First make 'em sign affidavits that they're not FPP's.
So, OUR SIDE needs to come up with the big picture. Need to get a view from above or a distance, showing how few there are. We need a shot of "nothing" on the route, showing how they never really marched. We need to take over with the hashtags on Facebook and Instagram. Like it or not, face it, this is how the young people today communicate, so we need to get with the times, or they will just blow right past us.
See above. We need to get our own young supporters out there with signs, and get the photos online. We need to permeate and penetrate the online media and make our presence known! This whole "I give up" mentality is a recipe for failure, and I think everyone reading this knows it. I have no space in my life for all the downers and "no-no's" with the "I give up" attitudes. You gotta stay positive and keep trying, and then try harder if necessary. We need to beat them at the game.
They should turn on their sprinklers and go inside. If S&W really WANTED help, they should reach out, and they should be able to KNOW they would get it if they would only ask.
LOL
Every day you spend on the range is a day not wasted. Consider it a really good investment for the nearest future!

This country is missing draft!
Can somebody stop these cute kids and let them march on Boston right now. We have some serious emergency there which requires their immediate attention:
Suspects Arrested in a Drug and Gun Sweep Include a Former Staffer for Michelle Wu
The group of 29 suspects in a massive gun and drug sweep in Boston and Brockton includes a former staffer for Boston City Councilor Michelle Wu, officials announced Thursday.
The aide, Gary Webster, served as director of constituent services for Wu beginning in 2014. The councilor’s office says it last employed him in August of 2017, before he left to take a job with the Boston Planning and Development Agency as a project manager. He has since been placed on unpaid leave.

When I finished the high school I had 2 choices. Either I will go and study at the university or my butt will be in the military for 2 years. That was such a great motivation! Hogg would be polishing floors in the mess hall instead of marching against our rights.

Proud of the students in Massachusetts who are marching to keep gun violence issues in the national spotlight. These students give me tremendous hope for our country's future.

You give me just the opposite feeling Seth.

They went Route 9 and then 67 to 20. I saw 4 "adult" women at 1:45 in West Warren laughing & giggling (50 mile Tee shirts) over their tablets and phones. They came in for a pit stop then got in their cars, one had an RV, and take off. Someone came in around 2:30 or so & said he saw a handful of kids go by.

He wouldn't even make a good human shield.
One more for ya:
Capuano and Pressley squabble over NRA pledge
Vikiana Petit-Homme, executive director of March for Our Lives Boston, said Capuano balked at the pledge after traveling Friday morning to Brookfield, more than an hour outside Boston, to encourage the marchers and bring them coffee and donuts.
“He said they most likely wouldn’t give him money, and he wouldn’t accept money, but he doesn’t sign pledges,” Petit-Homme, a 17-year-old student at Boston Latin Academy, said in an interview. “He doesn’t do pledges.”
----------
Petit-Homme said Capuano agreed to two of the group’s other demands: to publicly denounce Springfield gunmaker Smith & Wesson for shipping guns out of state that are illegal for sale in Massachusetts, and to form a youth-of-color advisory council within six months of his new term.

He did not get accepted to any of the colleges he applied to last I heard.
There we go! One idiot lends them a plane and another idiot gives them money and yogurt. New England as we all know it, nothing has changed with The Patriot Nation:
Developer enters showdown with Smith & Wesson over gun control - The Boston Globe
John Rosenthal has Smith & Wesson in his sights.
The developer could just spend his time focused on his long-awaited Fenway Center project, which is finally underway. But he’s also cofounder of Stop Handgun Violence, and there’s some marching to be done. His group has helped 30 or so teens organize a walk from Worcester to Springfield, a journey that will culminate on Sunday with a rally in that city and then a protest at the headquarters of Smith & Wesson parent American Outdoor Brands.
------------
It wasn’t always this way between Rosenthal and the state’s most well-known gunmaker. They worked together amicably toward a goal of making guns safer in the late 1990s, he says, under former CEO Ed Shultz. Like other gun companies, Smith & Wesson faced suits or threats of litigation over gun deaths at the time. But Smith & Wesson did something different: It agreed to a long list of reforms in early 2000, including a promise to develop “smart guns” with owner-recognition technology. The company was instantly shunned by the rest of the industry. Sales plunged. And Shultz was out.
Rosenthal says he tried several times to reconnect in recent years, but the company has gone quiet under current chief James Debney. The marching teens probably won’t get their demands met this weekend. But maybe the lines of communication can be opened again. That, to Rosenthal, would be an important step in the right direction.
50 Miles More: Students to march from Worcester to Springfield with a message for Smith & Wesson
Rosenthal's "Stop Handgun Violence" organization is the fiscal sponsor of the march.
Rosenthal, together with the late Michael Kennedy (son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy), founded Stop Handgun Violence in 1994 after learning some of the devastating statistics behind fatal shootings of children. Rosenthal said his work had an impact, helping push Massachusetts to ban assault weapons and, more recently, copycat assault weapons.
The activist owns guns and enjoys skeet shooting, but is firm on his opposition to assault-style weapons. After 2.5 decades working against gun violence, Rosenthal said he has seen the problem grow worse on a national level.
"What I do know is the student movement, the March for Our Lives movement, if sustainable, will change Congress," Rosenthal said.
"There will be 3-4 million new voters this November who may just vote on this issue. It may become a single-voter issue, just like gun rights."
----------
The dozens of students walking in the Massachusetts 50-mile march will be led by police escorts in each community they pass through and will sleep in different places along the way. At each stop there will also be educational sessions like non-violence training, according to Somerville's Jack Torres.
The group has been fundraising and reaching out to local communities to try to secure food and lodging. Some regional businesses like Stonyfield, an organic yogurt maker in Londonderry, New Hampshire, donated funds and yogurt, said Torres.

They had hoped to get hundreds if not thousands of marchers in MA and the northeast.
They got about two dozen and this was with adult support and wealthy donors.
This will wear them down.

If these sheep keep it up, in a few years they may encounter another "fence or wall around the property and a gated entrance" where the guards are more than serious about their jobs, and not particularly cheerful fellows. Sort of like that kind that was around in the late 30's and early 40's.
We need to send Jesse Watters in to "interview" them. LOL.
He's talking about the formula for success. It starts with trying. That starts by not giving up before you start, and so on.
Or like so many other gun control people, he will get busted for illegal gun use.
