If these kids are so wise and must be listened to, then why is it necessary to pass laws making it illegal for everyone 21 and under to own a firearm? I would think that these kids, being wise and moral enough to lead us adults could be trusted to own a firearm.
Good point.
IMO,its political posturing. Those youths proficient with firearms have owned them for a very long time. Those who want them will get them illegally. The fallacy is that left unchallenged, a time will come when only those weapons obtained illegally, by bad players, will have them. Then the bloodshed begins as they attack unopposed.
I am equally sure that the lions share of the children in the crowds are followers, that the speakers are student leaders, and activists, used to rallying the troops for their causes. But most, are there for the experience, and to get out of school.
Now is the time to talk to those students and take the snowflake mittens off and talk turkey to them, tell them the REAL truth, and why guns and protection are needed.
But, Just My Opinion, and how I would teach MY children.
