Thousands of students across Florida have walked out of their classrooms in protest over gun laws as they showed support for the teen survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High shooting who are rallying in the state's Capitol.

Students from across the entire state participated in the mass walk out to honor the 17 people killed in the deadly massacre in Parkland a week ago.

The vast majority of teen protesters gathered on Wednesday at the scene of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High wearing the school's colors and brandishing signs.

They have vowed to make the tragedy a turning point in America's deadlocked debate on gun control.

I think it’s proper to dock the teachers and administrators pay, afterall they aren’t doing their jobs.

Let’s make a deal with these teenage geniuses...

We will make new laws for gun control in exchange for laws banning profanity in music (rap), gun violence in movies and the ban of all violent video games that glorify violence of any sort, especially gun violence. And restrict those below 21 from certain web access.

Take it further... you have to be 21 to buy certain video games and music, watch violent movies.

Then watch these foolish kids scream First Amendment rights... while we answer with Second Amendment rights.

Here in Ocala, actually yesterday, there was small counter protest where people were holding signs saying “Arm the Teachers” and carrying Battle of Gonzalez flags - “Come and Take It”.

He bought ten guns with no job and dead parents. The people he was staying with, didn’t know how many guns he had. Something aint right here.

There was a post here yesterday discussing the fact that this infected pustule had inherited something like $800K from his parents, and that may have played a role in the eagerness of the latest people he was staying with to host him. I guess that would buy a lot of guns. But how did his latest hosts not know about them? Hmmm.

Are we to take seriously a generation that eats packets of laundry detergent for entertainment?

Some idiot kid on the news was screeching about how they were starting a revolution. She wouldn’t know a real revolution if it bit her on the ass; and she would likely not like what happened to her in a real revolution. Real revolutions are pretty dicey affairs, with a great deal of anarchy and lawlessness and “anything goes.” Real revolutions are generally very ugly things to go through.

Increase the age to buy a weapon to 21 ?
Why not increase it and the age to vote to 25 ?

Children have tantrums. Hopefully, they grow out of it.

There were 582 drug overdose deaths
in Broward county in 2016. Me thinks
these misdirected adolescents are
barking up the wrong tree.
Why aren’t these liberal miscreants
screaming and hollering to try and
stop a far more serious threat that
is killing our children?

Because it's not about facts and real threats, it's about politics.
