    Yeah, instead of schools they go to gun free night clubs and concerts. Is that magic?

    The U.S. became the undisputed world leader by the 1950's. We were #1.

    Since then, the left has tried every conceivable way to tear us down so we can be more like the rest of the world. Gun control is just one of a thousand issues.

    Unfortunately, the left has won most of the battles and now we're a mid-level country. Thanks, guys.

    Yes, but SOME brains NEVER fully form......


    Teens who are fired up show that they PAY ATTENTION to what is happening in the country.......they KNOW that what happens now affects their future...



    No, they are using the media as a tool .....and it's working :) The media is part of Free speech.....do you hate that?

    If the media shows gun proponents/defenders THEY are being used as tools?

    If they walk out until gun laws are changed, then, no, they won't graduate. The gun laws will not change, so they will have to stay out. Anyway, better for my sons, as the liberals don't graduate.

    Of course they are. They fought against proper security measures that might have actually protected the kids, and now they want to protest against the constitutional rights of their fellow Americans.

    They should be SO proud....

    Yes, they will graduate, without a doubt. You are not in charge of anything but your own thoughts. The adults and parents in the school systems are supporting their kids, not you goofy people.

    As the restrictions you seek will likely never be enacted - no.

    Nothing beats standing on a pile of dead kids when trying to push an agenda.

    Nope. HS kids do little but eat, sleep and have sex.

    Let's be honest here...most of the kids walking out of school are doing it to skip a day of classes.

    If kids walk out and shut system down until meaningful gun reform happens, there are going to be a lot of students not graduating this year.

    . . . . For the benefit of garyd and other conservative vocabulary-challenged members of this forum. Unlike your buddy, I don't arbitrarily assign new meanings to the words I use and don't use them without knowing their meanings.

    This isn't a straw man argument.
    It's a red herring.

    What HS kids are doing is what we used to call 'ditching school'. Nothing more.

    Your denial is baseless without justification. An unsubstantiated denial is not a valid argument.

    Your OPINION is noted, as is your arbitrarily assigned conservative prerogative to challenge truth.

    All one has to do is read what I said and what i responded to and one would know It wasn't a straw man. Hell even one of you partners in form over substance chicanery, said it was false equivalence, I disagree with his assessment, but that has a better chance than straw man.
