Will Riley graduated from Carlsbad High in May of 2018. He organized a student walkout for students to show support of the Second Amendment  on May 2nd of 2018. The walkout was in response to previous student walkouts organized to call for infringements on Second Amendment  rights, including bans on some guns, raising the age of legal gun ownership, and restricting the ability of people to sell guns without government permission.

Riley has alleged that principal Adam Garcia Amador worked hard to prevent the pro Second Amendment demonstration. From current argus.com:

“I went to Amador so as not to disrupt the education process,” Riley said. “At every step of the way, including in this first meeting, he was immediately hostile and immediately attempted to intimate me.”

The 16-minute walkout allowed students to stand in favor of the Second Amendment, as opposed to a previous national movement by students who asked for stricter gun laws.

Riley alleged that Amador threatened him with arrest, and arranged a meeting with the teenager where Carlsbad Police Department officers were present.

I grew up in C’bad in the 50s and 60s. I am sure it has changed a lot. Back then there were 9 Potash mines that employed thousands of people. It used to be a pretty conservative place. I am sure it has changed a lot.

He will do great things in the USA in his future.

I didn’t know where till I saw the Current Argus and knew this was in New Mexico.

I should have graduated there but dad got a wild hair and dragged us kids kicking and screaming to a hillbilly Ozark school back in 1962. Carlsbad was the best school I ever went to.

At the tender age of 14, I used to go down to the hardware store in Carlsbad and slobber over the good looking guns for sale there. I received a .22 rifle that Christmas and then was able to buy my own ammo for 45 cents a box. No paperwork, cash and carry. Now I would have to wait till I was 18.
