This supposed "pro-2nd Amendment" walkout was really a non-event with very few students participating compared to the huge numbers that turned out against gun violence. Once again it's conservatives wanting to play the "victim" in the wake of horrific tragedies that their own policies have contributed to, creating thousands of real victims. This walkout was the ultimate in cowardice, in support of the status quo, in looking the other way in the face of tragedy, and in support of corporate interests who profit by preventing reasonable gun laws from passing. In short, a disgrace and a complete farce. It will do nothing to detract from the movement started by the Parkland massacre survivors.
How much press did this get prior to it compared to the amount the anti-gun protests got?

Well, when people say that they want to do something I've learned that one should take them at their word.
Yes!!!!! And all those who marched against the second amendment were enlightened free thinkers.... Thank you so much for show us the difference.
These Marches have all been staged by adults using children to drive an agenda.
No one marched against the Second Amendment. Those who march in favor of gun control did so because they felt the current situation directly threatened their safety.
Apples and oranges. The anti-gun walk out was a protest against mass murder. The goobers participating in the pro-gun walkout are okay with mass murder apparently or they`re just stupid.
So those are the only two options? They're ok with mass shootings or they're stupid? I can say the same about the gun control walkout. They're either ok with being defenseless or they're stupid.

I thought being a chauvinist was being anti woman. How is being for the second amendment anti women? Also, many in the walkout wanted a repeal of the second amendment or something that pretty much adds up to it.
So you say. Both groups walked to protest something they feel strongly about. Or do you believe that some protests are more equal than others. Interesting take on the First Amendment that is.
I believe you live in Pittsburgh, or did, yes? In a state with as many licensed hunters as there are active duty members in all branches of the US military combined.
That`s where I live and indeed we do have a lot of licensed hunters and they have deer rifles and shotguns. Neither of those weapons are used by mass murderers. See the difference?

I really don't as hunters in PA also use handguns ( I should know since I used one to hunt deer when I lived there) and every coyote hunter I know there uses an AR platform.
Again, you're a gun banner, or at least you certainly talk like one, who will not stop at just one type or style of gun.
One small step, etc.
