CO STEM vigil turns into gun control rally
« on: May 10, 2019, 07:20:24 AM »
The Brady Campaign hosted the vigil for the students involved in the CO school shooting.  Politicians then turned it into a gun control rally and the students rebelled.

Lessons to take away from this is we have to acknowledge the tragedy and loss the victims went through before we turn to gun rights arguments.  Sometimes we get so passionate about gun rights that we lose sight of the victims.

Also the gun control organizations are getting better organized and funded each year while the gun rights community remain stagnant.  The Brady Campaign/Everytown website and social media are much improved from before and they are branching out to these vigils, more rallies, and better grassroots involvement.

Students walk out of vigil for shooting victims after speakers talk gun control

This is covered in the main thread about the incident, including video of the actual walkout and video of the speech given by the tone-deaf Moms Demand Action "leader":
