It was not off topic. People are reacting on emotion and not looking at the big picture. I'm not one of those... "Pro-life". Never have been. You need to look up the meaning of "devil's advocate". Why is it ok for a teacher to pull the students out of class for a protest in this case but not others? It's not. Now it's OK to strike in protest? Yes, we all want safe schools, but when you protest you seek an end result. What is it? Protesting for school safety. Does that mean allowing me to be trained and permitted to carry at school? Many would say that's not what they seek, but many would say that would help.

It is really pretty clear what the people who are planning to participate in this protest want. They (we) want Congress to increase gun regulation. If that's not specific enough for you, or if you don't support this, then don't participate. But to hang out on the Internet and say, "But what do they want? I don't know what they want! They could be wanting anything! How can they protest if I don't know what they want?" -- well, what's your goal here? To stop other people's civic activism?

(And no, we don't all want safe schools. Or at least we don't all want safe schools more than we want other things. At this point, it seems clear that, to the few supporters of unlimited gun rights, unlimited gun rights are more important than safe schools.)[/quote]
