Media Prop Up High School Gun Control Advocates At March For Our Lives

Ben Shapiro

On Saturday, a myriad of pro-gun control high schoolers took to the stage of the March for Our Lives to misinform Americans about gun rights, the National Rifle Association, and Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), among other various and sundry targets. Their speeches offered no real solutions other than blanket condemnation of firearms and Second Amendment advocates.

The ubiquitous David Hogg, who has routinely claimed that his political opponents have blood on their hands, yelled, “We will come together. We will get rid of these public servants that only serve the gun lobby …You are those heroes.” Cameron Kasky stated, “Shooting after shooting, the American people now see one thing they all have in common: the weapons. Politicians, either represent the people or get out. The people demand the ban of assault weapons.” This sort of talk predominated at the rally; the students wore tags that read “$1.05,” supposedly the amount of money Rubio was willing to take from the NRA per student to allow them to die.
