You children can chant, protest and walk out all your little hearts desire. It will change nothing, I still have all my guns, and they aren't going anywhere any time soon. I watched 4 bully videos on Facebook today, you wanna know why your peers are walking into school shooting each other? I do not see one of you protesting bullying. Until your 18 and old enough to vote your opinion doesn't matter.

Nothing is going to change, guns are not going anywhere. You try to put your opinion and your feelings above the constitutional right of Americans. News for you and all the other children, we will not allow our rights to be infringed on by any one else, especially children.

And it accomplished nothing.

The merit of your claims and arguments are what exactly? If owning a gun is protected by the 2nd amendment then what could you possibly have as an argument? There is no such thing as an assault rifle, banning any type of firearm is an infringement on the 2nd, changing the age to 21 is also an infringement on the 2nd as a person is of legal age at 18. So please tell us what your argument is? We all want to know how you and your peers plan to resolve the issue of mass shootings in schools?

Well SlyRy and C DeVine they constitution has been amended 27 times, in order for an amendment to be amended it takes 3/4 of the senate and the house, and then 3/4 of the states all to agree in order for a ratification to pass. Even tho it is possible to ratify the 2nd, it is so unlikely that it would ever occur, that I would say close to impossible. Guns are not the problem, children immediately blame the tool not the criminal. When a driver drunk driving kills someone, do you blame the car or the driver? When a doctor kills someone during a routine medical procedure do you blame the doctor or the scalpel? When a person dies from heart disease or diabetes do you blame Mc Donalds for the crap food they eat, or do you blame the person for making poor decisions? When a teenager texting while driving kills a family of three, do you blame the cell phone or do you blame the person driving? These children are clueless, to blame the gun is just ignorant of reality. Instead of focusing their time and power to change things that are more possible, that would impact school shootings immediately, they instead protest to ban so called assault rifles, age restriction for buying guns, 30 day waiting periods, etc. Not any where do I hear protests for additional armed security, locked down schools with central entry point, bullet proof school bags, locks for doors, bullet proof glass, proper training for police, proper training for students and staff, or even armed staff in the building. All those things are changes that could help prevent mass shootings in schools, are relatively quicker to enact and are changes that would be seen immediately. Then there is the no bullying, report what you see, and be proactive in helping those that need support.

Well all you here these children screaming about is no guns ban this ban that. So please tell what it is they want?

Private gun sales are not the issue, i agree all private gun sales must have a back ground check. But almost all the guns used in mass shootings have been purchased legally. So how would preventing private sales prevent another mass shooting? You want action, then force Congress to make a law requiring anyone with depression, bi-polar and any other potentially dangerous mental illness to be reported by every doctor to the police. Once police are notified they are obligated to start the legal process to exclude them from gun sales and/or remove already obtained guns. You want action, make strict and harsh federal law classifying bullying as a hate crime punishable by prison time. You want action, encourage state legislators to force strict preventive school building codes that make it mandatory for a closely managed entry system into buildings, make metal detectors mandatory, every school must have a mandatory resource officer on location during all school hours and events. I do not see one, child or one liberal demanding any of these changes. The changes that would truly minimize a mass casualty event in schools and other public venues. But your all quick to point the finger at the gun, which isn't the cause of these events.

Stricter gun control? How much more strict do you want it? You cannot be a felon, no history of violence, or commitment in a mental institution. You must be 18 to buy a shotgun or rifle and 21 for a pistol. Back ground checks are already done. You have to understand gun laws and legislation are done by the state at the state level, not by the federal government. There is no other gun control or legislation that would have prevented the Florida shooting or 90% of all mass shootings. Most of the shootings in history in the US have been done by a lawful person with mental defect. Now most of the stuff I hear from these children is they want universal background checks (already done) but there are about half of the states that allow private gun sales without a background check. I agree that those private gun sales should also require a back ground check. But as I mentioned most shooters have been legal to own, and I do not recall any mass shooting conducted by a person who bought firearms through a private sale. Regarding the age! If your old enough to vote, and old enough to go to war for your country, and old enough to be charged as an adult for a crime then there is no way you can tell someone 18 they cannot own a rifle or a shotgun. If you change the age to 21, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote till 21, and you shouldn't be allowed to be sent to war till your 21. So what other strict gun law changes would you like to see? Please enlighten us? Let me guess a waiting period? Okay lets just say you do a 3 day waiting period. Do you think a mentally ill person isn't going to wait three days, five days or even ten days? Most mass shootings are premeditated by weeks if not months. Again tell us what gun reform do you want to see?

Stricter regulation on who have a gun? Give me an example of who shouldn't have a gun, that did have a gun and was involved in a mass shooting? These children are not able to vote now, is what I said. And until they are of age to vote then their opinion does not matter. Now in a year and the next presidential election they are older then 18 then they can vote and their opinion does matter, till then they are children who cannot see the whole picture. If you change the age to buy guns to 21, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote till your 21. So please tell us who had a gun that shouldn't have had a gun? If you mention any of the shooters like this Florida shooter, I say this. Your right he shouldn't have had a gun, why? Because he was mentally unstable and mentally ill, but till laws are passed on who is responsible to report this and to what agency we will never stop it. Then you run into issues with due process another constitutional right. So like I said to Melina, what gun legislation that could be passed that does not infringe on Americans 2nd Amendment right, that would have prevented any of these mass shootings?

Telling them what? That their opinion doesn't matter?
