Is the new movement against gun violence that is sweeping America too white and too rich?

It's a question hotly debated on social media as hundreds of thousands rallied on Saturday in support of the #NeverAgain campaign that emerged after 17 people were killed in a gun attack at a high school in Parkland, Florida, last month.

Yeah! Gun control is racist!

That’s the ticket, as the race card stops everything in its tracks.

I prefer they ban idiots instead of guns. I know of hundreds of guns that have never jumped out of their holsters and shot someone, I also know there have been hundreds if IDIOTS that have. A gun is nothing more than a tool for the task YOU INTEND IT TO BE USED. Better to ban idiots, not guns.

Maybe the old timers are reminding them of the Black and Slave codes in which even a FREE BLACK man was forbidden to own a gun.

God, I love this.

YES! THE GUN CONTROL MOVEMENT IS TOO WHITE! Plus, they don't include all 1,289,472 genders! And by travelling around, THEY CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING AND KILL POLAR BEARS! Also, they use Hate Speech -- GUNS ARE PEOPLE TOO!

I feel microaggressed.

Don’t know if it’s “too white” but it’s certainly not too bright.

Screw the BBC.

Ironic that this is being reporting in the BBC....their English ancestors tried to confiscate the firearms of the American colonists.
