Glad you and I agree that the idiot's original point was quite stupid.

Still nothing from those who claim to care about kids. Imagine if this action was approved under a republican?

Yeah no, the problem is we give poor kids all kinds of economic incentive to sell drugs instead of hamburgers. End the war on drugs and violence drops on half over 20 years. Everything else is just empty rhetoric that gets is nowhere.

I read Shapiro's response to mean that the access to guns wasn't the problem, since access is clearly more easily available to the people in Indiana, and that we should be looking at other factors to explain the higher gun violence rate in Chicago.

That's right.
The idiot who tweeted saying Chicago's violent crime is due to Indiana gun laws, doesn't jive with Indiana having lower crime rate than Chicago.
I thought that was simple.
But I'm glad julio found an issue with that and needed to make several posts about, but was silent on Google being sued for not allowing white males to be hired

I will pour one out for all of my well-educated white male homies who are being oppressed.

So the qualified white male who isn't considered for the job bc of his skin and gender isn't being oppressed?
Or, it's just ok to do it?
Curious where you stand here

Democratic National Committee spokesperson Michael Tyler announced Thursday that all candidates who run in the 2020 presidential election as Democrats will completely forego armed security for the entirety of their campaigns, in a clear and bold stance against gun violence in America.
“We’ve talked to all possible candidates and everyone has agreed. Gun violence is a huge issue in our country, and guns are the problem. So whoever runs for president as a Democrat in 2020—be it Bernie, Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Jerry Brown, and/or whoever else throws their hat in the ring—they will steadfastly refuse to employ security teams who carry scary firearms.”
Tyler further confirmed that if a Democrat wins the White House in 2020, their first order of business will be to disarm the Secret Service. Asked how the president would then be kept safe, Tyler revealed that they plan on introducing a gun-free zone encompassing a 500-yard radius around the president at all times.
“Problem solved,” he said.

And then there's this, which you haven't exactly raced to comment on.

Both school districts citing policy. So we need to make up our mind here. I support the students in both cases.

It's not really protesting unless there is disruption and some consequences. If the school sanctions it then it's not a protest. That's how you separate the true believers from the ones who feel socially obligated to participate. Getting disciplined for disagreeing with authority and being punished for it will be the best education they can get to prepare them for the future.

“As students, we do not understand why some counties have fully supported this act of civil disobedience, while others have tried to silence us,” said Natalie Carlomagno, a sophomore at Walton High School.
The Cobb County School District did not endorse the 17-minute demonstrations that took place nationwide Wednesday. It had issued a statement saying participants may be subject to consequences.
Again, it really isn't civil disobedience if the school district is supporting it. If they just wanted to spend 17 minutes in solidarity without consequences then they could have started 17 minutes before or after school.

My favorite passage from the linked WABE article:
A single speaker, Pamela Reardon, a resident and parent of a former Cobb County student, offered support for the district’s policy.
“I think the students are being used by certain factions in our society about these protests. And I want to commend Cobb County for saying they shouldn’t walk out because we as taxpayers are paying for their education,” Reardon said.
She says students should protest after school.
Followed by validation of her theory...
Several student speakers noted they do plan to march against mass shooting violence in another national action planned for next weekend.
Walton High School freshman Divya Virmani bristled at being told by school administrators how and when to protest.
“This whole movement is student-led. And the whole reason why we want to do it for 17 minutes on March 14 is because a bunch of students at their own schools all across the nation were doing it,” Virmani said.
Ah yes, wonderful iteration of one's reasoning there.
