Ms. Gonzalez has progressed from perseverating on her fifteen school mates and two teachers who were slain by troubled expelled former student during her emotional "Six Minute and Twenty Second" speech at the March for Our Lives in Washington DC.
Responding to instances of gun violence, Gonzalez shot her mouth off opining that it was cheaper just to have a gun grab. What was more memorable than the pat answer to take away AR-15s was her profane exhortation that people who wanted to shoot such firearms should join the Army and defend their fucking country (sic).

Aside from the crudity of the comment, it is ironic that Gonzalez urges gun enthusiasts to defend America. Gonzalez chose to attire herself at the big gun march in military gear wearing a Cuban flag patch. Hmm. Now she is advocating gun grabs by the government. Wonder where else this has happened? How about: Nazi Germany; Cuba; Venezuela
It is sad to see how the left continues to exploit Parkland High student activists like David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez to push for Gun Control. These traumatized teens certainly had compelling stories when they could relate the travesty in which they had to endure. But now that they opine on the political stage and advocate for broad public policy, it is no longer out of the mouths of babes and they are not bullet proof from criticism or skeptically challenging their suggestions.
Since the election of President Donald Trump, much of the radicalized Left in the Democrat party has sought to enflame their electorate through identity politics and mass movements. The Women Who Hate Trump March the day after the 45th President's inauguration and the March for Our Lives in March 2018 were supposed to bring down the ramparts and inspire the masses to bring down this Presidency and his presumably backwards policies. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL 23rd) recently highlighted her alignment with the gun grabbing movement as an obvious wedge issue pitch for the 2018 Midterm Elections
Alas, both the Womens' March and the supposed students' March for Our Lives have not inspired sustained fulmination. If one looks to polling, the Blue Wave seems dubious and Trump Presidential approval ratings are increasing, despite a barrage of negative press from the mainstream media.
Using these students as tools to push for political change may well backfire. David Hogg's profane pontifications to hurt those associated with gun rights (particularly the NRA) has unwittingly spurred a multitude of new NRA memberships. Emma Gonzalez's obscene observations about the AR-15 and seeming disparagement of serving one's country will reverberate in the minds of many newfound Great Revolt Trump voters as did Senator John Kerry's (D-MA) 2004 "Get good grades or get stuck in Iraq" flak
