"Well, I have an idea that might just work. I propose that every high school and junior high school student in the nation goes on strike."

Liked, although factually, there's a slight problem with this plan other than possible harm to a school: will it work?

After Sandy Hook, 9 new Senators were elected to Congress who vowed to block any gun control legislation. After Parkland, 5 new Senators were elected to Congress who vowed to block any constraints on assault rifles - including in Florida, where many such strikes occurred.

In both cases, younger voters still didn't turn up to vote in much greater numbers than before, though most people think that's because of the mid-term effect.
