http://www.guns.com/2018/02/19/new-from-bloomberg-students-demand-action-gun-control-group/

Pitched as a vehicle to give “students the opportunity to lead the charge against gun violence” Everytown has added a youth group to their umbrella.

The new outlet, Students Demand Action, was announced via social media last week just days after a school shooting in Parkland, Florida claimed the lives of 17.

“Classrooms and college campuses are places for learning, not places to worry about gunfire,” says Everytown about the new initiative aimed at high school and college students.

Formed initially as the non-profit Mayors Against Illegal Guns in 2007 by the consortium founded by then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, the group merged with Moms Demand Action under the Everytown name in 2014 with the help of $50 million from Bloomberg’s pocketbook. The most recent federal filing for the organization available, that from 2015, disclosed over $40 million in contributions.

The offshoot is not the first time national gun control groups have established franchises. The Giffords group has in the past two years established affiliates in a number of states, typically issuing the same prepared statements in each reduplication.

Aren't schools already gun free zones, by law? Why isn't that working?

Almost as if they had all the pieces in place.

I swear this was allowed to happen, the FBI, the left all knew there would be another shooting, they put it all in place, waiting. Now they dance in the blood, cause it makes great news.

If we didn't have Trump, we would all be getting locked. Up.

The leading cause of death among teenagers so I have a workable solution and proposal that will save over 2,300 teenageers each and every year:

all right kids, hand over your driver's licenses...no more driving.

Nope. There is no doubt that this whole movement is being led by well established anti-gun organizations with deep pockets.

That's the question we need need to "demand" answers to. The FBI was informed twice of his threats. What happened? What the hell is going on with that agency? Again, I'm tired of being vilified for who I voted for and now for crimes I haven't committed.

Metal detectors would be a logical solution but since most of the kids calling for action are Liberals, they would be opposed to being searched.

From the communist goals list

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

This is where my conspiracy theory mentality kicks in.

Not that they somehow mind controlled some freak to shoot up a school, that they intentionally "overlooked" this guy despite all the warning signs.
My suspicion is that this guy isn't/wasn't the only one out there.

I think you're right.

Almost all of the mass shootings in the last few years have FBI incompetence as a joining thread between all of them.

At some point, it ceases to be incompetence, and becomes purposeful ignorance - we know the FBI as an organization is anti-gun, so why would they not want as many mass shootings as necessary to push congress to make new laws?
