21,000 Students to Take Pledge Against Gun Violence

I once took an abstinence pledge
Do they even say the Pledge of Allegiance in high school any more?
quote:
U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite announced that on Wednesday, November 4, 2015, over 21,000 students in over 64 schools across Southeast Louisiana will participate in his Office’s second district-wide Student Pledge Against Gun Violence Day.
Middle and high school students will sign a voluntary pledge promising that they will never take a gun to school, will never resolve a dispute with a gun, and will use their influence to prevent friends from using guns to resolve disputes. Elementary school children will make a simpler commitment, pledging that if they see a gun they will not touch it, they will assume that any gun they see might be loaded, and they will tell a teacher or a trusted adult.
In coordination with the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Neighborhoods program, the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence is a national program that recognizes the role that young people, through their own decisions, can play in reducing gun violence. This campaign against youth gun violence culminates each October in a Day of National Concern about Young People and Gun Violence. Students from around the country will join together in pledging to do their part to end gun violence. Over 10 million students nationwide have signed the pledge since its inception in 1996.

Sounds like a good message.

So what happens if someone with a gun breaks into their house and tries to kill them, do they just try to talk it out?

That pledge is going to be broken before the ghetto chillens are 16.

If you don't like guns,
Don't buy one.
Don't buy one.

I thought teachers didn't have time to teach our children basic English and arithmetic as a result of all of the testing. Where does this fit into the schedule?

it's a nice gesture but, shouldn't they already know that it's wrong and they shouldn't do it?

I signed a pledge in DARE class to not do drugs. Unfortunately, my promises to a school cop in 8th grade slipped my mind that one time when I was 23 and smoked a reefer

Sounds like this pledge will be as meaningful as farting into a hurricane.

Ridiculous. If anything, schools should be teaching kids how to safely and responsibly use guns with the hope they will eventually safely and responsibly carry in class and prevent future school shootings.

What about a pledge against violence? The gun is only a tool. So are those that try to blame guns for violent tendencies.

This is blatantly anti military. Obama's US attorney going around making kids swear never to fight for their country. WOLVERINE!!!
