Reaction To The Anti-Gun Walkout

Yesterday's walkout from school, by various teenagers, was called #NationalWalkoutDay or other hashtags on Twitter, but I regard it as a march against civil rights.  This is because the ownership of firearms, except for convicted felons, is a civil right protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.  Let me be clear about this.  I'm not saying that the Amendment creates or establishes that right, but that it protects a right which was given to me by my Creator.  If you want to know more, read the Declaration of Independence.  This means that if you are marching to restrict the right of law-abiding people to keep and bear arms, you are marching against civil rights.

Let me add some reactions that I found on the above-mentioned Twitter.  First, here's a Tweet which points out a contradiction inherent in these teenagers' positions.

Liberalism.

When you believe teenagers don't know enough about guns to own them, but know enough about guns to decide whether or not YOU should own them.

Here's another Tweet showing how these teenagers were showing no bravery whatsoever.

Did anyone notice how Orwellian the #NationalStudentWalkout was? 1984 called and says it wants its totalitarian plot back. #IngSoc#NationalWalkoutDay #TheGreatAwakening #2A @POTUS pic.twitter.com/5p4K6cPsG2

It seems that these teenagers need to realize that there is nothing brave about expressing opinions which authority approves of.

Finally, from The Daily Wire, comes the story of what happened to a teen who dared to express a different opinion.  It appears that freedom of speech, as far as the authorities of one school are concerned, applies only to what they agree with.  From TDW:

On Wednesday, a student at a high school in Minnesota joined his classmates who were participating in the National School Walkout and was singled out and removed by his principal for holding a sign that said, "Guns Don’t Kill People, People Kill People."

This young man, who was even offered a free ride in a police car, is the only teenager I've read about in this episode who in my opinion deserves to be called "brave".  Read the full story.
