Brainwashed Kids Say “We Will Be The Last Mass Shooting”

This is exactly what happens when impressionable kids are brainwashed by both a leftist media and their equally left-wing teachers. ……

God bless children, but they know nothing save for tidbits of knowledge gleaned from their left-wing schools, the left-wing media and the very left-wing entertainment industry.

And so it should surprise nobody that brainwashed kids from Florida, where last week a 19-year-old maniac killed 17 during a mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, are now championing left-wing gun control policies and claiming, “We will be the last mass shooting,” as reported by USA Today:

Students at a power-packed rally in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday made impassioned pleas for legislation to regulate guns. “We will be the last mass shooting,” Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Emma Gonzalez declared to wild cheers.

Their calls for gun control have been steadily growing since the school shooting. Twenty-four hours after a gunman killed 17 at the school in Parkland, Fla., senior David Hogg implored lawmakers to take action.

“We are children; you guys are the adults,” Hogg told CNN. “You need to take some action and play a role. Work together. Come over your politics and get something done.”

God bless these kids’ hearts, but their belief that mere legislation could transform mass shootings from an inexorable characteristic of contemporary life to a figment of history isn’t just naive — it’s impossible.

Add to that the fact that Democrats politicians have yet to propose a single policy that would have prevented last week’s shooting, let alone the the shooting in Las Vegas late last year.

And according to Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire, even when Democrats controlled the White House, the House and the Senate, they themselves passed no relevant gun control measures.

“If the Left were to propose a piece of legislation, they’d have to defend it on the merits. They wouldn’t be able to posture about how ‘everyone but those evil Second Amendment advocates agrees!’ Because not everyone would agree with their proposals. In fact, most people typically haven’t,” he wrote last week.

“Which is why Democrats, enjoying a 60-vote majority in the Senate and a wide majority in the House from 2009-2011, passed precisely zero major pieces of gun legislation — and why when Barack Obama attempted to use the Social Security Administration to seize guns from elderly people who used a proxy for their finances, even the ACLU opposed him.”

Look, if these kids genuinely want to make a difference, I recommend they consider pursuing reasonable preventative measures involving perhaps improved mental health care and definitely a grossly less incompetent FBI.

But if they instead seek to use draconian gun regulations to bring about some perfect utopia where mass shootings disappear into the dustbins of history, then I’m sorry to say, but they’re being very childish.
