Also, the last people I want in control of my rights is the Federal Gov. you should be marching in your own state over these issues. Where I live, we already have the strictest gun control laws, background checks, FOID Cards, etc. ALL our schools you need to get buzzed in to enter. It’s always been this way. This is a state by state problem- not a Federal issue. If it was, Obama’s would have done something when he was in office.

Excerpts:
DALLAS — The nation’s largest gun lobby on Monday brushed aside criticism from a Dallas city council member calling for the National Rifle Association to move its annual convention out of Dallas.

Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway said Monday the NRA would be “met with opposition” if they continue with the planned event from May 4-6 in downtown Dallas.

“There will be marches and demonstrations should they come to Dallas,” Caraway said.

Caraway, who was the 60th mayor of Dallas, stopped short of saying his city should cancel the NRA convention which will take place at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas May 3-6.

Caraway is a gun enthusiast who boasts owning a gun “in every room” of his home. But he asked the NRA to “step up to the plate” and call for the ban of assault rifles or hold their convention in another city.

He made the statement in the wake of the Florida shooting tragedy after 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz gunned down 17 of his former classmates and faculty at a Parkland, Florida high school last week.

“It is a tough call when you ask the NRA to reconsider coming to Dallas, but it is putting all citizens first, and getting them to come to the table and elected officials to come to the table and to address this madness now,” Caraway said.

“I have five guns, one in my car, one in every room of my house,” said Caraway, 65. “I am saddened at the fact that every time that we turn around is some type of gun violence.”

Caraway called on the NRA to “stop the madness” now before more children are killed. […]

I have 4 nieces and 2 nephews belonging to *Generation Z.* They’ve already committed to being a part of the “MARCH FOR OUR LIVES” on March 24th.

Please. Don’t.Stop. This issue is much too important to allow the intestine focus it’s receiving be quickly shoved aside by an American news media (as well as an American citizenry) afflicted w/ATTENTION DEFICIT eager to move on to the next new *shiny* story -as has repeatedly been done, time and time again, since the Columbine School Massacre, on April 20, 1999.

I am AMAZED by what I’m seeing in Generation Z!!! And at the same time my heart breaks for them.

Because of the collective FAILURE of Us (ADULTS) young people all across this nation have quickly come to the conclusion that – if their lives are to be saved, going forward -they MUST lead the fight to save themselves.

“…and a little child shall lead them.” – Isaiah 11:6, KJV

You are spot on about this generation getting involved. They seem like they could actually make a difference and get some changes made. After all they will be the ones voting in a few years. I can’t wait to see how the march they are planning goes. I wish them all success.
