When today's children grow up and ban most guns

The gun nuts will have no one to blame but themselves. They were too greedy and wanted too much. Instead of standing up for a bunch of slain kids they tried to spin the stories and create conspiracy theories. They just kept giving to the NRA even after they held rallies following school shootings. Called anyone from the other side names like a bunch of immature 5th graders.

They showed their true side and lack of common sense. If a person can't show empathy for innocent children then they must be one angry individual. Probably shouldn't own any kind of weapon.

Here are faux news viewers mouthing off about teens from stoneman shooting

1. Gun bans are definitely coming. Only 1/3 of Gen Xers own guns. Only 20% for Millennials.

Gen Z is the generation of kids in schools today and protesting against guns in Florida and elsewhere. The Second Amendment may not survive into the 22nd century, assuming the country and our species do.

3. Plus these shootings aren't going to magically stop

The cats out of the bag. This is how a lot of disturbed young men are going to act out in the future. Every time a shooting happens it just touches more and more lives. Enough people will eventually stand up and say no more. Its just a question of when and to what degree.

I am never sure how much DU understands how entrenched the current condition is.

If these kids succeed, it will happen decades from now. I don't expect to see it; I'm 54.

But it is coming and I think the last 10 years or so will be seen as the beginning of the end

6. I tend to the cynical side as well

My first thought is that many more millions of guns will be mass produced and horded while they try to make it happen.

I'm not saying that all Fox News viewers are assholes, but all assholes watch Fox News.
