[thanks for the props for the MIA it is my only real political activity of late that has real meaning and consequence for me]. So...I think you are mixing metaphors. If only the movement of the students in parkland would *focus* on BLM and police violence. While they (BLM activists) are certainly welcomed and had a few speakers, the issue for the gun control movement has zero...zero to do with cop violence. If you would respond to what I actually wrote, that would be swell. Gun control, as we know it, unfortunately, won't effect the cops anymore than it will "white men". The movement to restrict gun ownership is and will rapidly turn into a movement to, as Emma Gonzalez noted, to "punish politicians who receive money from the NRA". She's honest in her approach, but it leads to the Democrats being the party of gun control (and in support of the cops, I might add) and no doubt the movement will continue it's course into the party of Imperialism and global violence.
