This upcoming generation is going to have a very different view on gun control.

Please do not make suggestions for crazy people. They get enough ideas from the voices in their heads. The shooters, I mean, not the anti-gun ones.

Thanks for posting that! That girl certainly was on fire. Hard to believe she's only in high school. What ever she chooses for a career she's going to be successful.

And this is the heartbreaking truth.

Because the vocal minority spoke doesn't mean the silent majority has changed there minds. This liberal buzz phrase "gun violence" has already used up its 15 minutes of fame. This is a human violence problem. This violence is caused by a breakdown in the human spirit. Broken hearts, broken minds. When will you folks wake up and address the root causes of the problems?

They are going to have very different views on a lot of things. They are very socially progressive and eschew organized religion. Both bode well for the future.

Huh? I do not think that word means what you think it means. If these deaths are indeed, un-avoidable, why have I wasted a nice rainy Saturday writing about the subject when I could have been cleaning my guns and reloading some cartridges?
"Don't just do something, STAND THERE"

Perhaps maybe because you're just crazy about guns.....?

"We are going to be the last class shooting" and they clapped? They clapped over something an emotional kid said that is nothing more than writing checks with her mouth? She says all these people are going to change the law. They couldn't protect them in the first place why in the world would she think they can protect them now. The same people that ignored the warnings are the ones to help? Boobus doesn't learn.

Then to say it's not just a mental helath issue? She's nuts. Who is blaming the victims? I listened to the first 2 minutes of it. That's all I need to know she's an uninformed, emotional, irrational little kid.

No laws or proposed laws will stop these. Security will.
