No, they sound like tomorrow.

Dreams are always an easier sell than facts and realities -- especially when you're on the "soft" side of Real Life 401.

But until they've assumed full responsibility for themselves, let alone a family, and come to recognize what a mature society and economy can, and can not support, they haven't completed that tough course.

Just like the group of small boys who found a turtle, "voted" it male, and didn't know what to do when it began to lay eggs?

I don't think they are ignorant but they are misguided and being used as pawns. What they lived through is terrible with 17 of their own being murdered but I think they are wrong to rush to ban guns and give up their Rights to own a gun while pushing their knee jerk agenda on millions of law abiding gun owners.


Imagine if all guns were banned, confiscated and destroyed and then the black market emerged to fill the needs of criminals. The guns would come across the Southern border and it would almost be karma when the Dems start pounding on the tables in the Senate chamber about how badly we need a border wall.

Karma is a B***H as they say.

NONE of the Parkland survivors is demanding that all guns be banned—just assault rifles and Bumpstocks.

You deliberately misquoted their purpose. Shame on you—picking on kids.

They're not kids anymore. If they want to play in the big leagues they need to accept big league rules.

It's like how one doesn't get to be a strong, independent woman... who is also somehow a victim.
