To help try to pass tougher gun laws, victims(and victim supporters) stood outside the White House on President’s Day. As a way of showing how dangerous guns could be, 17 students layed down on the ground for about 3 minutes, and this displayed how easily guns could kill a mass of people.
The Lie in was the best way they could’ve expressed their thoughts, they were politically active for the right reasons. Their request is simple and beneficial to 100,000+ people.
When machine guns were first made, in World War 1, it was really easy to kill tons of people with just one gun. With that amount of power in the hands of a teenager, or ANYONE who shouldn’t have it, it’s a huge threat to society.

I agree that's it is very sad that our country has had so many shootings compared to other parts of the world. Hopefully peaceful protests like this one call attention to the problems.

ReplyDeleteI did my current events on this as well. These events are so tragic, and it's amazing to see these teens coming together to protest peacefully. This demonstration was very powerful, and I hope more light is shed on the subject
