Subject: 🦅"A revolutionary form of peace"
N.S.: They say they're against "gun violence," but they're as phony as three-dollar bills. The oppose stop-question-frisk, which got thousands of guns off the streets, they oppose anti-gang tactics, they oppose immigration law enforcement, they support "gun-free zones," which are like catnip to mass shooters, they oppose bail for violent criminals, they support endless amnesties for criminals and they fanatically oppose law-abiding taxpayers' right to keep and bear arms, and thereby defend themselves against violent predators.
Anti-gun violence leaders start Peace Week. THE LEDE: Good morning! More than 100 anti-violence activists and nonprofit leaders from across New York City gathered on the steps of City Hall Wednesday to kick off the 10th Annual New York Peace Week, a series of events designed to uplift communities affected by gun violence.

"Activists"(Commies) are trying to prevent whites from taking the country back(or having the capability to do so).As I posted yesterday,Northram in Virginia, is desperately trying to prevent what CBS radio called,"a potential race riot",next Monday,by forbidding the carrying of weapons at any protests.
Blacks can riot but whites can't?Not on MLK day,I guess,lol.
