To see how students across the country really felt about school shootings, we put out an open request for students to send us their thoughts. Here are some of their responses.
Gun violence, particularly school shootings, ranks among the most contentious issues in America. Since the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, mass shootings have again become a staple of the news cycle.
This school shooting is distinguished from previous ones, because students around the nation have rallied to organize for safer schools. Whether that means stricter gun control, metal detectors, regulating ammunition sales, or arming teachers, remains unclear.

For more insights, take a look at the national polling of young Americans on gun control: bit.ly/2G68EHd The polling indicates that while young Americans are divided on gun restriction measures, many are decidedly not fans of the NRA.

[@r.r.n8998]

Vox that study is probably pretty biased tho The type of ppl to watch or follow u are very likely to agree with u It not a good representation of my generation if it’s only liberals that are likely to support gun control that take the survey

[@ar14237]

Vox the real way to help stop school shooting is to address the isue at hand what is causing them to shoot up the school in the first place. In alot of ways I think bullying is the problem. I graduated in 2014 and was Dame near constantly bullyed untill like 8th grade even though we had a zero tolerance policy but no one cared. I'm not saying that this is the only solution but definitely somewhere to start

[@nelsonrios9513]

So your poll proved nothing but that not everyone wants more gun control which can be seen by anyone with eyes but hey not everyone is fans of the NRA. Awesome. Glad we got this vital information.

[@Tenderfoot85]

Vox, Obviously mass shootings are a problem. Whether or not the NRA is complicit in, involved with, or culpable for mass shootings is another issue entirely. None of the shooters have been NRA members? You must know this? That, or I suppose, you guys over at Vox are just (a) woefully naïve, or (b) ideologically possessed with this bizarre demonizing of the NRA. Why is it the NRA is to be despised so vehemently, Vox?

The only people talking about what can realistically be done to stop these shootings are conservatives. Liberals are just using this tragedy to spread their disarmament agenda, nothing more. They use these tragedies to convince you that taking MY guns away would have prevented this, when any amount of rational thought will debunk that idea. There's a laundry list of government failure that allowed Nicolas de Jesus Cruz to carry out his shootings. Conservatives are the ones going through that list and offering fixes that would have actually prevented this shooting. Conservatives are even the ones who just raised the gun buying age to 21. All liberals are doing is chanting "ban rifles" and no law they propose would have prevented this shooting.

every time america has a mass shooting i come back to this video and hurt all over again. i’m absolutely sick over what lack of protection students have

[@laylamad]

Why are people putting their rights to own guns over the lives of their country's children?

[@xTheBOISx]

Owning a gun is a RIGHT. Nobody is putting anything over the lives of children. Why would you phrase it in such a ridiculous way?

[@ml677]

“That sounds like something students call bullshit.” Love it

Proper Title: What Selected American Students That are uneducated on the Matter of Guns whose beliefs also happen to align with our political agenda really think about gun control.

I remember in elementary school there was a new kid from England and we had our first lock down drill and the teacher locked the door and turned off the lights as we all got up from our desk and walked to the corner of the class and he stayed at his desk confused of what was happening, he actually seemed pretty scared as we just played patty cake and talked about what we were gonna do after school like nothing was happening. He came up to me and one of my friends asking what was going on and we just told him “we’re having a lock down sit down” and when he asked why another kid pitched in and said “just in case someone comes with a gun” and we just nodded like nothing was wrong with that sentence, and he just stared at us in shock. This was normal for us ever since preschool we’ve been doing these drills and we basically became numb to why we were having these drills every month since we could remember. And honestly looking back at it it’s scary how normal everything was

I would feel safer with my Principal and my German and Study Hall teachers, all veterans, if they were armed I know 90% of the Student Body in my high school would feel safe. Coming from Montana.

[@carlspackler4447]

I agree, people just want to disarm the good guys, last time I checked criminals don’t follow the laws

[@MisterBuckey]

Darth Killhoon 1st of the Gray Sith the teachers would have training of course so that a teacher doesn't accidentally discharge their weapon. It is a great idea

[@Greg766]

13,000 people die from gun murders per year in America. 1.3 million people die from car accident deaths, 100x more deaths. We should raise the driving age to 21, impose background checks for driving, and only allow slow cars. If you cared about saving lives that’s what you would do.

[@johnblair765]

Gregory Braun. Also since February 14, 2018 approximately 800 people died because of DWI auto accidents...some 6400 people will die by the end of 2018. My daughter was one of those stats in 2004. The students need to be protesting Why didn't the FBI, police, and mental health experts do a better job before February 14, 2018. I bet that many of these teenagers will do some serious drinking on grad night and drive...as a rite of passage. Seems hypocritical to me...especially more people will die.

[@f8f8esufj2a1]

and if a driver hits you, its the cars fault.

[@byronmiller3073]

13000 gun murders is not the correct number that's with suicides and accidents being thrown into the mix which most are suicides

[@OGOD23]

How's that not a fair comparison?

[@xxgreyrosexx4331]

CARS HAVE SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS AND BACKUP CAMERAS. GUNS HAVE NOT NEARLY AS MANY REGULATIONS. PLEASE REALIZE THIS. GUNS WERE MADE TO KILL. CARS WERE MADE TO GET PEOPLE FROM POINT A TO POINT B.

[@kikuichimonji2339]

I'm a student and I don't think that gun control is the answer. If schools with police with guns actually do something thing school shootings won't be an issue.
