Will Roskam meet with Barrington High gun massacre protesters?



Tomorrow may be a watershed day in US history in the campaign to ban machine guns, reducing incidence of mass shootings, some in churches and schools. That's because at 10:00 AM thousands of high school students will walk out of schools nationwide to protest the NRA's stranglehold on Congress. They're walking out to get their congressman off the NRA's payroll, preventing even the flimsiest of sensible gun control, much less elimination of machine guns and rapid fire handguns. 

They're walking out to prevent their school from being the next to experience a massacre at the hands of a disturbed person having little difficulty acquiring a machine gun. They're walking out to remind the adults in Congress, too busy cashing their NRA paychecks, to do their most critical duty: protecting kids from violence. 

After walking out at Barrington High in the Illinois Sixth, students will march to their congressman Peter Roskam's satellite district office to bring their message of change to his front door. Congressman Roskam, who touts his dozens of meetings with constituent groups and individuals in his weekly constituent email, needs to cancel tomorrow's meetings, book an early flight back to the district, and get a lesson on how to be a responsible public official.
