I Am For Gun Control
I’m Gen Z (i.e. the generation that’s being killed in school) and I have a couple opinions about gun control/school shootings. I really don’t want to hear anybody tell me that my generation doesn’t know shit because a couple people ate tide pods as a meme. We’re young adults and we are the future.
The whole March For Our Lives movement is kind of pissing me off. Remember when Black Lives Matter did the same thing and got hauled off to jail? It’s ridiculous that people are trying to claim activism when it’s only white people they care about. The only time the media listens is when there is a white translator.
I believe Gun control is needed in ALL forms. Not just for everyday citizens, police officers need it too bc yanno they’re still murdering unarmed black men.
Another thing, I don’t understand why people are acting like school shootings are caused by bullying. If that were true, we would see many more poc shooters, female shooters, lgbt+ shooters. You know, the people actually getting bullied in school. But, we don’t. The majority of mass shooters are straight white men. Of course, there have been some instances where a minority has committed a mass shooting, but it’s less than 10% of the time. It isn’t a matter of bullying, it’s more a matter of the privilege and entitlement white men have. Straight white men are by far the most privileged and entitled group of people. I believe mental illness can play a factor but it is not something to blame mass shootings on.
