David Hogg is a human shield being thrown up by the anti-2nd Amendment people, a straw man and a sacrifice to be attacked by the ravenous wolves of the Right, a “spokesman” for the shooting victims of Parkland.

REAL cure for future gun violence - make it MANDATORY that every high school student take, and pass, a weapons familiarization course, in the care, feeding, grooming and PROPER use of weapons capable of firing a projectile with enough force to injure or kill a human being. This serves a dual purpose - it demystifies the pistol, rifle, or shotgun as a device, and it also serves to identify the ones who would use these weapons in a careless or a malicious manner.

And, while you are at it, remove the “gun-free zone” from as many places as it is now applied, not only in schools, but in government offices and places of business everywhere. If a would-be mass murderer is faced with an indeterminate number of bullets that could be coming right back at him, it may ameliorate their thinking just a little, and certainly result in a much more rapid response time if the limits of normal circumspect behavior are exceeded.

Don’t annoy other people. And do not be annoyed too easily yourself, taking umbrage at some imagined “privilege” of others.

Great idea.

I sort of like the idea of a sign which states simply, "You don't know whether or not we have guns. Think about it."
