When you have all these new police officers and resource officers coming into schools, what I'm worried is going to happen is we're going to increase the school-to-prison pipeline, which disproportionately affects students of color and lower social status.

People need to realize that people have died for your vote.

Honestly, it's alright that people are buying more guns. I just care that they are being safe individuals.

When politicians say your voice does not matter because the NRA owns them, we say, 'No more.'

We will change things if people stand up for what they believe in against injustice and death to save themselves and the future of America - and the world.

I think it's important to realize that law enforcement does do a very good job oftentimes of trying to ensure the safety and security of their people. But oftentimes, where they fail is communities of color and in lower socioeconomic status communities where they discriminate against these people.

Don't just vote for people because they have a 'D' or an 'R' next to their name - make them have an 'A' next to their name for 'American.'

The youth don't vote lawmakers into office, and as a result, they don't work for them.

I'm easy to pick on because I'm a string bean.

Don't be part of the spectacle; be truthful about what you care about and speak from the heart.

I don't think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they're responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy.

It's the individual effort of everybody working together towards a collective goal that causes real, effective change in America and in the world.

When politicians send their thoughts and prayers with no action, we say, 'No more.'

Pretentiousness was probably my substitute for actual confidence.

It's a midterm year, and it's time to take action. I don't care if you're a Democrat. I don't care if you're a Republican. Stand up for what you believe in.

We have to get morally just leaders elected.

I support the Second Amendment. But for God's sake - how can we knowingly pass bills and laws that are in direct opposition to saving kids' lives?

If you look at what these politicians do when they speak, most of the time they are trying to convey a tone... if I make all these points and move my hands this way, I can get re-elected. When in reality, they aren't saying anything.

We are millennials, and we love complaining more than any other generation.

I get to a certain point where I just get so tired that I keep going. It creates a positive feedback loop in some ways - the more stress and work I put on me, the more stress and work I can deal with.

We simply want gun legislation in this country that allows law-abiding citizens to still own guns or prevents people with a history of mental illness or a history of a criminal background from owning a firearm.

My father is a retired FBI agent. I have guns in my house. I'm not against the Second Amendment.

Research who your politicians are, even; know what they do, know who they're supported by legislatively, and know who is supporting them financially for their campaigns. Because ever since Citizens United, we've seen a massive growth in the amount of campaign contributions and corruption in politics as a result, and that has to change.

What we need to create is the NRA - except for the opposite issues.

I'm trying to push for common-sense gun reform and mental illness reform so we can make sure that these individuals that have a criminal background that are mentally unstable and have a history of domestic violence are no longer able to get a gun.
