I was thinking that every movement needs a few powerfully resonant chants. I thought we could do better than “LOCK HER UP.”
I originally thought that a friend of mine’s suggestion (thank you, Donna K.) of “Hey, Hey, NRA, how many kids did you kill today?” would be an effective one. If you’re too young to remember, this was used in protests against the Vietnam War.
Another powerful anti-war chant was “One, Two, Three, Four, We Don’t Want Your Fucken War.”
Then I thought using the word “kill” was too harsh, especially for younger kids. Hence, I softened it to “how many kids need to die today?” Either one will suffice. Ultimately, of course, the kids should and will decide what to say. They have earned the right to lead this battle. It is so inspiring for an elder like me to see a new generation taking to the streets and airwaves.
If you want to send this or any message to the NRA they are @NRA.
If you know how to do it, or want to learn, you can also take a screenshot of the image I used in this story. (I do this on my Mac all the time.) You can add this to a Tweet to @NRA.
Thanks to Dr. VK for sending me this Twitter account which tracks gun violence.

This is what I Tweeted to Trump with the image included:
@realDonaldTrump It appears that the NRA has buffaloed you and told you that when it comes to guns they have final say in what you endorse. They have made banning assault rifles like the AR15 radioactive. Look what they Tweeted today. The majority wants this. Why not you.
You don’t need an account to read Tweets (HERE), however, so if you want to keep up with Trump’s manic executive time Twitterbation sessions, he can’t tell if you read them. You can, however, Tweet back to him.
I’ve already concluded Trump can be diagnosed with the (illegal if acted on) the paraphilia toucherism (I wrote about this last summer) and that he has some kind of urophila (yesterday’s diary). Twitterbation is not listed in the DSM-5 or the ICD-10, but would be defined as the condition of deriving sexual, possibly sadistic sexual, satisfaction from making nasty Tweets and firing people via Twitter.
