Students across the country plan to participate in a walkout protest to show their support for the Second Amendment, working to push back against the narrative that all students are in favor of stricter gun control laws, USA Today reported.
The walkout, “Stand for the Second,” is being organized by New Mexico high school student Will Riley.
“I’m watching the news and I see they’re saying, ‘Well we have to do something about this. We have to enact some sort of gun control legislation because this is what the kids are asking for.’ And I’m thinking, ‘I’m not asking for that,’” Riley told the Carlsbad Current-Argus last month. “I look at my friends and I think ‘They’re not asking for that.’ I wanted to give a voice to all of the people who feel that they’re being misrepresented by the media.”

“I founded this movement of my own volition because I see the imminent threat for my generation’s future posed by the attack on our Second Amendment rights,” Riley wrote on the organization’s website.
