Actually RISchadenfreude, I was referring to the comment that davebarry109 made regarding the students. I didn't mention the former supreme court justice or other media. These students are not demanding to ban all guns. If you want people to respect your point of view, you must be willing to respect their point of view as well. Change only comes about when people are willing to see both sides of an issue. I do not support a ban on guns. I support safety measures put in place so that people that are not mentally stable are not able to legally purchase a gun. I think that someone with a history of violence should be red-flagged in the system so that they are not able to have easy access to a gun. If you believe that those measures infringe on your right to bear arms, then what about another’s right to live? Does your right supersede their right?

Students that attend schools where a mass shooting has occurred are victims regardless of if they were in school that day or not. Friends were lost on that day, the entire atmosphere in the halls has changed. They will be forever marked by the actions of a man and his weapon. The students at Sandy Hook were too young to put words into action. The students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are able to put their fear and anger into action. They are challenging the adults to step up and do something that will put a stop to the unnecessary violence. Hopefully, this time we will listen.
