I am not sure if this has been posted and I can't find it, so I'm leaving this here.
I don't intend on engaging in a huge debate. Rather I just would like proved this to anyone who hasn't caught it. Honestly I think it is very well done.

Why would I read a speech composed by a naive teenage girl regarding something she knows nothing about?

if all our government and President can do is send thoughts and prayers, then it's time for victims to be the change that we need to see.

Riiiight, because policies made on the basis of emotion always work out splendidly.

When it comes to making policy, I don't care how devastated she is about the shooting. Emotion doesn't replace logic.

This would be a reasonable thing to say if this were the first mass shooting in America's history. Unfortunately, there's been many and nothing has been done. It's not acting out of emotion anymore. Why does the clock reset after every mass shooting? "Give the families time to grieve." Sure, only for the next family to get prepared.

What do you mean "doing nothing"

Are you aware the homicide rate has been dropping for decades now?

I'll bet she knows more about school shootings than you do.

And mass shootings and the amount of deaths in mass shootings have gone up. You aware of that?

Heh, she must have been held back a couple of years.
Honestly, I didn't want to rip the same line as the article so I wrote that.
Plus, I couldn't find her age.

She needs to shut up and accept that mass shootings are part-and-parcel part of living in America!

Why are we parsing mass shootings out of homicides?

You are aware that's called "cherrypicking", right?

You would think logic would tell you to observe countries with strong gun control laws and see that they have barely a fraction of the gun deaths that we do.

You are aware that using statistically rare instances to make policy decisions is really dumb, right?

And that mass shootings are largely comprised of gang and drug-related violence, which aren't relevant to schools
