GUN CONTROL GIRLIES

We are all aware of the treacherous school shootings that regularly happen in America, more recently the one that occurred at a high school in Florida, more specifically by NiKolAs CrUz. (a piece of actual shit)

To start off, let me say this. Because we live in "the great" America, people get overly offended when you threaten to take away their guns because of their second amendment right. I just want to reeducate any readers, the second amendment was written in in the VERY late 1700s, not to be obvious or anything guys but that was more than 200 YEARS AGO. Tell me why that should be relevant now, times have changed, and following wars have taught us that we no longer fucking use muskets, in the NOW 21st century we have automatic weapons at our literal disposal. ANYONE can purchase an AR-15 much like Nikolas Cruz, and easily shoot up a school. All because some hillbillies don't want to sacrifice their yeehaw, shooting deer in their free time, guns for the sake of children. Stricter gun control DOES NOT even necessarily mean that guns will just be taken away, it will just be harder to get them into your hands. Most likely you can keep your hands gun, and realistically what more do you need. Literally who are you fighting, when are you even going to use an automatic weapon for a good thing????

Second point: you may even say people kill people, not guns. So really what your saying is that Nikolas Cruz, a below average 19 year old, could have went into that school with no weapons and killed 17 people within the span of one class period. OR if Cruz entered the school with a different weapon like a knife, could he have as easily done the same damage, would 17 people still be dead? Also, someone might say "well what about cops", and I could respond with: cops go through special training in order to ensure that reckless/illegal behavior does not occur. But OBVIOUSLY cops are still major fuck ups, can easily suffer from mental illness, and at the end of the day are just regular people with a badge. So hear me out, its crazy, you'll never believe this. YOU ARE RIGHT, people do kill people but the thing is that guns enable them to commit mass murder within no time. SO you could see why so many people are infuriated with the dumbasses who use that as their argument. Lastly, this is also wild, you'll never believe this. WE CAN'T GET RID OF PEOPLE or even mental illnesses, but WE CAN RESTRICT GUNS. And that's tea. If doing more paperwork, and extra work in order to keep your automatic weapons could potentially save innocent childrens lives, why are you so pressed about it?

It's really crazy. 9/11 happens and immediately airport security increases 100% and now we have people targeting muslims for the crime of terrorists, who are IN FACT terrorists. School shootings regularly happen in America, no restrictions or laws passed (bc republicans), and these white boys are claimed to be innocent child with troubling pasts, but never called terrorists. There are underlying problems withing a problem.

I understand that everyone is entitled to an opinion but if your only argument against gun control is that "people kill people" , then sorry cassandra but your argument is pathetic, and your opinion ultimately insensitive. How shitty of a person do you have to be, to understand that there was a mass murder committed with A GUN, and less than hours later throw up a shitty argument that gun control isn't worth considering. It is not the 1800's, we have a system (shitty or not), and there is no reason to be carrying around AR 15 just because.

With that being said, there are so many ignorant, uneducated, yeehaw ass people who cannot get over their own head. In a Trump America I feel as if things just keep getting worse. Answer me this, your grandma/grandpa, who has no illnesses and is self functioning, runs for president, are you voting for them? 70 year old minds cannot comprehend today's problems, their experiences make them experienced, but they do not guarantee wisdom, trust, or knowledge on what younger generation may go through. I want to be someone who can help get information out, someone who can make a change for my future children, because I truly cannot believe the hatred and ignorance that exists among my own generation. Trump has not even said one thing about gun control, just tweets about blaming the victims. It hurts me to know that this could easily happen to me, to my sister who is going to be a freshman next year, but 30 years from now when things have hopefully changed for the better, people will realize who was really on the right side of history.

Sorry not sorry if this pissed you off, but we have an asshat as our president, and fellow asshats that either support him, or do not support gun control. Gun CONTROL, which quite literally means control of the guns within our nation, therefore there will still be guns, just not so easily accessible to more asshats like school shooters.

Side note: kindness is lacking in everything that I just wrote, but being kind is probably the best way to live life. Kill them with kindness, but also with knowledge. Try your best guys because we are the future, and as of right now it's not looking so great.
