3. Don’t listen to teenagers about policy
This one applies to every political issue all the time. Children and teenagers have next to no valuable insight when it comes to public policy. That’s why we don’t let them vote. Sure, there are organizations and youth out there who are interested and passionate about politics, and they can be involved, but they’re not the arbiters of what we should do as a nation. These young people just experienced a horrific and traumatic event, and have probably not yet talked to a professional counselor or therapist. But the mainstream media and politicians use their words to promote political policy. This is bad.
4. Don’t believe Everytown for Gun Safety.
They lie. Proof: Their “18 school shootings in 2018” is more fiction than fact. They are also very, very partisan. For all their “follow the money” attacks on the NRA, they are secretive about their own lobbying ($1.2 million in 2017 to lobbying firms), have a budget of $41 million, massive PR efforts with celebrities like Beyonce Knowles, and the financial backing of billionaire Mike Bloomberg.
