Students ignite gun control debate at Cheney High School<br>
<br>
Dozens of Cheney High School students left their classrooms when the clock struck noon Wednesday and staged an hourlong demonstration in subfreezing temperatures, joining a wave of young people across the country who are demanding tighter restrictions on firearms.<br>
<br>
The walkout could be the first of many similar demonstrations in the Spokane area, as student-activists coordinate on social media in the wake of yet another mass shooting on school grounds.<br>
<br>
Last week?s attack at a high school in Parkland, Florida, which killed 17 people, came five months after a sophomore boy opened fire at Freeman High School, just south of Spokane Valley.<br>
<br>
Kyra Gardner, a 17-year-old junior who plays softball for Cheney High, said too many of her peers are indifferent about gun violence because the school has not been terrorized by a shooting spree.<br>
<br>
?Some students just have the mindset that it doesn?t matter, it?s not us,? Gardner said. ?Even though we?re not part of the statistic, it matters.?<br>
<br>
She organized Wednesday?s walkout with Maura Duffy, a 15-year-old sophomore who?s active in the drama department. They also made flyers and plan to take part in demonstrations on March 14 and April 20 ? the 19th anniversary of the massacre at Columbine High
School.<br>
<br>
?It?s time to break the old system, because parts of it just aren?t working,? Duffy said. ?The most important thing we can do is speak up for ourselves.?<br>
<br>
Sophomore Heavynne White was among those who gave impassioned speeches to her peers at Wednesday?s rally. She said she worries about her younger brother, a sixth-grader she called her ?other half,? and what might happen if his school were attacked.<br>
<br>
?It?s been scaring me to think that he might not come home,? White said.<br>
<br>
Clara Shaw, a senior, also addressed the crowd, but she said guns aren?t the problem.<br>
<br>
?It?s about bullying and social media,? she said. ?It?s about how people are being treated.?<br>
<br>
When classes broke for lunch, some students heckled the crowd with shouts about the Second Amendment, and a few called names.<br>
<br>
Ryan Flick, a senior, stood just inside the front doors of the school, watching the demonstration with several other boys who identified themselves as gun owners.<br>
<br>
?Teachers should have guns,? Flick said. And, ?I think parents should teach their children how to use guns the right way.?<br>
<br>
One boy said gun restrictions are largely fruitless because criminals can obtain guns illegally. Another chimed in, ?Guns don?t kill people. People kill people.?<br>
<br>
Troy Heuett, the school?s principal, stood by during the demonstration to make sure no arguments got out of hand.<br>
<br>
?Students want their voices heard,? he said. ?I think for everyone involved, their main concern is student safety.?<br>
<br>
