law that went into effect in 2017 introduced the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO), which allows law enforcement in the state of Washington to confiscate a gun owner’s firearms if the owner is deemed a threat to themselves or others by a judge.

Parents stormed the Baltimore school-system headquarters in January to demand more heat in classrooms, yet the city will send 60 busloads of children to Washington DC later this month to attend the 'Fight for Our Lives' march. The plan is to provide transportation, lunches, and t-shirts for 3,000 children at taxpayer expense. The purpose of the march is to indoctrinate children to favor gun-control and then use the kids to influence public opinion.
Anti-Second Amendment groups are organizing a National Walkout Day for School Safety on March 14th, and they are encouraging children as young as 9-years-old to participate.

The students at Parkland high school reportedly organized gun-control activism on a national level with a march, a mass school walk-out, and raising one-million dollars from George Clooney and Oprah. In truth, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schulz lobbied the Florida State Legislature, the teacher's union is providing buses, and Michael Bloomberg is organizing the upcoming March For Our Lives, MoveOn.org is promoting the project on social media, and training for student activists is provided by Planned Parenthood. Except for David Hogg, the kids have no idea of what is going on.
President Donald Trump shocked guns-rights advocates by saying that, when people are thought to be mentally unstable, guns should be taken early, without a court order because that takes too long: “Take the guns first, go through due process second.” Judge Napolitano explains that judges are on-call and must be available in two and a half hours in extreme mental-illness cases, so court action and due-process would not be a serious obstacle to public safety.

(ANTIMEDIA) — Very silently — and very temporarily — this week Google appeared to have chosen a side in the gun control debate in the wake of the recent school shooting in Florida that left 17 people dead. Disappointingly, that stance involved censorship of what shoppers using the corporation’s search engine could find online. On Tuesday morning, people shopping […]
