It is a great opportunity to get out in front of this movement and lead it to meaningful change - not gun control.

I hope the president seizes this opportunity.

It is another leftist brainwashing scheme for votes.

Waste of time, pure media driven effort by a bunch of snowflakes. Students should suck it up and get back to class. Maybe get a civics lesson on the 2nd Amendment and the whole Constitution and Bill of Rights.

“Students should suck it up and get back to class.”

Sounds like a great Republican campaign slogan.

Oh no - what if the Democrats trot out Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Keith Ellison and run on the platform of disarming Americans in the 2018 midterms?

Oh please don’t throw us in that Briar patch!

There’s a reason why there were no teenagers at the Constitutional convention.

“I didn’t realize the students were demanding citizens be disarmed.”

So what do you think “common sense gun control legislation” means? Maybe ask an Australian if you aren’t sure.

Maybe not letting 18 year olds buy guns when they can’t buy alcohol?
