Jeri,

Please see my postings before commenting. I had posted about the present student activists that are making demands in schools.

Gun violence is not mainly caused by AR-15s,nor are student deaths , by a large amount, caused by gun violence.

If the students had concerns about student deaths, they could address drunk driving ( when do we raise the age for ALL DRINKING TO 21, AND ENFORCE IT?) , distracted driving (lets make cell phones illegal to the under 21 year olds), and being hit by lightning ( a greater chance than being shot in a school)

If a person at 18 is NOT mature enough to own a gun, I do NOT think they are mature enough to drive a car, decide to have an abortion, or use drugs such as pot. All more deadly by the statistics. Nor should they vote or serve on juries.

Are you trying to reduce deaths, or take away guns? Given the known number of deaths PREVENTED by firearms, the removal of guns FROM LAW-ABIDING citizens would leave a net INCREASE in gun deaths.

Why don't we outlaw shooting other people instead?

Oh yeah, we already have AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. We must need more laws, since the ones we keep passing fail to stop the criminals.
