      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.

      High school kids generally don't have a sprawling, fully-developed political critique, but they know they're disempowered and don't want adults' tokenistic offerings of thoughts and prayers. So they seize on the methods of asserting power that are available to them.

      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.

          Very well said! It is a widely felt grievance. I don’t think they’ll be appeased by shallow platitudes, or tinkering at the margins. That’s a great way to put it — made me laugh out loud. :) :)

          My high school activism in the late 60s set my left politics for life. As for Occupy, it created a vocabulary about wealth distribution that hasn’t existed in this country since the depression, and actually sharper now.
