'We will be the last mass shooting,' said Emma Gonzalez, a senior at the high school who took cover on the floor of the auditorium as a shooter rampaged through the building

Lol, funny enough, some of the protesting students might have a gun hidden inside his/her locker.


Most of the students protesting are experts in pulling the trigger at the slightesst provocation...They can finger the trigger like a guitar. Pretenders!!!!


Donald Trump should attend to other pressing issues rather than this one. It's just like fighting corruption in Nigeria.... It's fruitless.

I just cried as I watched this photos,Hod help your people

The NRA is not going to be pleased

Watched the CNN Townhall meeting with students,Parents,members of the NRA and Senator Macio Rubio..I was surprised seeing High school children standing up to their elected officials and asking for sensible Guns laws.They were not being shouted upon by claiming adults are talking..It isn't like here where if your parents are Christians you also must be one or else you are condemned for life..

However I think this battle would be won..It is moderm day battle against slavery but this time around it is about Guns..Yes that is it..If that of slavery could be won,This too would be won.

If an 18 Year Old cannot buy Alcohol,an 18 Year must not be able to handle a Gun..Simple as ABC

And someone posted in another thread that Nigerians should be allowed to have access to firearms like Americans! With the high level of frustration in Nigeria, it will be corpses everywhere!
