The extraordinary town hall event last night on CNN brought with it an outright assault on the Second Amendment, and many students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland claim that the network asked them to follow a script with pre-written questions for their audience.
The televised event drew in massive support via social media from the left and their allies in big tech, who utilized their platforms to force-trend hashtags and stories which supported the idea of an "assault" weapons ban.
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as an "assault" weapon, since firearms aren't sentient beings and in no way can act upon themselves.
There's an obvious desire to restrict or limit the Second Amendment after the actions of the mentally ill and clearly deranged Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

As<a href="http://thegoldwater.com/news/19060-Parkland-Florida-Video-CNN-Asked-Students-To-Follow-Script"> The Goldwater reported </a>on Thursday, Colton Haab, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, told Local 10 News that CNN had the questions read for him to ask in advance, and he wasn't happy about it.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">ROTC student Colton Haab, who shielded students from the school gunman, says CNN scripted the entire townhall event and censored him from asking the questions that he wanted to ask.<br><br>CNN is pure propaganda. <a href="https://t.co/AD1e7uGMV9">pic.twitter.com/AD1e7uGMV9</a></p>— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) <a href="https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/966577114655805442?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 22, 2018</a></blockquote>

"I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions," Colton Haab said. "CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Colton reports.
Colton claimed that he had written questions for politicians in attendance to ask them to hire armed Veterans as security guards, but CNN insisted upon the use of previously written questions, so he decided not to attend.
"I don't think that it's going to get anything accomplished. It's not going to ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have," Colton argued.
Social media pundits have gone on a tirade since the news has come out, further exposing CNN as the "fake news" propaganda outlet that a large proportion of the American public believe it to be.
The world watched as infamous RINOs (Republican in name only) such as Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), chose to use the airtime to<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/19026-Senator-Marco-Rubio-R-FL-Infringes-Upon-Second-Amendment-to-Raise-Purchase-Age"> infringe upon the Second Amendment</a>, suggesting that he supports raising the minimum purchase age on "rifles" to ensure 18-year-old law abiding citizens aren't able to own any similar weapon.
This outraged patriotic Americans across the country, who realize that men and women are asked to serve their nation in foreign wars at 18-years of age, and then simultaneously being told they're not responsible enough to carry a rifle.
CNN has fired back against the allegations that their questions were based upon a premeditated narrative, saying those claims are false.
Colton Haab, a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps member, stood firmly by his words during the interview, even showing the reporter his list of questions he had for the elected officials.
CNN's Vice President of Communications and Digital Partnerships Matt Dornic told The Daily Caller that, "There is absolutely no truth," Dornic said of the claims. "CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last night's town hall, nor have we ever."
"After seeing an interview with Colton Haab, we invited him to participate in our town hall along with other students and administrators from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School," Dornic alleged. "Colton's father withdrew his name from participation before the forum began, which we regretted but respected. We welcome Colton to join us on CNN today to discuss his views on school safety."
Social media doesn't behave CNN, and they have an endless reason not to after the horrifying behavior of the outlet since President Trump was elected.
Just yesterday,<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/18997-CNN-Reporter-Drew-Griffin-Harasses-Elderly-Florida-Woman-Accusing-Her-of-Supporting-Russians"> The Goldwater reported </a>a story involving CNN's Drew Griffin, who traveled into Pembroke Pines, Florida to harass an elderly woman who ran a Pro-Trump Facebook group, accusing her of somehow supporting "Russians" for her moderation position in the group.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Look at how disgusting <a href="https://twitter.com/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CNN</a> is.<br>They went to Pembroke Pines, Florida and HARASSED an elderly woman who runs a Pro-Trump Facebook group, accusing her of supporting "Russians".<br>They also doxed her, publishing her name, risking her safety.<br>You're a <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FakeNews?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FakeNews</a> DISGRACE <a href="https://twitter.com/DrewGriffinCNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DrewGriffinCNN</a> <a href="https://t.co/9hhPF2245b">pic.twitter.com/9hhPF2245b</a></p>— Red Pill (@IWillRedPillYou) <a href="https://twitter.com/IWillRedPillYou/status/966401301163708416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 21, 2018</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the disturbing footage, Griffin not only antagonizes an elderly woman on camera, acting horrendously disrespectful to her every time she tried to answer a question but had the audacity to publish the woman's full name on their website.
The tactic, known as "doxing," puts her safety in jeopardy as a result.
As if there aren't countless other events involving misconstrued reporting and even outright lies that discredit CNN throughout their tenure as a mainstream media outlet, these new claims of planted questions aren't going to gain them any new supporters.
Simply watching the event, it's crystal clear that this wasn't ever intended to be a "town hall," and that the audience had a political agenda as well as an in an intentional ploy to push for the trampling of the Second Amendment.
Dana Loesch, National Rifle Association spokeswoman was also invited to attend what she'd thought was a bipartisan event to have an open discussion and instead was viciously attacked for her opinions and beliefs where the audience mocked and harassed her.
<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;"><iframe width="360" height="202" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4AtOU0dDXv8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
One student, Emma Gonzalez, who many on social media have pointed out as being eerily skillful in her words, as if they'd potentially been rehearsed, blasted Dana Loesch on a personal level, suggesting she's somehow a "bad mother" for being an NRA member, despite zero NRA members ever being involved in a mass shooting catastrophe.
<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;"><iframe width="360" height="202" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4AtOU0dDXv8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
"I want you to know that we will support your two children in a way that you will not," Emma Gonzalez said to Loesch. The crowd began chanting phrases calling Loesch a "murderer," in what was an eventful television show, clearly filled with Democrats and opponents to the Second Amendment.
Even while questions were directed to Senator Rubio, another survivor of the tragedy, Cameron Kasky, took the airtime as an opportunity to attack Loesch.
"I wish I could have asked the NRA lady [Loesch] a question," Kasky said. "I would ask her how she can look in the mirror, considering the fact that she has children, but, you know, maybe she avoids those."
"What was that I'm sorry?" Tapper said in response, acting as if he didn't expect those words from Kasky. In no way was this a group discussion on solutions, but appears to him instead of an effort to propagate gun control narratives.
Another moment during the CNN event which raised eyebrows occurred after Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel clashed with Dana Loesch over police accountability.
<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;"><iframe width="360" height="202" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ot6yEBy6L5I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
Loesch simply pointed out that law enforcement should have done more to prevent Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland shooter, from ever obtaining a firearm.
As we know, police were called to Cruz's home a reported 39 times for domestic violence-related issues, and members of the school faculty were aware of his alleged "obsession" with firearms.
Other students have even said that Nikolas Cruz was a problematic teen throughout the years and that most of his classmates were aware of his mental health issues.
Yet, Dana Loesch was repeatedly booed for stating the obvious. It was almost like the Democratic National Convention, as per the audience in attendance.
These personal attacks against Loesch weren't a debate, and if what Colton Haab stated is to be considered as accurate, much of those who were allowed to ask questions knew exactly what they were doing in the process.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Haab was hailed as a hero by the media prior to his announcement of the alleged planted questions, where he was reported to have used Kevlar Vests along with another student to shield victims as they made their escape during the Parkland tragedy in Florida last week.
They also reportedly utilize a two-by-four and a fire extinguisher, where they guarded the door of a room they and other students were seeking shelter inside of, ready to attack the gunman if he tried to enter and take lives.
Yet, now CNN has changed its tune? Haab is no longer a hero? Instead of choosing to continue the vicious attacking of this heroic young man, for simply telling the public about the alleged planted questions.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Scripted Question<br><br>Odd where has this happened before?<br><br>CNN is no stranger to scripted questions.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
One has to question CNN's motives, in this case, with the outlet having such a history of "yellow journalism," hence President Trump coining the term "fake news" for CNN as a result.
Many Americans feel as if when a network that uses such tactics or has such a horrific problem with reporting facts, such as CNN, continues to use these tactics, that they're endangering the public.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I've been to CNN "town halls". They are 100% scripted and rigged to promote their left-wing agenda.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Such misleading stories or advantages are given to one side of the spectrum, make CNN a literal arm of propaganda for the Democratic Party, and there's no denying this.
When the "news" media shifts from reporting the news to pushing an agenda, it's no different than state television in North Korea via Kim Jong Un or even the accusations against Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Take into account that leftist-controlled social media platforms also interfere and show their bias to the world, with their efforts to censor Conservatives and simultaneously promote the Democratic Party's agenda.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As one Twitter user pointed out, Cameron Kasky, who verbally assaulted Dana Loesch at the event, was "Verified" by Twitter prior to the CNN televised event ever occurring, yet Colton Haab, who has called out the questions as being scripted, has not been.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Alright, I'm done feeding the trolls for a couple hours. Sorry if I'm taking up too much of your feed.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
It's crystal clear to those on the right of the spectrum that the mainstream media, big tech platforms, and social media, as well as supposed "right wing" politicians like Rubio are being given an unfair platform to speak out against the Second Amendment in an effort to remove it. It just cannot be denied.
The largest problem with last night's event is that nothing was accomplished via this CNN "town hall" style forum, and no legitimate exchange of ideas occurred.
Instead of having a legitimate discussion from both sides of the spectrum, CNN brought out Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who's clearly the definition of the "swamp" in DC that supports globalist policies, used children to attack those who did come to debate, and even allowed Dana Loesch to be verbally abused on the stage.
This was in no way forum or a discussion, but an assault on the Second Amendment.
Anyone who supports the Second Amendment is being shamed into supporting its demise, and Pro-Trump Americans in general face heavy opposition and censorship for wishing to support the Constitution.
The 2018<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/17908-2018-Midterms-An-Expose-of-Where-Each-Party-Currently-Stands"> midterm elections </a>are fast approaching, and those results will certainly decide the fate of America and the rights and privileges we pride ourselves on having.
The American people must rally themselves around the Constitution, and urge their friends and family to go out and vote amidst the endless barrage of fake news from the likes of CNN and the Democratic Party's propaganda.
We still have numerous unanswered questions about Parkland, and we have a mental health crisis in an America.
CNN pushing an agenda of Gun Control as an answer, with so much left to understand about the shooter, or how he acquired the weapons and planned the attack, shows they're uninterested in simply protecting Americans. They want control.
If these propagandists were interested in protecting children, they'd support<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/19001-Columbine-Survivor-Introduces-Bill-to-Conceal-Carry-in-Schools-Armed-Teachers-Save-Lives"> training and arming teachers </a> who wish to utilize their Second Amendment rights inside of public schools to safeguard the students they love.
Criminals will obtain a means of killing if they desire to do so. Taking guns from law-abiding citizens will not change this.

CNN is losing ratings big time, and this is the only way they can gather a base of leftists by going after a hot topic such as our 2nd amendment rights.

CNN we all know are a bunch of liars. so how can you believe them? I don't and neither do you
