A Nation of Children Wants a Nation of Gun Control

In the history of protests, there is probably nothing less inspiring than a high-schooler refusing to go to school. It's as if the children threatened not to eat their vegetables; or as if a bad Catholic, upset with the bedrock teachings of the Church, refused to go to Mass. You can refuse any number of things, but you can't refuse in the most fun way possible, and if you refuse your food, the response of your "oppressors" should be then don't eat your food. It's your life, and should you choose to ruin it by getting skinny or playing hookey, I say best of luck to you. If you really want to make an impression, you should douse yourself in gasoline and set yourself on fire. That way, we'll know you really mean it.

I'm not against children, but I am 100% against "think of the children." I like to think of what's best for the grown-ups. Whatever works best for free, honest, informed, self-reliant, and armed adults works best for their dependents, and if children are anything, they are dependent. If they grow up into anything, it is more parents. If you love a child, remember that the purpose of cuteness is to make sure kids turn into adults – who in turn are in charge of making us more children.

Just one of many things in the world that makes the US unique is the 2nd amendment. Actually the whole constitution and BOR. Well, we used to be unique but thanks to the lyin' king and the leftist radical extremist socialist democrats, today's youts have been clubbed into believing there is nothing special about the US. We're not unique and are probably at fault for everything wrong in the world.

DemocRATS, like most terrorist organizations, are willing to hide behind children.

Children “want” a lot of things.

It is the job of adults to instruct them what is best for their wellbeing.

Psst, the Hollywood Com-Left is wearing orange pins to the OscarsTM tonight to virtue signal:

I though orange pins were to mourn the victims of the Tide Pods Challenge.

>>A Nation of Children Wants a Nation of Gun Control

OK. Here’s an idea: you can only have guns in video games that you can have in real life. Let’s see how the Millennials like gun control when they are using single shots and 22s in Call of Duty.

Honestly, that’s how they think. Nothing is more real to them than their electronic devices, apps, and games. Everything else is a mirage to them.

The writing has been on the wall for some time now!
Connect The dots! Read between The Lines!
Same Old Answer!

THEY own the schools! They own the children!
THEY can control and overwhelm all!

Send the snowflakes to Chicago on a field trip to study both gun laws and gun violence.

Some 95% of all the personal woe in the world is self-induced, either from failure to take preventative action, or by willful ignorance and failure to accept personal responsibility afterward.

The Democrats exhibit both of these shortcomings to an astonishing degree.

Restrict these games so that you can only RETURN FIRE.

You must be fired upon to be able to unlock your weapon and fire single shots at the shooter.

Didn’t the defenders of the police in this case say that they were outgunned by this 19 year old and shouldn’t try to shoot at him with a pistol?

Doesn’t that make the case for not being limited to a pistol for your OWN self-defense?

>>It is the job of adults to instruct them what is best for their wellbeing.

It is also the job of the adults to educate the youth on history. Of America, of the world. That this nation IS different than others (and that COMMUNISM is cruel). That liberty must be cherished because it is NOT the normal state of affairs (chaos is normal) and it must be guarded from threats external and internal.

Students must be educated in this because they are the future caretakers of the nation.

We’ve have 80+ years of red diaper doper babies coming of (r)age and distorting the past. When a traitor like William Ayers and a Commie like Howard Zinn are involved in the education of young Americans it is not to preserve the American Way.

Global Communism would’ve filled the void after the defeat of NAZISM/Fascism if not for the West. No time to go wobbly now.

The Soros-funded Left has overplayed their hand and the backlash has begun.

Trump assures gun owners, “Oh ye of little faith!” and DiFi’s giddy grin has faded.

The NRA has half a million new members, AR-15s are flying off the shelves, and the Broward Cowards are fully exposed as the incompetent boobs they really are.

How ‘bout some dessert? Black parents are now warning their offspring not to show attitude to teachers because they may be armed & interested in payback.

Armed? That’s WACIST!!!

Well that’s because pistol bullets are so much slower than rifle bullets. Um, okay then. I guess the perp would simply out run the pistol bullets then?
