It's a non-argument. Same as all your other non-arguments.

There are so many angry kids because they keep getting shot in schools.

Do you live under a rock?
Guess I wasn't clear.

My comment was for kids that are shooting, not marching.

But thanks for degrading me. Guess I'll go now and find my safe space...

How wonderful of them to want to show solidarity with the US.
I saw that there were marches in Canada today as well.

“More than a dozen Canadian cities hosted marches Saturday to call for stricter gun control laws in both Canada and the United States, adding their voices to a global movement calling for change in the wake of a high school shooting that left 17 people dead in Parkland, Fla.”

There were a few here and there.

“About 30 gun-rights supporters staged a counter-demonstration in front of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., standing quietly with signs such as "Armed Victims Live Longer" and "Stop Violating Civil Rights."”

Perhaps you need a better example there
Are you discounting 6,000,000 dead Jews?

Anti-Semite much?

A well regulated Militia,

being necessary to the security of a free State,

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,

shall not be infringed.

What choice you do have in not being murdered by a gun?

You may wanna check with some of your liberal friends on that. Y'all clearly not on the same page

In other words, yes, we really do want to take your guns. Maybe not all of them. But a lot of them.
