[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So what do kids accomplish by not going to class?[/quote]
At a minimum, they have kept the conversation about gun violence going. Evidence? This thread.[/quote]

In high school?  a TON.  Half the school will be 18 the next presidential election, and they are not a demographic that votes in high numbers.  If politicians see that they are organized and motivated and that the gun control is an issue that will get the registered and to show up to vote?  They will start to be influenced. You better believe it.[/quote]

Theoretically but it will have no effect bc it will happen in states that are already blue. I have nieces/nephews in the Midwest -- Nebraska, Kansas etc. -- NO ONE walked out. Their schools even said they wouldn't be punished and yet they didn't. Bc they grew up around gun culture and in their peers' eyes, voting in any politician supporting gun control is shooting your own self in the foot if you can't get the gun of your choice at 18. So this whole -- OMG it's SOOOOO important bc these kids will be 18 by Nov. -- yeah well those kids live in NY, MD. NJ, etc., places that are already blue. It won't even matter for purple places -- for every one kid in Pa. who is for gun control, there are 2-3 that are taking the first day of hunting season off to go shooting with their dads and ain't no way they want to elect someone who will take away/make it harder to get ANY kind of gun, whether they own that one or not.[/quote]
