First, people have the right to bare guns. And you can't take away firearms from the good people, because the bad one's are keeping theirs. The whole position of the kids, is to try to get the politicians to hear people and try to implement the wishes of most people. Democrats and Republican politicians act like it's their birthday and they do what they want, not what the people want. We hear every day about stalemates and that the elected officials can not work together. Well as the kids say, they are acting like kids, and the kids are acting like adults. It's disgraceful!!! We need to make some rules that if you can't solve these critical problems . . . no paycheck for you and you cannot run for office again. Maybe people will hear the kids, but I doubt it.

They are making a point and can’t help but be heard. Marching opens up a line of communication (better then the latest shoot em up movie). I don’t care that it’s just an excuse to get out of school. There is always a fly in the ointment. What people who are looking down on these protesters don’t realize is that in no time at all, it will all be forgotten. It’s not going to follow anybody around for life. Once you are out of high school, you are forgotten. You’re a blank slate again. So protest if you feel it’s for worthiness, go forth and be heard! Personally, I think it’s all for a good cause. Maybe it’ll change some things for the better but in one or two or three more years, it’ll all be forgotten. That’s how high school works....

It is deplorable to use the victims of a tragedy to facilitate a perverse political agenda. They are fragile, lashing out in unfocused anger, and easily manipulated by deceit.

I think the protesting students are doing what is right, the politicians and the NRA have to face reality, if they keep it up is great, these students are the voters of tomorrow, the U. S. A. and the world will be a better place when absolute gun control is introduced, and the crazy amendment of every American has the right to carry a gun is abolished, of course with their idiology this will never happen, i feel for the family and friends of students massed murdered every month.

How does one protect his home and family?
I never shoot defenseless animals, but I do like to fish.
What's the difference?
MY gun is for protection and target shooting.
It's logical to me. Not to trivialize that adults have been killed during these incidents, but most of the victims have been kids. They are the "leaders of tomorrow". Up until these massacres started to happen, it was widely thought that if anywhere a kid was going to be safe, it was in school. Not anymore. Unfortunately, I'm sure that there will be more. There are plenty of "sick kids" out there, kids that have been bullied, feel unwanted, laughed at, demoralized, have family problems ( not that any of these justifies violence to a normal person), will finally get the attention they crave, albeit in a negative way ( "their 15 minutes of fame"; a lifetime, and "then some" of infamy is "more like it") and have easy access to guns.
