Let me ask, did a certain thought just pop in your head, especially after the previous post? Anyway, let’s let people who eat Tide pods and escape to their safe spaces over Words decide the Second Amendment
Gun Control Groups Mailing Birthday Voting Forms to 18-Year-Olds
A coalition of gun control and progressive millennial outreach groups will be mailing teenagers a present for their 18th birthday: a voter registration form.
The coalition is targeting vulnerable pro-gun Republicans in 10 states with the Our Lives, Our Vote drive and hopes to register 50,000 18- and 19-year-olds through the initiative ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
States where teens can expect a birthday voting package include Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
“America’s children took to the streets and led marches with a unified message that rang out across the country: we need a Congress that will protect us,†former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said in a statement Thursday.
Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and former astronaut, co-founded a lobbying group and PAC in Giffords’ name that supports candidates and policies promoting more gun control. Giffords was shot and nearly killed in 2011 at a constituent event in Arizona.
She is joined in the effort by Everytown for Gun Safety, a partnership of more than 1,000 current and former mayors in the U.S., and NextGen America, a liberal group funded by billionaire hedge fund manager Tom Steyer that is focused on turning out millennials in 2018.
Here’s the first thought that went through my mind: where’d they get all the data on all these kids who are turning 18? People want to freak out over Facebook, Google, and so forth snagging our data, most of which is simply for advertising, but, here are anti-gun groups who essentially obtained data on minors, citizens who are legally children, in order to mail them a voter registration card for their birthday. If we want to discuss invasion of privacy, this is it. Someone in the government should be asking these groups where they obtained the data.
Anyhow, when will Giffords, Steyer, and Mike Bloomberg (who runs Everytown) give up their own firearms/armed security? The very thing they want to deny to other law abiding citizens.
Nothing new here. Children have long been a target for Democrats. They are easy to manipulate.
Why are conservatives opposed to citizens voting?
The 18 year olds won’t vote. The Demos just want their names on the voter roles.
Wonder how the 18 year olds that are receiving a rifle or shotgun as a present for their birthday will vote. Their first hunting trips with their own gun…
Our hunting group is made up of 14 to 72 yr olds. I can’t speak for the 14 yr old but the voters in our group are libs, and support sensible firearms regs. Not all shooters are NRA Con extremists. Our group hunts deer, turkey, quail, squirrels and duck. And sometimes coyotes and feral hogs! (Although the MO Dept of Conservation now discourages hog shooting).
The AR-15 line of rifles are good for killing feral hogs.
Your state government is against killing jobs are you serious. I can now see why you are so stupid with that gene pool.
Leftists have an innate desire to be controlled, to be returned to being subjects, so no surprise on any kind of more government control.
Jobs is hogs, dumb kindle
