Parkland alumni don’t want you to use fireworks this 4th of July

March for Our Lives organizer Emma Gonzalez is urging Americans to not buy fireworks for 4th of July, but instead to “Find alternative activities.”

Nor is she the only Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School alumna to speak out against fireworks.

Parkland alum and gun control activist David Hogg also has a previous tweet about fireworks:

This crosses the line.

The 4th of July allows Americans of all religions, races, and creeds to come together and celebrate our nation’s birth. Gonzalez’s statement goes on to say “Allow for a judgment-free zone.” So not only does Gonzalez want Americans to not celebrate 4th of July with traditional American pastimes, but also to create judgment-free safe spaces.

This is a slippery slope that leads to a dark place. When Americans begin disregarding traditional American pastimes, we risk losing connection to our heritage, which made our nation great in the first place.

Every day, the leadership of March for Our Lives (Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg, and Cameron Kasky) inch closer and closer to complete annihilation of not only the Second Amendment, but also the First Amendment. They’re creating over-sensitize people who are offended for the most childish, ridiculous reasons.

Over the past several months, many of the Parkland gun control activists have organized die-ins that disrupt businesses, pressure banks and insurance companies into terminating contracts with small business owners and larger corporations, destroy the careers of political correspondents, and now they want to see an end to fireworks, an American pastime.

At some point, we must ask ourselves, where do we draw the line?
