That's a delightful malapropism.

How about you answer my question first:

Since when did hysterical teenagers become a trusted source for anything regarding public policy? I'll wait. Try to focus this time. Also, try not to respond with something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with what I asked. Based on your track record, I expect something along the lines of: "But, it's supposed to rain tomorrow". You're not being clever. Answer the question.

I smell Russian troll.
The Daily Caller put this story out before the march ever happened. Pilgrim bit to troll bait, and they hooked him.

Since they spent a day hiding under their desks listening to a shooter stalking and gunning down their friends and classmates in the hallways. They know better than the rest of us through personal experience how this affects them and their peers across the country.

They are looking at the adults in their government and calling them out for failing to address this issue that puts them at risk. They're not hysterical, they're angry. As are millions of adults in this country.

Hysterical is a term that was routinely used to dismiss and invalidate women's voices. It's interesting that you use it here in an attempt to dismiss and invalidate these kids as well. But given your posting history, not at all surprising.

Pretty much sums up the entire Pro-NRA response to this movement. "We don't want to let any opposing views be heard, so we will discredit them before they ever speak".

It's really disheartening, and quite frankly sick, to see the desperate measures the Pro-gun movement will go to in order to keep making money off of instigating fear and violence.

what are you talking about we don't want opposing views heard? Your views are all over the media. As far as discredit, we discredit your views fair and square. And as far as making money what? I spend money on guns because I like shooting them, I don't make off of squat.
