Better to frame the recent high school walkouts and related activism not merely as pro-gun control; that's a component, but it seems more a generalized reaction against a shallow political culture which comes into full focus in the aftermath of mass shootings.

The grievances they're expressing can be ill-defined, but that doesn't make them any less legitimate. And it also doesn't necessarily mean that some legislative body passing a law to tinker at the margins of gun regulation is a sufficient redress of their grievances.

Several of them also specifically iterate that they intend to vote out politicians (on any side) who do not genuinely take or support legislative action. So the MSM is dishonest to frame this as only a gun-reform issue, it's a politics-as-usual that needs reform.

And yet I’m already seeing that shallow political culture already trying to wrap those kids in their cocoon.

Interesting too how the pushback against them gets worse the longer the movement goes on. NRA and others annoyed that the kids don't lose interest with the next news cycle like national media does.

I would love to champion those kids. But these kids are tools. They are not the kids I meet on the street. These are well-groomed aspiring neo-Dems who want cushy checks from CNN. I say
