GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

As for their gun-specific knowledge, I've read more bullshit by purported gun experts and enthusiasts earlier on in this thread than I've heard from these kids who don't claim to be experts. I don't think they need to be matured scholastically or gun experts to understand the impacts of gun violence and be effective at pushing for change. They know what it feels like to watch their friends get slaughtered, hide in closets fearing for their lives, be the object of baseless bullshit and character assassination by the NRA and some of its supporters, be told to just accept and deal with it and that nothing's going to change. That makes them more qualified than almost anyone else to confront the issue, in my opinion.

That's true, they don't know anything about being parents either but they still get pregnant. I say let them march, they need the fresh air and exercise.

That makes no sense. What does getting pregnant have to do with anything? Nothing, that's what.

While they don't have experience being parents and none of them appears to be pregnant (though that's completely irrelevant to the issue at hand), they have very unfortunately experienced a mass shooting.

You have experience being a parent but you have not experienced a mass shooting. But, we'll let you talk about it anyway. You need the outlet.
