There are kids at my kids' high school planning a walk out on May 2nd in support of the 2nd Amendmen

Not sure if this is something being planned nationwide or if it's just my conservative county schools.

I wonder how Fox News will react to this walkout. They shit their pants in disgust over the Parkland organized walkouts. Something tells me they will be just busting with patriotic pride for these courageous students

What is their actual complaint, or can they even explain the problem that they believe denies them 2nd Amendment right?

The truth shall set them free, but that requires an ability to learn.

I assume the school administration will treat them the same as they did/do for any student walkout.

The status quo? I’ve never heard of a “keep everything the same” protest lol

My kids have no intention of participating so don't really know. Just a few of the kids they follow on instagram were encouraging others to join but nothing more than that.

But I have no idea why they are walking out. Usually that's a protest action. Protesting "talk" of banning AR15s?
