"Using Children To Pass Gun Laws Is Grotesque And Childish"
What is unfortunate is that so many of us are still susceptible to the outrageous antics of using children as a prop for whatever agenda they are pushing at the time...
Carrie Lukas shares this thought and more at Forbes.com:
"Using children’s pleas to end violence is about the most grotesque rhetorical tool available to politicians. Our natural instincts are to want to shield children from life’s pain. Yet fixating on our desperate desire to protect children from harm distracts from the truly important, adult business of assessing what solutions are actually available. So it is with the gun debate."
