Kris Kobach and Republicans welcomed the NRA to the state house today, in an outdoor rally to show support for the 2nd amendment. Johnson County Young Republicans reported there were nearly 400 there, however, press actually present came up with a count of around 175.
Students across the state, who walked out in memory of the anniversary of the Columbine massacre, also took time to greet the pro-2A folks in the way that only high school students can:
Kobach did have a response: yelling at the young students and telling them to go back to class.

"I have an idea," Kobach told the crowd, singling out the student protesters. "Instead of walking out of class, why don't you stay in class and spend that half hour studying the history of the Second Amendment?"
The teens, who know all too well about school shootings and dead students, didn’t budge.
"For someone to come at kids, who just want to stop other kids from dying, I think that's very childish," David Escobar, a 15-year-old Topeka High student, told a reporter. "For him to make that comment (is) very childish and it just shows who the real kids are here and who the real adults are."
