Funny thing about revolutions. When it gets to be popular enought (and it is coming), the populace will get the new newfangled guns. Stealing from the military, part of the military comes over to your side, foreign supplies, etc. And, in this country, it is quite possible the military for the most part would not fire on the rebels in a popular revolution.
This is the revolution that is coming. Students are feed up with these killing and going to become active as our politicians are owned by the NRA and will not.
Students call out politicians, plead for change after Florida rampage
MASS SHOOTING GENERATION
Children now grow up with drills, lockdowns

Mourners gather at a Thursday vigil for victims of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. As funerals for the victims began, more than a dozen U.S. schools shut down after copycat threats.
PARKLAND, Fla. — Delaney Tarr, a high-school senior, cannot remember when she did not know about school shootings.
So when a fire alarm went off inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and teachers began screaming “Code red!” as confused students ran in and out of classrooms, Tarr, 17, knew what to do. Run to the safest place in the classroom — in this case, a closet packed with 19 students and their teacher.
“I’ve been told these protocols for years,” she said. “My sister is in middle school — she’s 12 — and in elementary school, she had to do code-red drills.”
This is life for the children of the Mass Shooting Generation. They were born into a world reshaped by the 1999 attack at Columbine High School in Colorado, and grew up practicing activeshooter drills and huddling through lockdowns. They talked about threats and safety steps with their parents and teachers. With friends, they wondered darkly whether it could happen at their own school, and who might do it.
Now this generation is almost grown up. And when a gunman killed 17 students this week at Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida, the first response of many of their classmates was not to grieve in silence, but to speak out. Their voices — in television interviews, on social media, even from inside a locked school office as they hid from the gunman — are rising in the national debate over gun violence in the aftermath of yet another school shooting.
While many politicians after the shooting were focused on mental health and safety, some vocal students at Stoneman Douglas High showed no reluctance in drawing attention to gun control.
They called out politicians over Twitter, with one student telling Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., “YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND.” Shortly after the shooting, Cameron Kasky, a junior at the school, and a few friends started a “Never Again” campaign on Facebook that shared stories and perspectives from other students who survived the rampage.
On a day the funerals of the shooting victims began, more than a dozen schools from Massachusetts to Iowa to Michigan were shut down in response to copycat threats.
At other high schools across the country, students rallied in solidarity with Stoneman Douglas High and staged walkouts to protest what they called Washington, D.C.’s inaction in protecting students and teachers. A gun-control advocacy group, Moms Demand Action, said it had been so overwhelmed with requests from students that it was setting up a parallel, student-focused advocacy group.
“People say it’s too early to talk about it,” Kasky said. “If you ask me, it’s way too late.”
His argument reflects the words of other students who want action: The issue is not an abstraction to them. These are their murdered friends, their bloodstained schools, their upended lives.
Students said they did not want to cede the discussion over their lives to politicians and adult activists. “We need to take it into our hands,” Kasky said.
David Hogg, 17, a student journalist who interviewed his classmates during the rampage in Parkland, said he had thought about the possibility of a school shooting long before shots from an AR-15 started blasting in the hallways. As he huddled with fellow students, he stayed calm and decided to try to create a record of their thoughts and views that would live on, even if the worst happened to them.
“I recorded those videos because I didn’t know if I was going to survive,” he said in an interview. “But I knew that if those videos survived, they would echo on and tell the story. And that story would be one that would change things, I hoped. And that would be my legacy.”
Soon after Amy Campbell-Oates, 16, heard about the Parkland shooting, she knew she wanted to try, in some small way, to influence the national discussion on gun violence. She and two friends organized a protest, made posters, and Friday they rallied with dozens of fellow students from South Broward High School.
They carried signs that read “It Could’ve Been Us,” and “Your Silence is Killing Us,” and “We Stand with Stoneman Douglas.” They chanted, their collective voices rising as cars honked in support.
“We agreed that our politicians have to do more than say thoughts and prayers,” Campbell-Oates said. “We want voters to know that midterms are coming up. Some of us can’t vote yet, but we want to get to the people that can to vote in commonsense laws, ban assault rifles and require mental-health checks before gun purchases.”
Tyra Hemans, a senior at Stoneman Douglas High, made a poster, too, emblazoned with the word “ENOUGH.” On Friday, Hemans attended the funeral for Meadow Pollack, one of the 17 students killed, and then she spoke about her desire to see President Donald Trump.
“I want our politicians to stop thinking about money and start thinking about all these lives we have lost,” she said. “I want to talk with him about changing these laws. Seventeen people are dead, killed in minutes.”
“We agreed that our politicians have to do more than say thoughts and prayers. We want voters to know that midterms are coming up.”
