The mudstream media would like for you to believe that protesting for gun control is not a political issue. Most all of us now have heard of, if not seen, of school walkouts protesting for better gun control. Now, one has to wonder how many of these students fell for the mudstream media’s ploy that the only way to solve the problem of school shootings is gun control. I, for one, believe that many of the students participated because “If you’re not for us, you’re against us.” Many of them just wanted to be part of a riot, or just to get out of class for a few minutes. Of course, students had a choice to go to study hall or another class so they would not have to participate, but they were still intimidated by the “you’re against us” group. I am sure that many teachers and school officials “encouraged” participation.

One student went out and joined his group to support the memories of those lost, but was removed from the group by school officials because he wore a T-shirt supporting the NRA. Another student opted to not join either group by staying in his classroom. He was expelled from school for not following directions or for being not monitored. In other words, he was being forced to join one group or the other. Of course, you probably have not heard or seen that some students joined in small groups in support of the memories of those killed but also supported the NRA, which was not covered by the “fair and balanced” mudstream media.

I, for one, do not believe that school shootings will end with stricter gun control. Bad guys will still get guns and shoot in schools.
