In videos called "The Lost Class," two pro-gun public speakers addressed 3,044 empty chairs representing gun violence victims.
A gun violence prevention group has released videos in which they trick famous pro-gun figures into addressing a sea of empty chairs, representing children and teenagers who were shot and killed before they could graduate from high school.
Change the Ref, a gun safety organization founded by Patricia and Manuel Oliver, whose son Joaquin was murdered in the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, released the videos Wednesday.
As drone videos show sweeps of thousands of empty white seats, overlaid audio from 911 calls brings in the terrified voices of students trapped in schools while bullets are flying.
Speaking to the empty chairs in the first video is NRA board member David Keene, who was the pro-gun group's president from 2011 to 2013.
Keene invokes the Virginian founding father, namesake of the fake James Madison Academy he thinks he's addressing, to ask that the graduating students uphold the second amendment that Madison is credited with authoring.
A woman who answered the phone at Keene's home declined to comment.

Yes those kids would still be there if their classrooms had armed teachers
*Yawn* NBC ‘news’ tried a ‘gotcha’, that’s sure going to make me turn-in all my firearms.
and not a single one of the 3,040 children were killed by a gun!!!!!!!!!
someone killed them with a gun. Someone did it. not the gun.
blaming the gun and not the person using it is idiotic.
“Gun control”is a political agenda. Those who push it give zero cares for children and sadly use parents as tools for the agenda. From what I understand, most mass murdering psychopaths were always known by law enforcement, local communities, schools and psychological entities but easily murdered at will. American schools are also poorly protected willfully by the left that generally controls them.
