America..why won't you just ban the fucking gun?

I've never in my life seen such a self-absorbed and seriously ill-informed group of youth, and I'm not much older then them.

I'm not following.

[LoathedVermin72]

That's not surprising.

That's not surprising.

Condescension isn't a valid argument. How about you use actual discourse?

[LoathedVermin72]

What's the point?

This is the generation of zero responsibility. I've never in my life seen such a self-absorbed and seriously ill-informed group of youth, and I'm not much older then them.

I'm pretty sure every single generation since the beginning of time has thought this about the generation that came after them.

Ugga: "Kids these days, they would rather harvest crops than go out to fight mammoths. When I was young, you had to work for things. It's shameful."
Guuuurt: "It's the cave paintings."

What's the point?

So instead of listening objectively to a person's opinion, respecting it, and then weighing in with your own respectful opinion, you insult them, and refuse to elaborate on why you disagree? Sounds like everyone on the left.

It's basically "Your mom gay." "No u"

The thing is, I too am considered a millennial. And I'm only about 10 years older. Maybe I misspoke when I said "generation", as I really don't know how else to refer to them. I admire what they are doing even if I don't agree with their focus. I think they are focusing on the wrong kind of prevention.

The smallest holes often sink the biggest ships. With social media, small groups are able to speak the loudest. It blows my mind.

AL.

Who's in the minority on this issue?

[Anders]

Isn’t this mostly fronted by Generation Z kids, the generation after the milennials?

lol, "respectful." I've argued with enough conservatives to know it's pointless 90% of the time. I'm done. They're not going to change their minds. They're just obstacles at this point.

What's the stat, only about 15-20 percent of gun deaths involve shooters with mental issues? Seems like gun control is the logical start to this issue, since you know, they are involved with 100 percent of gun deaths.

Even if you want to approach this as a mental health problem (and we absolutely have a massive mental health problem in the US), the dumbass "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality of Americanism means that's not getting addressed in any serious way any time soon, so in the meantime, we clearly can't handle our access to firearms, so it needs to go.

Yup. Not too mention, the whole wider health care fiasco.

Right. One side of the mouth says this is an issue for doctors to sort out. The other side of the mouth says doctors should choose not to see a patient unless they can pay the bill.
