Are you guys really sure you want to make fun of teenage kids reacting to a horrific, bloody slaughter at their school?
Is this really a good idea?
I would generally agree. But the question, nobody wants to address is what turned this child into a Monster. Experts have chimed in and I have yet to see a 60 minute segment devoted to it:
Secondly, one of the factors in many of these shootings is that the shooter was bullied a lot, in this case
by the same student body that claims the NRA are bullies:

Editorial: ‘Bullied a lot...’
"Marolo Alvarez, an 11th grade student at Parkland, remembers students taunting Nikolas Cruz.
Speaking to reporters at a vigil last month for the shooting victims and reported in the TC Palm of the USA Today network, he said he wished he had said something earlier.
“I could have said something to administrators, that ‘Hey this kid gets bullied a lot, please help him, please reach out to him.’ I kind of regret not doing that,” said Mr. Alvarez."
Seems reasonable to question the reasoning of those staging the protest.
Secondly, no one wants to place the blame on a link that is WIDELY associated with these killings, that is the use that nearly every shooter had to Antidepressants and mood altering drugs used in the treatment of ADHD.

Antidepressants Are a Prescription for Mass Shootings – Citizens Commission on Human Rights, CCHR
"Psychiatrists generally will tell you that these people were mentally ill and they weren’t treated in time or didn’t get enough help to prevent the tragedy. However, Dr. Peter Breggin, who is a psychiatrist, stated that depression rarely leads to violence and that it’s only since the SSRI’s came on the market that such mass shootings have taken place.
In a study of thirty-one drugs that are disproportionately linked to reports of violence toward others,
five of the top ten are antidepressants. These are Prozac, Paxil, Luvox, Effexor and Pristiq. Two other drugs that are for treating ADHD are also in the top ten which means these are being given to children who could then become violent.
One could conclude from this study alone that antidepressants cause both suicidal thoughts and violent behavior. This is a prescription for mass shootings.
No one can talk their way out of explaining how a person who is previously non-violent and given antidepressants suddenly becomes violent or suicidal. There are multiple cases of children who have committed suicide days after starting to take an antidepressant. In a YouTube video, various parents tell their story about what the antidepressants did to their kids."
You combine these drugs that change the reasoning in a developing brain, with a kid that has endured bullying for many years, and you create monsters.
It won't matter if you ban assault rifles, hand guns and sling shots, you have a young man (these prescriptions are given on a disproportional basis to boys, who by the way, are far more likely to become violent then females) who will believe that nothing will stop the bullying, that they are doomed to be harassed the rest of their lives, and they will act out violently. Either by taking their own lives, or those that he perceives as his enemy.
If it's not a gun, it will be a bomb, or a car. The tool is not important really, it is the resulting carnage and what we must do to stop it.
