While the mainstream media tries to paint the picture of the “March for our Lives” gun-control student movement as representative of all young people, more and more kids are starting to speak out.

Kids like Will Riley, who watched his fellow students stage pro-gun-control walkouts around the country and wanted to fight the message that the younger generation is some sort of unified front against the Second Amendment.

“I’m seeing people saying, ‘We need to do something, we’ve got to enact some kind of legislation because this is for the kids.’ Well, I’m also the kids, and I don’t like that,” Riley told the Washington Times. “And there are other people like me. The other kids haven’t spoken yet.”

Riley is a senior at Carlsbad High School in New Mexico. He decided to launch a “Stand for the Second” campaign – a walkout on May 2 – this Wednesday – for the millions of teenagers who support the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

“We’re getting generalized. Our generation’s being defined,” Riley said. “And I think we have an obligation to define ourselves.”

Riley’s efforts to combat the mainstream media narrative consists of staging a 16-minute walkout on Wednesday, with full cooperation of local police and school officials. They also have a Twitter feed with thousands of followers.

So far, there are more than 300 walkouts scheduled around the country in 42 states, according to an online map.

Pretty good – but still far short of the more than 2,000 schools involved in last month’s National School Walkout, which had help from leftist groups like the Women’s March and Indivisible.

“Since students are being so vocal on this issue, I think it’s important that we get our voice out,” said Mr. Riley.

Another reason for the walkout: To see if the public schools provide the same support and accommodations to pro-gun students as did their anti-gun counterparts.

“On the right, they’re saying, ‘Why are you doing a school walkout, because going to interfere with education?’” Riley said.

“What I would say is that the other walkouts got special treatment from their schools, and so I think it’s important to see that we get the same treatment, because otherwise it’s viewpoint discrimination,” he said. “And that’s a big problem and we should draw attention to if that happens.”
