NRA Responds To March For Our Lives Rallies Saturday
After calling the rallies a "carnival of a march," Noir said people should donate to get armed guards at the school. He then slammed the Parkland school shooting survivors, saying "but then these kids would have to shrink from the spotlight and go back to their homework," according to CBS News.
Nor contended that the March For Our Lives is completely one sided. He said he vigorously defends the students' and other activists' First Amendment rights but added the same group supporting and funding the rallies are the same ones fighting to remove his show and NRA TV from mainstream media.
Noir said opposers are trying to knock him off the air because they don't, quote, "like how he's using his First Amendment Right to protect his Second Amendment Right."
"I have to ask, what are you really marching for? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like a march to burn the Constitution and rewrite the parts that you all like in crayon," Noir concluded.
The Parkland school shooting survivors have openly slammed the NRA since the alleged shooter attacked their high school on Valentine's Day.
At a CNN Town Hall days after the shooting, Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior Cameron Kasky attempted to persuade Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio to refrain from take any money from the NRA, but he refused.
On Saturday at the Washington D.C. march, Stoneman Douglas senior David Hogg said, "Let's put the USA over the NRA," CBS News reported.
U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Georgia, told marchers in Atlanta that he is "proud" of his "F" rating from the NRA.
