I've never been a teenager watching my classmates gunned down. Have you? I don't pretend to know what they're feeling and I have no idea how far this will go. But you cannot deny that without their efforts gun laws in Florida would not have changed.
As for ignorance, I've read a hell of a lot more of it on this board than I've heard from these kids. This is a country that elected a ****** as potus.
Not always. How does a little kid oversupply himself with too much food? He/she doesn't have a job. Doesn't earn a paycheck. Someone is providing them access to WAY too much food. 33% of kids in the US are obese. That's NOT self-inflicted.
Six of my nieces and nephews will be there. I am very proud of them for doing this. Maybe they can do what their older generations have failed. Less guns...good idea.
Yikes. Six of them? I wonder how many of them are really passionate about the cause and how many of them are feeling pressured to attend by what is apparently a very politically focused family. I know, I know, you're going to say all six of them are passionate about the cause...but they're going to say that, aren't they? They don't want the disapproval of their family.

They will vote in the not-too-distant future, and the members of the GOP who accept NRA donations need to pay attention.
Like most on your side, you ignore the result of implementing "gun free" buildings.
The unintended consequences of this national stupidity is plain to see. Bad guys always seek the path of least resistance.
Like most on your side, you ignore the fact that these people don't care if the people they plan on slaughtering have guns. That is the last thing they think of. They want to kill as many as possible before they get killed.
We can all hope they make the most of their education, but there is a sinister element in being taught by professors whose life goal is to change America into their Socialist model.
Getting kids to eschew firearms is an important element of the Left's plan.
Back to the topic; most of the kids participating are doing it because of peer pressure. They don't know much about guns and don't care that they were never taught.
They get a couple of unsupervised days away from mom and dad out of town, and will get interviewed by a supportive media.
If nothing else is accomplished, there will be a lot of underage drinking and a number of pregnancies as a result of this mini-vacation!
Find a few hours of your Saturday to help soften the credibility of these events.
Younger people don't have the same ideas about guns as the older generation. The bastion of gun ownership, rural America is said to be aging and shrinking. The old 18th century ideas about the value and security gun ownership is not part of their identity. What is lost on the the critics of this youth movement is the fact that many of the anti-gun younger generation are conservative.
