How do you bring ethnic diversity to a show that literally has no ethnicities because they're trains. They don't even have skin pigmentation. Where -- was there some concern that the show had racist undertones? Because, Sir Topham Hatt clearly is white, but the trains? I mean, I’m looking at this picture and I’m really, really struggling to understand how in the world there isn’t any diversity in any of this. Oh, was it because, I see it. It was the white hoods.

And she now claims that she has the texts and the videos to back it up. But despite that, the DNC has barely said a word. Their "believe all women" mantra suddenly seems incapable of making a dent in that silence. And in fact Ellison still seems to be on excellent terms with the party, securing the nomination for Minnesota attorney general just yesterday. Now the only thing that the DNC has said is that they’re, quote, “looking into it.” For what? Evidence? But I thought evidence didn’t matter. Any allegation provided by a woman is supposed to be enough, isn’t it? Isn’t that how everyone wanted this Me Too moment to work? You believe all women. You believe all women whether or not the evidence exists. They’re asking for evidence so I guess, what, they’re calling her a liar? Are they shaming the woman and calling her a liar for bringing forward these allegations? I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time that this happened with individuals on the left.

They had called foul when they said we were separating children and families to be detained. Now they’ll be kept together, still detained, still they're crying foul, the reason being is they don’t want anyone detained. They literally want people to be able to come in here, make a claim of asylum, which are really bogus claims of asylum. You’re coming from Mexico, it’s not an asylum claim. Running from a domestic dispute -- as sad as that is, and I want them to get help, that’s Mexico’s problem. Asylum claims are when you're coming from literally brutal dictatorships. You know if you’re coming -- you sneak out of North Korea and you manage to get here, you can claim asylum. Because you were carrying a Bible in North Korea and pushing the word, that’s asylum. These people are using that to sneak in here, many MS-13 gang members are using the same claim to sneak in here. Donald Trump says, let the courts figure it out. In the end they don’t want anyone detained.

And the fact that the Obama administration was pursuing essentially the same policy when it came to separating children from their parents and the fact that, as we said yesterday, that this part of the law was actually put into place by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, that very liberal court that said you can only keep children in detention for 20 days and then they have to be moved from their parents to either, put with a relative or into a different holding facility. Again, I’ve visited those facilities. Those facilities, if anything, are too nice. Now, we've seen the pictures of the children in cages, wrapped up in foil, that was a temporary solution for just maybe a matter of hours as the children were brought into America, when they were caught after crossing illegally. And then they were moved to a place like Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where they were put up in basic training barracks on the military base. A very safe, secure environment with hot showers, probably for the first time in their lives, with three hot meals a day, with games to play and education and health screenings and things that they had never seen before in their entire lives, and then they were given free phone calls back to their homes.

As a boy mom, kind of had enough of this. Especially like women who just need to stay in your lane and don’t be telling men how their masculinity is toxic. No, the problem that we’re having with society is that there’s an attack on masculinity where toxic masculinity isn’t an issue in all of the homes where there are absent fathers. That’s a lack of, not toxic. See, we have an issue right now where men are underappreciated, dads are ridiculed either as the dumb dad on television, that awful stereotype that still persists, or they are told that, what, they’re oppressive, they are suppressive simply because they are males and in the United States of America. I’m so tired, as a woman, as a mother of boys, having to combat this garbage from women -- many of which, many of whom don’t even have children -- and others who wouldn’t be able -- they wouldn’t know what masculinity was if it hit them in the face.

It was not easy to get that from what he was saying because, I mean, what he did say was pretty controversial. If you really break down what he was talking about, what he said made perfect sense. The Black community has been in this enslaved mentality with the Democratic Party for forever. You can see that in what Maxine Waters had to say when she was talking about how, Trump (sic) needs to watch what he says, maybe there could be someone who comes in there and corrects his wrong think, and makes sure that he doesn’t say as much next time. Who are you to tell Kanye what he can and can’t believe? Who are you to tell any Black man what he can and can’t believe? I think that Kanye’s right to point this out. The Democratic Party has done absolutely nothing for the Black community. They have only driven them into squalor. They have only put them under the government's thumb.

That most of their teachers are women, that they’re raised mostly by mothers, I mean obviously, especially in inner city communities, the majority of young men, of young boys, are raised in single parent households. And that’s usually a mother. There’s a huge dearth of manly example in our society today. And a place like the Boy Scouts was kind of the last refuge of where a boy could go, he could have some positive male role models. It’s not to say that women are not strong. It’s not to say that women can’t present a good role model to a boy. But boys are hardwired to want to identify with the men.

But for a party that’s supposedly so very concerned about Russian attempts to influence our elections in 2016 and that dreaded word collusion we've heard so much about in the press, it’s telling that a bevy of left-wing groups are partnering with a Hungarian-born billionaire and the Venezuelan government to try to influence the 2018 midterms by sending Honduran migrants north in the thousands.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-block-start: 1em; margin-block-end: 1em; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 1em !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">...</font></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-block-start: 1em; margin-block-end: 1em; margin-top: 0px !important;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">HOLTON: This is the same playbook we’ve seen in Europe.

I did a little bit of research, and it didn’t take a whole lot, AWR [Hawkins], I’ll tell you, to find a pretty direct link between George Soros money and the people in the caravan getting fed. Now, I have been crucified on Twitter for this because they say that I’m pushing a conspiracy theory, but let me just break it down for you. George Soros funds the Open Society Foundation, right? OSF funds the International Migration Institute, IMI, and IMI gives money to a whole host of other organizations, one of which is called the Alianza Americana. And if you got to the Twitter page of Alianza Americana, you can see that they’re traveling along with the caravan, bringing food and shelter and comfort to those people coming north.

It is now nothing short of a torture chamber designed to inflict harm, pain, and ultimate destruction on President Trump and his administration. Bringing back a known liar, Michael Cohen, the president’s former attorney and confidant to spew nothing more than allegations that amount to old news and same old same old Democratic talking points. All of it is a disgrace. Nothing new came out of yesterday’s hearing. Even if you believe every word uttered by this convicted liar, you can’t prove anything other than the fact that President Trump was no choir boy, he can be brash and harsh at times, driven and committed to winning. But still, in my opinion, not a criminal. So what does the media do? It focuses on old, salacious details that President Trump has proven has had no effect on his ability to govern and govern well. The president is winning on the national stage, on the foreign stage, and everywhere in between. Our country is in the best shape it has ever been in. The world is not safe, but it’s as safe as it’s been since 9/11. Much of this success we owe to President Trump, his advisers, and of course the military he commands. In just one month of governing the House, the Democrats have managed to prove that they have a vendetta against anyone who doesn’t agree with their left-wing way of thinking. A vendetta against the president, and of course a vendetta against gun owners. While one committee is trying to sink a president, the rest of the Democrats were pushing and voting for a universal background check bill that would sink legal gun owners, make some of them felons, put others in danger, cost all of them hard earned money. And it has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with safety. Just as the Cohen hearings have nothing to do with collusion. All of it has to do with underhanded tactics designed to hurt conservatives, punish them, and beat them into submission.

Here’s how the president should answer those questions about who he will pardon. He should just yell back, "You should be asking for a pardon." Reporters, editors, producers -- anyone associated with the mainstream media should be asking for a pardon. They are the ones who have abused and even weaponized the First Amendment. When they try to actively destroy a country, to me that’s treasonous. But that is where the media is today. The reason they don’t ask for a pardon is because they know they won’t get it. For a few reasons. One, they’re guilty. They are enemies of the people because they’re trying to tear this nation up. Two, they show no signs of remorse, there's no attempt to make up for any of their devious ways. And three, they know the president wouldn’t pardon the mainstream media. Not because he despises them, but because the American people who elected him wouldn’t stand for it. Finally, the mainstream media is being exposed as an un-American counterforce to everything that this country stands for. Maybe the media needs to ask for a pardon not from President Trump, but from the American people.

Be warned, Barack Obama is not gone. He isn’t hiding, either. He’s plotting his team’s next move. This is a man who relishes the spotlight and the power, which makes his disappearance all the more concerning. President Obama has unfinished business. For eight years, he apologized for American greatness. His quest was to tear this nation apart to dupe Americans into thinking only the Democratic Party, only Barack Obama could build this country back up. It’s a scam, and that scam truthfully still continues. Now I believe as the left goes after our guns from state house to state house, the goal is to disarm you and ultimately conquer you. And Barack Obama will use his wife Michelle to do just that. Do not count her out as a possibility to run for the White House. It is calculated that not many are talking about it. It is calculated that the Obamas have kept a low profile over the past few weeks. Any time the left’s dynamic duo goes silent, brace yourselves for a bombshell. Right now, the Democratic field looks so disappointing. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Kamala Harris, Michael Bloomberg, maybe Joe Biden, maybe Hillary Clinton. So what do you have? Two no-name senators and three washed up old anti-gun leftists. There is nothing electrifying about any of them. Michelle Obama could change that in a second. The Obamas know it. And puppet master Barack may be about to pull the strings that will continue his quest to fundamentally change America into an all too recognizable version of Venezuela.

One is that&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">The</em>&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">Washington Post</em>&nbsp;points out, and I’m amazed that this contributor to&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal;">The Washington Post</em>&nbsp;actually pointed this out, that the chances of your kid being killed in a school shooting are slim to none. I mean, it just doesn’t happen all that often. But with that said, even though the chances of a school shooting happening at your child’s school is slim to zero, the chance of another school shooting happening again is very high. We will see it. The problem with the mainstream media is that they live off of sensationalism and they live off of emotion. I blame the mainstream media in many respects for it, but I also blame the American public for it as well because the American public eats it up. So as much as people say well I don’t want to see bad news on TV at night, when you put good news on TV -- and news stations have tried this experiment before, I worked in mainstream media for over 20 years -- they've tried putting good news on. People don’t want to watch, they tune it out. So the American public can dictate, in some respects, what the media covers just simply by turning the channel when it’s something they don’t want to see. But in the end, when it comes to school shootings, you’ve got liberals inside the media that by and large hate guns. Every time they can publicize a school shooting, not only does it play into what the public wants to see as far as the sensationalism and the emotions, but then they can also encourage that war against gun ownership and the anti-gun climate that we’re seeing today all played out any time this happens. So it makes everybody scared. But it’s the wussification of America. It’s not just school shootings, it’s everything. Kids are afraid of everything today. Where, Dana, you and I talked about empowering people to take responsibility for their own safety and security. People call us paranoid. That’s not being paranoid, that’s so we can go out in the public and not be fearful.

All the cable outlets went with wall-to-wall coverage. Once again, more ratings gold for the anti-gun media. Meanwhile, other shootings were unfolding. In Chicago alone, you had 29 people wounded by gunfire this weekend, two of them killed. Do you hear that? Twenty-nine people shot. The media ignored that story, as they always do. Liberal reporters who claim to be the voice of the people ignore the people if they happen to live in the hood. It’s media racism and the coverage, or lack of coverage thereof, proves it. Don’t get me wrong, both stories deserve coverage, both of them. They deserve equal coverage, but here’s what will happen: The media will continue to ignore what’s happening in Chicago because it doesn’t involve white fancy suburbs. They will also forget about Jacksonville because the death toll just isn’t big enough for them. Tell that to the mothers of two young gamers who died. Plus, the shooter used a handgun, not the all-vilified AR-15. Yes, I promise you there were reporters who were disappointed -- you hear me? -- disappointed that an AR-15 wasn’t used.

By the way, Don, if you’re going to be criticizing people for writing speeches as if they were done by high school kids, you might want to look at your sentence, because your sentence doesn’t make any sense grammatically. It's very badly flawed, you might want to have a -- maybe a junior high school kid edit your work next time because the sentence you actually delivered on the air is not a grammatical sentence. But put that aside for a second, Don. You know, what he basically said was, yes, he sounded great, but he could only have sounded great because it was a speechwriter. Really? No kidding.

You ever heard Barack Obama get off the teleprompter? It's like, [stuttering]. I’m not exaggerating, that’s exactly what he sounds like. So, I have only one explanation for why Don Lemon would say something like this, Grant, and the only explanation I can come up with is, is he’s a malignant racist. He’s a racist. He must think that white people are not smart enough to be able to use big words without a teleprompter, while Black people like him and Barack Obama can. So, if you want to dish this out to us for the last 10 or 15 years, here it comes back at you, Don. I’m calling you publicly, I’m calling you a miserable racist who thinks that white people are not smart enough to understand the big words that Black guys like you and Barack Obama understand.

Teachers trained to carry firearms in school, in firearms, and the state needs permission to use federal money to do that. As you can imagine, the left is melting down. Anti-gunner’s outrage that the government would soon be funding firearms to put in the hands of educators. I would argue -- of all the things schools use federal grant money for, this may be the most legitimate. It falls into the core functions of the federal government, provide for the safety and security of its citizens. In fact, using federal tax dollars to buy guns for teachers is more in line and more in the boundaries of what the federal money should be used for than even textbooks or after-school programs. Guns in the hands of good guys has a direct impact on our safety, a core function of government.

Number one, you have a governor like Jerry Brown, who turned his back to the law enforcement. This is their boss. Our police are demoralized because when your boss is going to take the other side – this is a very, I said, nonpolitical, you know, issue. You have the police on one side, the law enforcement, and then you have the criminal on the other side. Of course we have to stand with the law enforcement, but you know the governor of California took the side of the criminal.

On top of that, the police have a very hard time now even to stop this criminal. And you know now the new wave of criminals he’s going to release is going to be pedophiles, child molester, and rapists. He is releasing all the rapists. So next thing you know, there’s going to be a lot of raping going on. What’s the governor of California going to say to the parents and every single woman out there should be up in arms.

The host needed to repudiate that idea, and he did so while the chyron hailed due process as “the foundation of the Constitution.” Stinchfield assured the audience that Trump’s seeming apostasy was but a small misunderstanding, and that the N.R.A. would talk some sense into a President the show describes—against considerable evidence suggesting otherwise—as “a reasonable man who respects freedom.” All the while, a screen within the screen surged with triumphal images of Washington, D.C., in monochrome, such that its landmarks assumed a severe silver sheen. Between the scheme of the cinematography and the thrust of the message, the Washington Monument looked like nothing so much as a five-hundred-and-fifty-five-foot sniper tower.</font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: geometricprecision;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">To clear the palate, the host pivoted to a segment—the chyron read “Gun Grabbers Ignorant About Firearms”—that exemplified what NRATV hosts do best: scoffing at the factual errors of politicians and pundits</span>. Stinchfield scored rhetorical points with pedantic layups and indignant dunks when correcting mistakes. His targets ranged from sloppy language about what constitutes a revolver to silly assumptions about the ability of women to handle weapons. The tactic, which seeks to disqualify gun-control activists as worthy debaters, enables NRATV hosts to dismiss arguments wholesale while allowing them to showcase a proud touch with fine print. The channel foregrounds its attention to precision at every opportunity, whether what it is&nbsp;<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">streaming has been constructed on the model of a talk-news program, a reality show, a History Channel outtake, an “Antiques Roadshow” appraisal, a fitness video, a tourist-site film exhibit, or an ad for a hunting-lodge timeshare.

Meanwhile, it scoffs at outsiders, such as “left-wing élitists,” in a tone combining pity and concern.</span></font></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: geometricprecision;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">“Love at First Shot,” an NRA Women production sponsored by Smith & Wesson, is a reality show depicting, in its third season, three journeys toward empowerment by way of licensed firearms.</span>&nbsp;Natalie is a tech executive whose interest in competitive shooting is an outgrowth of her professional drive.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Two days ahead of the March For Our Lives, I spent the entire day watching the network,</b>&nbsp;and what I found was that the march, organized by a teenagers who are calling for Congress to pass stricter gun control laws, has driven the NRA even further off the rails.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In between segments about trick shooters, something like a gun-focused Antique Roadshow, and&nbsp;<b>advertisements for NRA products</b>, NRATV was brimming with disdain for the March for Our Lives Thursday, as hosts of talk show-style shows argued that the march was really a front for socialist efforts to destroy the constitution and claimed that the march organizers were violent, anti-American, and pro-cop killing.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Here, informed by my very long day watching NRATV, are the gun lobby’s basic arguments against Saturday’s March for Our Lives.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The march is organized by violent women who are duping kids and using them as human shields</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">A favorite argument of NRATV personalities is that March for Our Lives isn’t actually organized by young people calling for change.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“This is the event that is supposedly being put on by children. It is not. It is being organized by a group of often violent women who speak a lot of rhetoric and anti-gun rhetoric,” host Grant Stinchfield said Thursday morning. “They support cop killers. This is the organizers of the Women’s March, and I believe that these kids are being used as pawns and being duped to push an ultimate socialist agenda, not just an anti-gun agenda.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Women’s March, along with a number of other high profile progressive organizations and personalities, has been working with March For Our Lives and promoted the event, but the event itself is led and organized by a group of young survivors. Still, Stinchfield and others have zeroed in on comments Madonna made about “blowing up the White House” at the Women’s March last year and the Women’s March’s celebration of Assata Shakur, a black panther who was convicted for killing a police officer, in an effort to write off the organization as “violent” and anti-American.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

According to him, the march isn’t really about guns so much as it is a time for the “liberal left” to put on a show.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“You know what’s going to happen is come Saturday, every left-wing organization and their agenda, whether it’s transgender rights to Planned Parenthood to MoveOn.org to the Women’s March, this will just be a display of the liberal left in America, and it will be their rally to come push all their left-wing causes,”<b>&nbsp;Stinchfield said to NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch</b>&nbsp;when she joined his show Thursday afternoon. “They’ll put it under the disguise of gun control, which they ultimately want as well. They’re all gonna show up to this.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Loesch agreed and launched into a long argument about the way she thinks progressives “hijacked” the Black Lives Matter movement.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“Black Lives Matter actually began as a grassroots effort to draw attention to the relationship or deteriorating relationship between the black community and law enforcement, and there were very genuine motives in that, but it was hijacked by far left progressives,” she said. “And then those far left progressives began sending in their own individuals who aren’t even citizens of the community to take attention away from grassroots individuals, to take the media spotlight, and to make the narrative all about them instead of the people who actually live in that community. Grant, in fact, in every single one of these movements, if you’ve seen, you always have this far left faction.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“You then have to wonder, where is this money really going?” he asked. “<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">When you look at the backers of this and the nonprofit — so-called nonprofit — organizations that are running it, I wonder how much money is actually going to go to putting on this march or how much will fund a socialist movement, an anti-gun movement, designed at one thing and one thing only: To not just destroy the Second Amendment — that has been a goal — it is also to<b>&nbsp;destroy the entire Constitution and rip this country down, tear it apart as we know it and build it back up as a socialist dreamland.”</b></span></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Later Thursday, Cam & Co. host Cam Edwards questioned the motives of anti-gun activists who boycott the NRA but aren’t boycotting rapper Lil Pump, who was recently arrested for firing a gun in his home. Instead of defending the young black gun owner, however, Edwards criticized Lil Pump, who rapped about taking Xanax ahead of his court hearing and having rich lawyers to defend him, for not “taking this very seriously.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">When Loesch joined Stinchfield Thursday, the pair also pondered whether the kids who have joined the march know about the “violent rhetoric” used by the “real” organizers.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“My question is are the kids, who I believe are really being used as human shields in all of this, do they know the violent rhetoric behind the organizers of this march? They probably don’t,” Stinchfield said. “And when I say they’re being used as human shields, I mean it this way: The organizers of this march know that we would never attack these young people that are passionate about things they believe in, but we will go after the organizers.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“What’s so hypocritical is the very people that are behind this march… are pushing the ability to be taken away for an 18- to 21-year-old to buy a long gun. They want to take that away,” he said. “They say you’re not responsible enough for guns. Yet they will march out high school kids and put them up on stage and say now they’re responsible enough to set gun control ideas in this nation. Now how hypocritical is that? They’re not responsible enough to own a firearm but then somehow they’re responsible enough to set policy in the halls of Congress.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">On Thursday morning, NRATV field reporter Chuck Holton joined Stinchfield to argue that the young people who plan to march Saturday don’t actually have any idea what they’re marching for.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“When you look on the March for Our Lives website that’s all that is says is that ‘We are marching for safe schools,'” Holton said. “If they really wanted safe schools then they would be joining the NRA. They’d be joining with us because we are offering real solutions about how to keep schools safe. One of the things that we have not seen out of this movement that they call the March for Our Lives is actual solutions that would make a difference. It’s long on emotion but very short on actual solutions.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Holton told Stinchfield he could “guarantee” that people at the march “really don’t know what solutions they’re calling for” and said that he will prove it when he covers the march Saturday.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“I can guarantee you that when I go down there and I talk to these students that are marching and I say, ‘How do you feel about the difference between a ‘may issue’ state and a ‘shall issue’ state?’ they going to have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about,” Holton said. “When I walk in and say ‘Tell me about the difference — what’s the difference between an AR-15 and an M4.’ They will have absolutely no idea. They will not be educated on the issues.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">That gave Stinchfield an idea. The host said didn’t mind exposing the playbook a little “because they’re probably not going to be watching us here,” and asked Holton to lay out the NRA School Shield program for students Saturday without telling them that’s what it was.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“When you talk about putting retired cops in these schools, when you talk about putting ex-military in these schools, when you talk about doing assessments and threat assessments in these schools. Go through that list with these kids,” he said. “Don’t tell them [where] it’s from. Say ‘Are you for this? Are you for this? Are you for this?’ And then tell them that’s the NRA school shield program and then see what their reaction is. I think it could be powerful.”</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Despite saying they weren’t going to attack the kids, NRATV personality Colion Noir took to attacking the kids on his show Thursday night.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The hosts often argued Thursday that they knew the majority of people don’t support gun control, which just isn’t true.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The truth is that a majority of both Democrats and Republicans support tightening restrictions on firearms, including a majority of gun owners. Last October, an NPR/Ipsos poll found that eight in 10 Americans favor bans on “assault weapons,” high-capacity magazines, and bump stocks, as well as a federal database to track all gun sales.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Pew Research found that 87 percent of gun owners support background checks for private sales and at gun shows, 82 percent support barring gun purchases by people on no-fly or watch lists, and 54 percent support creating a federal tracking database. 48 percent of gun owners even support banning assault-style weapons, and 44 percent support banning high-capacity magazines.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>But Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent turned NRATV personality, argued Thursday that the NRA is the power center of American politics.</b></font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">“It’s not about the NRA. That’s just three letters. The NRA is an organization. The organization backed by people. Five million people strong, and I’ll be honest with you, Grant, it probably reflect the views of far more,” Bongino said. “There are a lot of people out there that think they’re NRA members still but probably aren’t.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">And despite dedicating hours of programming to hitting the march and criticizing its organizers and allies, on Thursday afternoon Stinchfield argued that the fact that the march is happening at all is proof they’re a weak group.</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
