Hundreds of students at Madison High School marched to the state Capitol on Friday to demand an “assault weapons” ban after the December 16, 2024, Abundant Life Christian School handgun attack.

The Cap Times reported the students chanted “books, not bullets” and “no more silence, end gun violence.” The Wisconsin Examiner quoted the high schoolers saying, “Graduations not funerals.”

Once at the Capitol, the students called for an “assault weapons” ban and enhanced background checks.

The students did not mention that the alleged 15-year-old shooter did not use a firearm categorized as an “assault weapon” nor did she buy her gun at retail, which means point-of-sale background checks would not have hindered her in the least.

How about a counter rally against free speech? Why not end the entire Bill of Rights?
Damned commies!

I will not minimize the Abundant Life Christian School tragedy, or any tragedy.

But it’s worth noting that the worst mass killing at a school in US history was accomplished with explosives. So it’s not the device. It’s the person.

They were just there for the free trip to DC and time away from their parents.

The problem was that she was a radical male hating nutcase. But the kiddos are fine with that.

Some organization paid for their trip, they were just props. They got a free trip out of it and got to spend some ‘lone time with their libtard girls.

You know those types, the type you’d want to go on a field trip with ;)

It could have been a hammer and they still call for an assault weapons ban. The evil running the public schools support all this Communist s***.

Irrationality will always win over basic logic.

Some lunatic drove a vehicle through a crowd at a Christmas market in Germany. As of now, 5 dead and over 200 injured. Ban all the guns you want, you cannot stop determined whackos from killing innocent people. Until the day comes when we have universal peace and rainbows everywhere with unicorns and mermaids, and it only rains at night.

They don’t teach history in schools. Liberals have to learn history on a very personal level.
