The Net-State Flexes Its Muscles

Thousands of high school students and their supporters rallied Wednesday at the Florida state capitol in Tallahassee, demanding legislative action to prevent further school shootings like the February 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

There were sympathy demonstrations and school walkouts across the country, involving many thousands of high school students in at least a dozen states, including Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Montana and Washington state.

Some are claiming that George Soros is behind the "gun control" aspect of these demonstrations:

That may be, but it's extremely unlikely a "special prosecutor" will be appointed to investigate his alleged interference in our so-called democratic process.

Also note well the anti-gun demonstrations are completely ignoring any and all aspects of the US Constitution. This does not bode well for the outcome of any future such exercises of grass-roots political power. Our kids are being driven toward a future in which The Founders' ideas of freedom and legal rights are meaningless.
