I think it's time to really save lives
Take away cell phones from under 21
Also nobody under 21 can drive without adults supervision
This will save children's lives
Ask your legislators to sponsor these
For Child and Public Safety

Yup exception for those in military
That could piss of some on the left

Well we could take it to the extreme.
We need to save lives. So we should kill everyone. If everyone is dead, then no one can die.

Watch heads start exploding there.

The irony in all of this is how "Intolerant" the Left can be.
If you mention that certain sexual acts are at a higher risk, you're a homophobe.
Sorry, that's a fact.
If you mention that people who invade our borders without proper documentation are criminals, you're a racist.
Sorry that's a fact.
If I point out that abortion is not s form of birth control, I'm sexist and have no say in the matter of "Women's Reproductive Health and Rights". Ironically even if that fetus has half my DNA I have no say.
That's a lie and criminal.
But if you want to remove my Second Amendment rights, my Civil Rights to self protection, or question my sanity for being a middle aged white guy who collects and shoots guns, well...
You're a "Progressive."
How did we get here?

It's all quite simple in my opinion. The left and mainstream media have realized, after the last couple years of gun control failing to pass, there's now an easy opportunity for a new angle. Bring up the next voting generation where kids are "cool and fitting in" by being anti-gun. An environment is forming that kids will be shunned if their peers know they or their parents shoot.

Too bad that there's a certain percentage that, like I was, would say "Eat My Flatulent Ass" and double-down in response... "Yup, great weekend, got all but one in the X-ring from the new Ruger! Hey, you oughtta come along next time..."

I agree there will be some that go against the grain, as there always have been. However, the majority of kids today would rather fit in and follow the crowd to obtain more "friends" on social media. Individualism is no longer an accepted or encouraged practice. I fully believe the media is/will succeed in turning the younger generations completely away from guns, and conservative values along with it.

The left is still fighting the present battles, but the end game is manipulating the young. This "protest" proves they hold all the keys to succeed. They control the media, control social media, and influence their peers, which is everything most modern kids hold sacred.

Probably explains the problems I had with Admin back then... "On a good day, the rest of my peers combined MAYBE muster the IQ of one of my crates of geological samples." And that was almost 20 years ago, so...

Ditto Stalin... The totalitarian statist Left always has known to go after the young to mold impressionable minds, whether the call it the Hitlerjugend or the Little Octobrists/Young Pioneers or the Youth of the Lictor... or just "public schools."
