Michigan Students March Wednesday - This Time For Guns
Hundreds more students will be staging walkouts all across the country to take a stand for their Second Amendment rights.

MICHIGAN — Students today are again marching across Michigan and the rest of the country -- but this time, for guns. Will Riley, a high school senior from Carlsbad, New Mexico, is calling on students across the country to stage walkouts at their schools for 16 minutes Wednesday in support of gun rights and the Second Amendment.
Hundreds of schools across the country, including at least 11 in Michigan, are participating in the "Stand for the Second" demonstration:
- Roosevelt High School, Wyandotte
- Saint Mary Catholic Central, Monroe
- Ann Arbor Pioneer High School, Ann Arbor
- Grand blanc High School, Grand Blanc
- Coldwater High School, Coldwater
- Haslett High School, East Lansing
- Grand Ledge High School, Grand Ledge
- Northview High School, Grand Rapids
- City High Middle School, Grand Rapids
- East Kentwood High School, Grand Rapids
- Unity Christian High School, Hudsonville
"There is a lot of talk recently about the need to create new laws that would restrict access to firearms in order to make our schools safer," reads the event's website. "But not a lot of attention has been given to those of us who want to protect our natural rights that are enshrined in the constitution. That's what Stand for the Second is all about."

Several of the walk outs are planned for outside of school hours or on nearby property, like with Saint Mary Catholic Central High School, where students will organize today at a small park across the street, a school official said Wednesday.
