Just as in other areas, the students are not all calling for banning guns, indeed most are not. It’s just those that the media focuses more on.

A survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., said Tuesday that he and others are not calling for any guns to be banned.
Alfonso Calderon spoke on MSNBC Tuesday evening from Tallahassee, Fla., to address his desire for lawmakers to enact stricter background checks. He said the state legislature’s decision not to take up an assault weapons ban deters him “not at all,” and he said he and his fellow students are not even uniformly calling for bans.
“We’re not for banning any type of gun,” he said. “What we are for is stronger background checks.”
Saying he wished lawmakers had talked to them beforehand, he said “we aren’t even completely for” an assault weapons ban.
