So, Rich Lowry thinks that students involved in student gun-control advocacy are making the debate on gun control more poisonous and less civil! And of course they are doing so because they are teenagers and certainly not as wise as their parents, other adults and Lowry!
What Lowry neglects to mention is the undeniable reality that since the assault weapons ban expired on Sept. 13, 2004, there has been a marked increase in mass shooting, using assault weapons to kill Americans — mostly kids! It’s so easy to be civil when one hasn’t been in the sights of a maniac wanting to kill with an AR-15!
