The snarky tweets and platitudes only go so far.

Just demanding that 'Someone do something' is vague, childish, and bordering on petulant.

Come up with a solution that garners wise-spread support and the Reps and Senators will fall in line.

Remember Trump took 30 states, 60 Senators, ... it's safe to assume that the residents of those states are pretty keen on the 2nd Amendment.

Hogg et all should be commended by the space they've carved out in the public sphere for talk on reasonable gun laws by tweeting.

add that the NRA apologists and Second Amendment absolutists are the ones keeping those Senators in office. The gun strokers just have to have their lethal precious toys.
