“The kids of America have to stand up when our irresponsible politicians won’t,” he said. “We’re here to elect morally just leaders that will protect us as Americans.”<\/p>\n

Manuel and Patricia Oliver, the parents of a Parkland shooting victim, also joined marchers and condemned Smith & Wesson for making the powerful rifle used to kill their 17-year-old son, Joaquin Oliver, and 16 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.<\/p>\n

Manuel Oliver said the weapon isn’t even allowed to be sold in the company’s home state because of Massachusetts’ strict gun laws. “That’s an ironic situation,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yup, it seems the kiddies would like $5,ooo,ooo\u00a0for some kind of proof that S&W is a responsible\u00a0company.\u00a0 \u00a0Defending the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is now morally unjust and they are looking for leaders who will “protect them”.<\/p>\n

Smith & Wesson has become a target for gun control activists because the company’s military-style rifles were used not only in the Parkland shooting but a number of other recent massacres, including the 2015 shooting at a California holiday party where 14 people died and the 2012 shooting at a Colorado movie theater where 12 died.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s marchers emphasized they’re not looking to see the company, which was founded in 1852, move out of the state. They just want it to step up and do its part to make the country safer.<\/p>\n

“I understand it’s important to the city and its employs a lot of people,” said Nate Lapointe, a 15-year-old high school junior from West Springfield. “But that doesn’t give them a free pass on selling weapons that are used to commit mass murder. At some point, we have to hold them accountable.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone out there know why S&W is still in a state that hates them and what they do.<\/p>\n

March organizers also want Smith & Wesson to donate $5 million toward gun violence research because of the dearth of federally funded research on the issue thanks to restrictions imposed by Congress.<\/p>\n

Supporting “commonsense” gun laws and respecting the constitutional right to bear arms aren’t mutually exclusive, stressed Vikiana Petit-Homme, a senior at Boston Latin Academy in Boston and one of the event’s lead organizers.<\/p>\n

“You can still support the Second Amendment and still want to live and want stronger gun laws,” she said. “It’s not one or the other.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is a video and everything\u00a0right HERE<\/a>.\u00a0 They did not want their route to S&W announced because I guess they were afraid responsible leaders would not be able to protect them.\u00a0 I wonder if the thought of protecting themselves has ever crossed their frail little minds.<\/p>\n

On a positive note, the Taurus G2C<\/a> is now available for just under $200.<\/p>\n
