The latest school shooting where 17 students were murdered in Parkland, Fla., has spurned an outpouring of student activism. This has included a symbolic 17 minute walk out and peaceful demonstrations around the country, seeking to call attention to the issue of gun violence. I have been disappointed to see that this youth activism has been met by so many voices choosing to dismiss their concerns or even question their motivations, rather than simply listening to their message. |

| There are and always will be crazy people. So take the guns away form the crazy's and they'll make bombs. Now I don't know about you, but unless you're hit by the first couple rounds, duck and cover! But with a bomb, it's kiss your rear end good bye. Maybe an arm, leg, brain concussion... Sure, we can try to limit the access to weapons from the nut jobs, but you can't stop it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
