Why are students in communities with frequent gun violence excluded from discussion?

If people really care about the issue of gun violence, the impact of it, and the issues that surround it, why are the students in the communities where this is an everyday possibility or reality excluded from the debate?

I mean mass shootings are terrible, but they are are a fraction of the broader issue of gun violence, and just crime in general. Luckily for these students from Parkland, they are far less likely for the violence to be a reality ever again. But that extremely rare and extremely unique events don't provide much insight into anything pervasive enough to solve anything.

Yet, there are millions of students where this is not the case, and trauma isn't just surrounding a single event, but potentially many events. And safety isn't just a psychological concern, but a physical one as well. And the fight for that safety can be just as dangerous because of these realities. And because these are common, there probably is the potential to gain insight into things that are pervasive enough to make some sort of positive change.

So for all of this concern about violence and our privilege, it doesn't seem like people want to actually give those who experience the most violence, and therefore really lacking a privilege, much of a voice about these concepts. So if we really want to challenge the worldviews of all sides, most of whom don't have much insight into the actual realities of violence, then why not bring the people on who can provide insight into it?

As Nassim Taleb argues, lets bring in people with some real skin in the game.
