Shouldn’t such a thing be implicit in our civilization? You refrain from gun violence, unless you are defending yourself or another. How are we to the point where such a pledge is necessary? Oh, right, liberalism! My bad. They had to tear down (fundamentally transform) that stuffy, old culture that had standards and the like, to replace it with ...... Liberia?
A noble effort with hopes of keeping gun related crimes down. I suggest they take the names of EVERY one of those kids and within the next few years compare it to crimes where guns were involved, then tell me how good that pledge worked. While I am NOT against those kids taking that oath, living by it is another kettle of fish.
Just an observation but looking at the photo, it would appear those “kids” are all of the black race.
As I am fond of pointing out in this an other forums "gun violence" is a morally specious category.
