A 13-year-old running for governor in Vermont is highlighting gun control in his platform.
Ethan Sonneborn, who declared his candidacy last year, is calling for stricter gun control in his home state, and told CNN in an interview published Friday that the refreshed national conversation on guns in the aftermath of the Florida school shooting presents a “good opportunity to make change.”
“There's always been a sense of, 'We don't talk about that in politics.' That's what I wanted to change," Ethan told CNN. "I wish it didn't take a tragedy for us to become involved in a national dialogue about how we move forward, but we can't go back in time and make it that Parkland didn't happen. And while we're in this moment, I think it's a good opportunity to make change."
Ethan emphasized that he is respectful of the state’s prominent hunting culture.
“It's a culture that I respect," he said. "But if it's making the decision between letting my friends have a good time at a firing range and them possibly being involved in a school shooting, I'm choosing legislation to protect them from that school shooting."
Conor Casey, executive director of the state’s Democratic Party, praised Ethan for taking on the issue of gun control early in his campaign.
"Ethan really did embrace the gun issue early on,” Casey told CNN. “He's representing younger people and he's been a good voice for them."

He's a parrot repeating democrat code phrases.
This is one of the Bluest states in the country.
Maybe VT will elect a kid as governor? Who knows.
Ho hum a 13 year old running for governor. I can top that, we already have a governor that acts like a 13 year old.
I think it's possible that one day Ethan may get AIDS. He should be forced to become a eunuch so that he may not possibly infect others.
Funny I just watched this old episode of the Riffleman called “The Anvil Chorus”.
One of the towns people temporarily takes over as marshal, and decides that the town will be safer if he takes everyone’s guns while they are in town. The result is rather interesting.
This is an epic episode:

Who forgot an age requirement to be governor?
Isiah 3:4-5
An old Chinese proverb: when children rule, adults are fools.
You might enjoy the episode linked in post #6. It makes your point.
Ethan, how about raising the driving age to 21? Do your friends support that? I mean, if it’s a choice between driving to get a burger, and being killed in a car crash, the choice is easy.
And all this time I thought “Wild in the Streets” was just a movie, not a prophecy.
Exactly.
The idiot’s been coached by his libtard parents. When I was 13 year old, politics was NEVER in my mind and it’s obvious he was brainwashed. No 13-year old boy thinks of anything except video games, video games and games...and girls.
We had a president with the emotional maturity of an ill-socialized eight year old too.
“A 13-year-old running for governor in Vermont is highlighting gun control in his platform. “
Sounds about right.
He should ban alcohol too since it kills thousands of kids every year.
“There’s always been a sense of, We don’t talk about that in politics.”
He learned that last month when he reached puberty.
(Yeah, I know that's not a word...)
