Today is the March For Our Lives. I'm not going, but I did walk the dog this morning. Does that count? It should; it will have about the same effect as the march in DC.
Look, since the Parkland shooting, we have seen the gun control forces go crazy. I don't mean they have gotten excited; I mean they have gone crazy. Here's an example: the face of the Parkland shooting has been David Hogg, at least in much of the media. He has gone from being an angry high school student to becoming a liberal icon. He knows the motivation of every member of the NRA, or at least he claims to know it. He opines at length on the legislation before the Florida legislature (and not just on guns). He moved on to angry profanity-laced rants to the point where he seems on a path to maybe be the next high school shooter. But now comes the funniest part. Parkland High School imposed a new rule on back packs. They have to be transparent so that security can see if a student is carrying a weapon. Hogg should be in Hogg Heaven. He's not, however. He says the rules is a violation of his constitutional rights. Get it? He's fine taking away people's rights under the Second Amendment, but if he has to carry a clear backpack where other things would be visible, it's an outrage.
Last week there was a school shooting in Maryland in which there was a kid who started shooting and who was almost immediately taken out by an armed school security guard. Have you heard much about that? Nope. They won't mention it today in DC either. It doesn't fit the narrative. Armed guards in schools or trained teachers with weapons -- they can't have it. It would be an immediate way to improve school security that wouldn't require any new gun laws. It would be helpful, but it would be a victory over the NRA; it would only save lives.
My suggestion for today: it's better to walk the dog than to march in the DC extravaganza. Just ignore it.
