Following the shooting in Parkland, Florida that left 17 people dead, a number of students have made their way into the spotlight by calling for gun control. Their gun control push will reach a fever pitch on March 24th, with their planned event titled “March for Our Lives,” which will take place in Washington, D.C.

In response to this march, pro-gun Parkland survivor Kyle Kashuv is calling for a separate march to take place at the same time. He is proposing it be called the “March for Our Rights,” and has already begun asking celebrities and political figures to attend.

In contrast to the anti-gun march planned on the same day, Kashuv’s march is expected to be pro-Second Amendment. Kashuv has been vocal in his support for the Second Amendment, and in his anger with fellow students. He has also been vocal about his opposition to the way his fellow students are action in response to the shooting, calling out anti-gun student David Hogg directly.

This march is sure to shake things up. Unlike the “March for Our Lives,” which is calling for expanded gun control, the “March for Our Rights” will present actual solutions to the issue of gun violence. As we reported here, gun control is what caused the shooting in Florida, and more gun control will do nothing to prevent future tragedies.
