Top 7 Ironies With “March For Our Lives”

  1. Most Protesters Weren’t There For Reasons Of Gun-Control

At a protest in favor of gun control you would expect the participants to be there for such a cause.

The Washington Post featured research done by University of Maryland Sociology Professor Dana R. Fisher that revealed some alarming results.

Fisher writes:

“Even more interesting, the new protesters were less motivated by the issue of gun control. In fact, only 12 percent of the people who were new to protesting reported that they were motivated to join the march because of the gun-control issue, compared with 60 percent of the participants with experience protesting.”

It just goes to show how the movement on gun control is a popularity issue more than an understanding of political motivations.
