Cameron Kasky is an MSD Student and one of the founders of Never Again MDS.
While David Hogg claimed a lot of the spotlight, Kasky too had some moments in front of the camera. Like Hogg, he’s a nasty little shit.
He was the one at the CNN town hall who challenged Marco Rubio to reject monetary support from the NRA and called Dana Loesch “that NRA lady” and questioned the quality of her her motherhood.
He was interviewed on CNN again, where he proved he’s just hyper partisan and not really interested in actually doing anything effective.
It turns out his dad is also a sniveling shit.
Jeff Kasky wrote an OpEd for the Sun Sentinel that was as bad as any of this son’s public appearances.

What’s at the heart of the assault-weapons ban debate? | Opinion
Tell me sir, what is it? I’d like to know.
I have a specific gift that has helped me become successful in my career as a mediator. That gift is to see through all of the nonsense in an argument, and break it down to the atomic level. I believe that my ability to see through the noise is extraordinarily helpful in the mediation process, but I also know — from a psychological standpoint — that it’s often helpful in the course of dispute resolution to allow the parties to vent the noise and associated facts and feelings in order to arrive more naturally at the crux of the issue.
Holy fuck that is a lot of self aggrandizing narcissism. If it goes on like this any more, he’s going to mention he’s a member of MENSA, drives a Ferrari, has a 10 inch dick, and women orgasm when he looks them in the eyes.
An entire paragraph in and I still don’t know what is at the heart of the assault weapon ban debate.
A very easy example of stripping away the noise and getting to the specific heart of the issue is as follows: “The right” and “the left” (words which I think should not be used as nouns) have opposing views on abortion, but those views boil down to one very basic disagreement: Whether a fertilized egg is immediately a human life. If it is, abortion is murder. If it’s not, a woman should be able to choose whether to end her pregnancy via termination. (Many, if not most, on the side which believes that abortion is murder claim a religious conviction to that fact; however, to my knowledge there is no mention of abortion in the Judeo-Christian Torah and Bible.)
My god this fucker thinks highly of himself. I still don’t know anything about the assault weapon ban debate. But I think he thinks he’s solved the abortion debate too.
Also, while there term “abortion” is not used in the bible, there are plenty of references to life in the womb, and the sanctity of life. For a guy who is supposedly an attorney, his arguments are shit and he doesn’t know how to do even cursory research into opposing opinions.
This relates to the current debate over the constitutionality of the demanded assault weapons ban, insofar as some believers that abortion is murder then conflate that argument with the assault weapon ban argument via the logical fallacy of “whataboutism.” It sounds like this: “Really? We should ban semi-automatic assault rifles? What about all the babies who are murdered via abortion every day! Why don’t you march for them?” The issues, although wholly unrelated, will never be resolved until each is worked out on its own merits.
I have no idea what he thinks he is trying to say here. It’s not wise or deep in any way. I don’t think that particular whataboutism” is happening. Nobody is saying “we shouldn’t ban assault weapons until we end abortion.” This is nonsense.
Bearing in mind my skills and experience in getting to the heart of a dispute, it is obvious to me that the specific individuals in our country who are vehemently opposed to a ban on these weapons of war are members of a loosely-connected subculture of people who have been trained and encouraged to be angry. These people are convinced that they are quickly becoming culturally and ethnically disenfranchised from mainstream society. They are being told that their political and social power is being usurped by “interlopers.” They are angry that, in their perception, they’re being forgotten via the increased acceptance of minorities, ethnic and otherwise.
Way to go Hillary Obama, or would it be Barack Hussein Clinton. This is nothing more than the “cling to their guns and religion” mixed with “basket of deplorables.” While there may be a lot of older shooters who own assault weapons, the explosion in popularity of the AR-15 is part of Gun Culture 2.0. Gun Culture 2.0 is younger. We are Gen Y/Older Millennials. We are used to diversity. We are much more urban or suburban than the more sportsman/hunter gun owners. We’re less interested in a nice shotgun for the duck blind and far more interested in building a bad ass AR for a day shooting poppers at the range. Just look at all these white supremacists having fun at the rage with their ARs.
The idea that we are Podunk, white racists, who are angry that “the black man took our jobs” is both factually inaccurate and egregiously offensive.
None of his “skills and experience in getting to the heart of a dispute” apparently involve learning a damn thing about the subject at hand. He just relies on ego and prejudice.
That anger and perception of loss of power is being created, perverted, exploited and capitalized — for profit — by info-tainment hosts such as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones, along with individuals in the highest ranks of power in this country.
Don’t be coy, say it. TRUMP!
The result of this systematic brainwashing is the willful refusal to believe the obvious — that no one is trying to disarm them of their protected weapons.
Actually, you son’s classmate Emma Gonzales did. You guys need to get your story straight.
This, of course, drives gun sales, and the NRA and its gun manufacturer clients to laugh their way to the bank. Let me be perfectly clear: The NRA and others have a vested financial interest in keeping Americans paranoid of the bogeyman. This sells guns, which is what the NRA is paid to facilitate. This is not about the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. This is about selling guns for profit.
When will you fucking people learn the difference between the NRA and the NSSF? The NRA makes no money off the sale of guns. It makes money off membership and donations. Both of which go up every time your son or one of his stupid friends opened their stupid mouths.
Parkland Students: “the NRA is a much of racist terrorists with blood on their faces and were going to take their gun from their cold dead hands as soon as we pass gun control.”
Gun owners: “Well, I better renew my NRA membership and make a donation while I’m at it before these shit kids send a SWAT team to take my guns away.”
See how it works?
This subculture of people is being told that there are “liberals” with an “agenda,” the bottom line of which is to do no less than destroy America.
Like putting men in women’s bathrooms? Or shipping $400 million to Iran under the cover of darkness? Maybe it’s the crippling government dependency in minority communities. Democrats have an agenda. Every political party does. You may not say it’s “to destroy America” but the results speak for themselves. Maybe you’d like to walk barefoot in San Francisco to see first hand what single party Democrat rule does.
This opens the door for entities like the NRA to position themselves as protectors of “American traditions” such as gun ownership, and to exploit these sad and angry people financially and emotionally when they’re at their most sad and vulnerable.
Ha. Again, the fallacy that the NRA is top down and not bottom up. I’ll say it again, the NRA is the tip of the gun owning spear. We are the gun owners who own more than one gun. We are the gun owners that carry concealed. We are the gun owners that have real skin in the game when it comes to bans and restrictions. We fight for our right to own ARs and in doing so fight for the right of every sportsman, even every Fudd, to own a semi-auto waterfowl gun.
We do it because turds like you and your kid want to take our guns away because a total sack of shit like Sheriff Israel humped the dog and failed to stop Cruz. But because he shook Hillary Clinton’s hand, you can’t call him out for being a massive fuck up so you have to punish millions of people who didn’t do anything wrong. We’re not going to let you do that.
This asshole knows obviously has never taken part in the AWB debate. He’s ever bothered to learn the other side. He’s never applied actual mediator skill to this topic.
He simply got high off the smell of his own farts and regurgitated the worst Liberal talking points that were reason Hillary lost and Trump won.
But that’s not all. He had to prove that he’s a real “deep thinker” and like those NRA members who get led around by the nose by Fox News. So when there was push back on Twitter for him being a stupid asshole, this was his response.

If you listen to the major media outlets, you’d thing the the Kremlin funneled millions of dollars to Trump through the NRA. If you listen to the facts, the NRA received roughly $2,500 in membership dues from Americans living abroad.
But it’s NRA members who are duped by “fake news” and not genius mediators like Kasky.
This is nothing more than anti gun owner bigotry from a guy that sounds like he wants to deepthroat himself.
No wonder his kid is such a obnoxious, know-nothing, shit. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
This clown’s attitude is how you get more Trump. Claims to have a special talent for seeing what’s at the root of disagreements: argues against straw man versions of those he disagrees with. Curiously those straw men precisely align with delusions the left in general holds.
Wow, what a piece of work.
Let’s not forget that it wasn’t only Emma Gonzalez who talked about taking weapons — Delaney Tarr said “When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile.”
Coward county along with Dade county are full of assholes like this.
My special talent is a highly accurate and fine tuned B.S detector, honed by years of dealing with government and corporate bureaucrats. It has been pinned by the above super tanker load of crap. I’ll have to reset it with single malt scotch.
Or, range time. (“group” therapy”!)
