School shooting survivor tired of ‘old ass parents’ failing on gun control
2018-03-25
[NYPOST] “When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the fucking phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government. Our parents don’t know how to use a f–king democracy, so we have to.”
As everyone knows, you're born wise, and as you age you get progressively dumber, eventually becoming a parent. Policy-making should be entrusted to the acne and braces set and the older generation should stick to cleaning the rooms of their offspring.

#17  Silentbrick, or better yet, only grant the vote to honorably discharged veterans, like Heinlein suggested.

#16  I have no desire to listen to punk kids who don't even know what type of government we have demanding to be made into slaves. Raises the voting age to 30 for anyone not in the military.

#15  Kids being used by a political party and think they are the leaders. I hope the kid grows up to realize how niave and stupid he was during the great Democrat anti-gun themed voter registration drive of 2018.

#14  Compare Switzerland's gun crime rate to the UK.

Every thing but the cows have a fire arm in Switzerland and they have little violent crime...and not much muslim nonsense. The UK with stringent gun control is a veritable Chicago...and terrorist paradise. Ever tried to buy a fire arm in France?

#13  Try to sell gun control to the blacks. Try to sell that the cops will protect you to the BLM.

#12  The metaphorical war on drugs is a pathetic joke. It's one of a few things that have become moral issues, not personal choice issues.

And, yeah, let's compare drug trafficking to the mob of the Prohibition days...in essence, not much difference, is there?

#5  History repeating? Missing are the uniforms. The Hitler-Jugend (HJ) and Bund deutscher Arbeiterjugend (League of German Worker Youth) were indoctrinated to left's National Socialist's propaganda. Later, another odious group within the HJ appeared, the HJ-Streifendienst (Junior Gestapo). These kids often turned in family members for infractions of law and ideology. The young were used by the regime. The Nazis were big on gun control and gun confiscation for certain groups such as Jewish people and others considered enemies of the state. There have been reports on the internet about the HJ members aiding in gun control/confiscation--whether or not true I don't know--it is conceivable. The NSs were also big on national registration of firearms. Gun Control in NS Germany. And from the History Place. You know, "It's for the children."
