"I've seen these shootings happen my whole life. I've grown up with them. I remember Sandy Hook. I remember every single one," Smith said in a phone interview as she and a friend were on their way to donate blood. "Every time, about a week or more later, I don't see any more trending tweets, I don't see anyone talking about it. It's devastating."
But now — with students' protests and criticism of public officials — "it's almost like the kids are trying to step in for the adults," Smith said. "I don't think children should have to bear that."
Smith is 18 now, and she said her dad is going to take her to register to vote. Her friends are all turning 18 soon, too. "The next chance I get to vote in this state, I'm definitely going to do that," Smith said. "We're definitely all going to vote."
Here is another attempt to repeal it...we'll see how this goes. Bipartisan sponsorship is a good sign.
@sarahchad_ is one of the kids that is being super vocal. I started following her after I read her tweet. She even took the high road a little later to apologize for her language.
Take a second to let this one sink in...
She will have a vote in November. Very powerful.

Holy smoke.
In the UK the kids are banned from playing conkers.
That is unreal. The bullet proof jacket, not conkers.

She's getting slaughtered on Twitter and trying to backtrack when clearly the world knows what her dumb statement meant.
Well done America, you've mentally scarred more children than British celebs in the 70s
