Real in-depth article there, MSgt...
While I ardently disagree with conspiracy theorists such as these, I am understanding why they cling to such silly stories. These kids are being used as pawns to further the full confiscation of firearms. Gun grabbers insist that the AR-15, which they routinely classify as a full automatic weapon with an unlimited amount of CLIPS, is the primary culprit of death in the U.S. However, deaths due to rifles are insignificant to deaths caused by handguns, knives, and fists. So, why are they going after the AR-15 first? I honestly believe it's because they can use the confiscation of rifles as a jumping off point to further confiscate other firearms in the future. If they proposed to take away handguns first, the #1 killer of firearm related incidents, then the public would be vehemently opposed to it. However, if they progressively limit access to certain classes of firearms, then the public will not think it a huge deal when they begin to restrict handgun ownership as well, say, in 20 or 30 years.

SPC David Willis - The distinction is legislatures and executive officers have authority to change and affect law, whereas these children are being used in hopes to change law. The problem I have is that the policy prescriptions these people offer will have no impact on public safety. Appealing to emotion over logic is the wrong way to approach a problem. Just because my mother died of cancer doesn't mean my plea for 50% of government expenditure be used for cancer prevention is correct. You can't make policy based solely on empathy. The highway to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Should we take our nuclear policy prescriptions based on pleas of 7-year-olds who want a future without nuclear arms? Should a 12-year-old immigrant have footing to determine immigration policy? I have sympathy for what these kids went through, but just because they experienced an awful event does not make their solutions or propositions valid.

SSG (Join to see) - No we shouldn't, and if you've read my posts I've made it clear I don't think we should just give them everything they want, that's never been my opinion. I've only said to doubt their sincerity is foolish if you buy into the sincerity of those who are paid for their loyalty.

SPC David Willis - I never questioned their sincerity either. I posited they were being used as pawns. So, we agree in some regard.
