Watched a lot of the coverage yesterday and today. I've no problem with peaceful assembly and protest, I mean it's a constitutionally protected right but talk about uninformed. Like anything else you can edit for content it might be biased but saw this guy on FNC who interviewed some of the folks protesting in D.C. Yesterday. Take about uninformed.
There were young people advocating for "universal background checks" but when asked what a UBC was they didn't know but we need them. They wanted to ban "assault weapons" but when asked what an assault weapon was they didn't know. He asked several of them what the 2nd Amendment was and they either didn't know or just new it was outdated. Some even went so far as to say the constitution was outdated and needed to be rewritten or eliminated all together as it was no longer necessary.
One young lady sad she found it unbelievable that you could sell a gun in a parking lot and not even update the registration. Does she think it's a car or something? Quite a few said it was too easy for anyone to get a gun but didn't know what the existing process was, just that it was too easy.
It was very obvious and sad that most of them had no real knowledge of the constitution, bill of rights, existing gun laws or even the extent or scope of the changes they were demanding. Just along for the ride I guess.
