- The Voices At The March Don’t Represent The National Opinion
Emotions were high as speakers called for change, threatening the politicians who were not representing the people appropriately.
The thing is, the national opinion of guns is not in the liberals’ favor, no matter how many middle-aged women you bring to the streets.
Cameron Kasky, a Parkland student, was one of the speakers to make this mistake, stating:
“Politicians, either represent the people or get out. Stand for us or beware: The voters are coming,” Kasky said. “We must stand beside those we’ve lost and fix the world that betrayed them. … We the people can fix this. For the first time in a long while, I look forward and see hope.”
A higher percentage of Americans are satisfied with the nation’s laws and policies on guns than are dissatisfied, according to the Gallup Polls.
Pew Research Center reported:
“For the first time in more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, there is more support for gun rights than gun control. Currently, 52% say it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns, while 46% say it is more important to control gun ownership.”
The school shootings seemed to have ignited a new found respect for self-protection, and an awareness that leaving your children open to only the bad guys having guns isn’t optimal.
