It would be hard to measure the accolades righteously given to the survivors, students and faculty of the Parkland school in Florida; suffice it to say that courage, audacity and determination are only some of the perceptive adulations describing them!
They have single-handedly started a movement, much like “Me Too” with crimes against women, in changing the thought process of gun violence in America, specifically concerning mass shootings.
My only suggestion is to keep the focus on the National Rifle Association and its shameful dominance over our state and federal legislators.
Follow the money and continue to award “shame” labels to any and all “political careerists” who would accept donations from gun lobbyists.
The NRA is the puppeteer or power behind the curtain, pulling the strings on all gun regulations.
It’s obvious to the rest of the world that this is more than a movement for all of you, it’s a mission and duty that you have selflessly and nobly undertaken in the memory of your fallen.
Most of us believe it to be a moral and righteous cause.
