Every other demographic has failed to bring about change on this issue, so I have no problem with children jumping into the fray.

Hopefully young people will not just talk, but vote in the future.

In reply to Chrissy

politics is a beast within itself and adults have difficulty understanding it fully never mind children who most times are idealistic

The gun debate could use a heavy dose of idealism combined with actual voting by young people

no problem there but i would like to advance that voting is a different animal than political speeches

True, but I think these kids are tired of hearing adults giving political speeches and then doing nothing

Kids have every right to have their voices heard since they are the ones most suffering from the school shootings! Maybe if no one can make the politicians see sense, maybe the pleadings of the nations children will...

Adults are far more accepting of hypocrisy duplicity and speeches from those with forked tongues. The young have not been so corrupted yet so it is wise to hear them out.
