Call It How You See It!

In blogger "Are you My Government" post  “We The PeopleCall B.S.” he detects fear in the words of President Trump when he tweets that "THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL NEVER BE REPEALED". I also agree that our President is scared. I think he is scared on both sides of the spectrum, worried that his statement could possibly be untrue with the up rise of young peoples voices who will undoubtedly vote to repeal the Second Amendment of our constitution. Also scared that if the amendment is not repealed that the only direction our number of mass shooting in the United States is going is up. Either way this falls back on him. The control is already lost what we need is someone with the courage to gain it back and the only way to do so is to change. Change undoubtedly means the loss of high dollar donors, which is a price Trump isn't willing to pay.

When the blogger points out the sub-message of the movement being that the students have a voice and they are learning to use it. I agree and it took something happening in their generational era to spark and interest and motivate action. But if we really think about it this is wear all of our actions begin, usually starting with something happening to us or our families, our friends, our money, our taxes, our jobs. These students experienced tragedy and they are fighting back.


I also agree with the statement "young people have always had a voice but rarely use it." Its not that they don't realize they have a voice it’s that they are waiting to find something to stand up for and I believe they have now found that reason. When Emma Gonzalez makes the comment in her speech about elders looking down on them thinking "That us kids don’t know what we're talking about, that we're too young to understand how the government works, we call BS." This is so powerful and as a young adult I feel that what she is saying is that the government mistakes our silence and ignorance and that’s where they've made their mistake.
