Date: February 21st, 2018 4:10 PM Author: Pea-brained national On whether he has convinced anyone:
I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. I’m here to get us working because we have to.
On what policy he wants:
An absolute ban on assault rifles would be wonderful
On Republicans:
It should be a nonpartisan issue; the fact that it’s not is disgusting, and it’s a testament to how terrible these people are, like Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, President Trump, Vice President Pence, and people just all over the Senate and the state level, too, that are supported by the NRA
What about our kids? What about the future of America? These politicians don’t give a shit about that.
If I don’t take action — because our stupid politicians won’t — more are going to die.
We’re going to hold these sick politicians who prefer the murder of children to [losing] their reelection. We’re going to hold them accountable.
On having armed teachers or more security instead of gun control:
But I would also just not feel comfortable bringing more guns into a place that’s supposed to be about learning. I don’t think the solution to the problem is more violence
I don’t plan on going back to school until gun control legislation is passed, to the point where every American feels safe. I personally think every American should do the same thing
On the NRA:
The blood from all these 17 people who are dead now, and all the thousands of others who are dead as a result of gun violence — it’s on their hands and [on] the NRA.
On Americans:
We hate living in America because being in school, our lives are put at risk every day, and that’s unacceptable.
especially with so many people from the [National Rifle Association] and different gun-toting Americans who watch Fox News
In summary:
I’m a 17-year-old. What the fuck do I know? All I know is that what they’re doing is fucking wrong, and I know that lobbyists are sick fuckers. |
