Texas shooting survivor:
Lawmakers must act on guns or lose their jobs

Lawmakers who think they can just offer “thoughts and prayers” and do nothing else after the latest school shooting ought to think again.
And 17-year-old Megan McGuire was quite clear about what their futures hold if they refuse to do so.

“My thought is that if you do not do something, you do not have a prayer of being elected,” she declared.

McGuire is a junior at Santa Fe High School in Texas, where another student killed 10 people in a shooting rampage on May 18. It was the 22nd school shooting thus far this year.

Students like McGuire are fed up with their lives and safety being disregarded by right-wing politicians who are enamored with the NRA.

They know that those lawmakers don’t deserve to hold onto their seats if they put the radical gun group over vulnerable young Americans.
And they know exactly who can and will hold these derelict politicians accountable.
“My generation will see to that,” McGuire warned.

As Parkland survivor Alex Wind said, politicians who help push the NRA’s agenda have “chosen death.” But as for the students: “We choose life!”

And as McGuire and others have made clear, that choice will be made manifest at the ballot box this November.
