After the game, he told Breitbart News that he felt that the left had hijacked the student movement into an emotional tirade against guns. “If somebody mentions the word gun control, the way I look is they are deflecting from keeping our schools safe, so it angers me,” he said. “Everyone has the right to march for whatever they want, but it takes away from our objective if you’ve got everybody shouting guns, and the schools are still wide open. You could walk in with a pistol, a rifle, a knife or an ax.” He blames the media for turning every mass shooting into a gun control issue rather than focusing on the simple task of making the schools more secure. “That’s all you hear now … When they start with the gun control, I take it personal, it’s not going to fix the schools,” he said. He chooses not to disparage the kids from Parkland, after they rallied at the March for Our Lives, but admits that he feels that the movement got hijacked. “This whole march was politicized, you know, but they’re kids, so you can’t really blame them, they’re scared, they think they’re doing the right thing,” he said.
It's the same thing with the brother of a girl that was killed there. They wouldn't let him speak at one of their events because he didn't want to turn it into some anti-gun tirade.
