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.

If teens really want change it must come from within. Change their own culture and leave ours alone.

And NEVER FORGET that in 2005 the SCOTUS has ALREADY RULED in Castle Rock v Gonzalez that the POLICE have NO LEGAL OBLIGATION to PROTECT PRIVATE CITIZENS! Even when notified! (Even after they disarm us!)

Dear Teens, As a teen, shut up and learn!! We don’t need to tell Americans what to do. You need to use your brains, so you can think for yourself, instead of being brainwashed by your local indoctrination center!!

A lot of similarities to the so called Children’s Crusade in 1212. A couple of kids had a vision for a children’s crusade to the Holy Land where they would peacefully convert the Muslims to Christianity. The adult organizers of the crusade then sold these children into slavery.

Yep, human shields.

I propose the liberals lead the way and get rid of their guns. This includes people protected by armed security (politicians, celebrities). Then, each liberal must put up a large “This house is a gun free zone” up in front of their house.

No, the juveniles are being used by anti-gun adults. Ask 18+ year old adults, especially those 18, 19, and 20, and especially those in the military, what they think about the call for infringing upon the 2nd amendment?

The Yippies weren’t juveniles.

They were adults.

It was founded by Paul Krassner who’d been publishing the Realist for years and was friends with Abbie Hoffman and other Left wing Commie radicals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_International_Party

Jerry Rubin was 29 at the time (don’t trust anyone over 30, man!)

Abbie Hoffman was 33.
Anita Hoffman was 25.
Nancy Kurshan was 23.
Paul Krassner was 27.

Question authority, especially question the authority of those urging revolution and overthrow of the Constitution.

Good catch. I always thought they were college age (18-23).

I’ve read books by Krassner, Rubin, and Leary.

Didn’t agree with them. And it was easy to find holes in their arguments and hypocrisy.

Also Leary mentioned that in his pre-LSD days there were Communist infiltrators (and government agents) within the lib organizations he belonged to. He tried to spot the outside forces from both sides of the spectrum, but he was aware that yes Communists were in these groups (and sometimes even directing them).
