A vigil for the victims of the recent shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch that was organized by Team ENOUGH, a student-led initiative that is part of pro-gun control group Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, did not go as planned as students walked out to protest the group's politicization of the tragedy.
During the vigil, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America activists, Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., each made remarks the students in attendance did not appreciate because, according to them, the adults were politicizing the event.
The students walked out of the event and held their own vigil outside the school.
Students had also chanted "mental health" in response to the speakers pushing for more gun control.
9NEWS anchor Kyle Clark reports some students returned to the gym and to continue their vigil, saying they did not want to be used to push for more gun control.
The Brady Campaign issued an apology to the students for the politicization of the vigil.
"We are deeply sorry any part of this vigil did not provide the support, caring and sense of community we sought to foster and facilitate and which we know is crucial to communities who suffer the trauma of gun violence," the group said.
Moms Demand Action did not provide a comment in time for publication.
***The Brady Campaign***
The old Handgun Control Inc. under a new name. But now they want to also ban rifles, along with handguns.
Maybe Tranny control. Trannies are getting way out of hand...
“We need to find a way to get the psychopaths off the streets.”
Been saying that for decades. Members of our ‘Elite Class’ aren’t getting killed by loonies roaming free, or the laws would already be changed.
Screw We The People and our kids. *SPIT*
The gun-grabbers must have called the media to be there otherwise they would not have been there to highjack the memorial. Yet I’ve not seen any video of this event.
Yep. Still trying to take away our gun rights since President Reagan & James Brady were shot - by a LUNATIC, mind you - who is basically FREE again! Aarrgghh!
The plan MUST be to disarm us to the greatest extent possible, then let the Lunatics run the Asylum. ;)
(They won’t win this one, though!)
There, I fixed it for accuracy.
If they ran the kids over with a Car would Liberals demand Car control?
Dont forget to read comments.
These kids maybe, just maybe are wising up. Their generation is being unprotected and then exploited for fund raising on gun grabbers. They see banks and even Walmarts are protected with guns, and play video games to start to connect the dots to know they are sitting ducks. Time to offer teachers $15k extra a year to take firearm safety courses and active shooter scenarios, and be certified. Lay you money you would have teachers jumping at the opportunity. Most know that they will never have to draw, because the site of an armed person alone is a all kids need to see to thwart an attack.
