Dear right wing gun humping dimwits:

Telling teenagers they're all stupid liberal morons for protesting on behalf of their own safety is possible the single most perfect way to make sure that they never ever vote Republican for their entire lives. You are literally telling an entire generation of voters that they're too dumb to talk about politics right at the very moment they're starting to pay attention to politics. They're going to look at which political movement is telling them "Guns are more important than your life" and they're going to remember that forever. And since you foolishly made guns a part of the culture wars, you'll have pushed them all into the arms of the pro-choice, pro-socialism, pro-equality, pro-feminist, pro-gun control left.
