The rising of their collective voices supports my hope, I see and hear them, this makes me feel better that the youth of this country, tomorrow's America is really now! They, with their clear minds, can see distinctly what the problem is. It is simple, it is a solution, stop the NRA from contributing to politician's coffers, get realistic about bans on assault rifles, and please, don't give us crap about this or that automatic weapon isn't really an assault rifle.
Time after time, interview after interview, the call is clearly heard as the students, the victims of our inaction and reluctance, call us out for our failing them. The parents? They rage and plead and tell us why? Why did this murder that is in Congress' hands had to occur?
But the collective conscience of the youth, the teenagers who are speaking out is set to demand that change is enacted and that the consecrated halls of the Capitol Dome are where it must begin. That we put our children first, not only for today but for tomorrow, when my grandchildren and yours attend schools and my children send those kids off to learn to feel secure that school is a safe place, not a target range for some manic to take aim at.
So, from this horrific event, I feel good about the youth of America, they show sense, the good old-fashioned kind, the common sense. They are tomorrow's leaders, I'm proud of them.
There is nothing wrong with owning guns. Thirty and forty years ago there were no issues, what changed? What changed is the availability of assault rifles became prevalent and advertised, and when we do that we make a change we don't see.
Only 1% to a little over that of mass shootings come from assault guns, and that is an NRA argument to keep them. What they don't argue is the disproportionate numbers it kills in victims.
