52 Brutally Honest Reactions To The Gun Situation In America That Will Make You Think

Brilliant

HOLY COW, I MISS THIS MAN!!

A kid should never have to worry about such a thing. Yet still, this is really happening. Heart-breaking. I think if I had a child and was in this situation, I couldn't hold up my brave parent face and would have broken down crying, that my baby is thinking about things like this. It even hurts me that a child I do not even know, is thinking about things like this.

That should pretty much cover everything, don't you think? 00-OMG-5a9...e90153.gif

my f*****g goat have better suggestion than that

Yep, but they are mature enough to join the Army.

Lumping all republicans into one stance on this issue is naive, counterproductive and divisive. Find common ground and build instead of deconstruct people!

America has 4.4 percent of the world’s population, but almost half of the civilian-owned guns around the world.

EXACTLY

Exactly puritan American. Kill each other but god forbid you have consensual pleasure

That's pretty much it

Nailed it!!

I'm just glad this upcoming generation is making such a powerful show of getting involved when they have repeatedly been accused of being lazy and disengaged

by the way. why the hell are kinder eggs banned over there? im from australia

Australians don't know whether to laugh or cry. We are horrified by what we are hearing. Since gun control was enacted back in the 1990s we have NOT HAD ONE MASS SHOOTING! Domestic shootings have crashed and now, pretty much the only people with illegal guns are the criminals who will get them no matter what we do. Only Australians legally allowed guns are defence force personnel (and not in public) police (in public) farmers (only on their farm) security guards (only on the armoured vehicle) commercial shooters (only in their trucks) sporting shooters (only at the gun club/rifle range). Police here check their gun owners in their own districts every two years and every single licensed gun has to be accounted for and the storage comply with regulations - gun and ammo separately kept.

Here is why: The US is the world’s top exporter of arms and assumed a market share of 33% between 2011 and 2015. With factors such as size and capabilities to its advantage, the US is home to some of the top arms manufacturing companies. The top two defense contractors in the US are ranked top in the world. They are Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Company. The sales generated from the exportation of arms from the US were $36.2 billion. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/world-s-largest-exporters-of-arms.html

If no sticks had ever been available for kids you would not need to be wondering about either a, b or c!!!!

Actually the answer is D) Ban the classmate. The stick did nothing wrong. If he didn't have the stick, he would just use the rock.

Here is an unpopular opinion: A) your child will still try to hit people with it. B) your child would think trice to start bashing people as everyone have a stick now. C) your child will STILL bash people, not with a stick, perhaps a stone. You will get free from mass shooting, but then if the real problem that causes a kid to have emotional breakdown until he shot people is not face and solved, it will just happen again, with knife. I still don't understand why are you all not dealing with reducing the stress level or give them a better mental consultation but kept on blaming on the tools.

D. give all teachers sticks.

Arm the teach with a stick.

D) find out why the child is acting out and offer more education and counseling for other children who show similar tendencies before someone get's their eye poked out by said stick. Because it's not fair to take away all sticks when sticks are a right of all Americans. If you don't like the stick freedom, move to another country.

Give the strongest kids a stick and tell them to protect the others?

I hated 'liking' this but it's an excellent point.

This need to be higher on the list. TRUTH.

Every adult in the USA who does not support these child survivors should be ashamed.

Teachers don't want to handle guns. They're there to educate, not kill.

May clearly be the case if teachers can carry a gun. Can you imagine, the teacher with a gun lurking around the corner with gun drawn and a cop around another corner lurking with their gun drawn and they both jump out. You can imagine what will happen next.

World- NO!!! (-muttering-)Dumbass...

Doctor Seuss book in the makings.

Reminds me of Ghost from MW2

You are more than kids. You are people with rights. And if you have the right not to be killed, then the current gun laws in America are legal crime.

A teacher in Utah shot herself in the bathroom by accident in 2014. You can watch Youtube videos of enraged teachers smashing instruments or throwing things at students. I don't trust anybody with a gun in such a tense situation -- even a teacher.

I can't believe the people at the NRA had the guts to do this...they want to show that celebrities are on their side? really?

Bill O'Reilly is a pig. He's discounting the reactions of children who've been shot at or had friends die, and given more credence to the adults who watch this happen and refuse to protect them. He must be in the pocket of the NRA

I wonder if he would've continued to stand up for the NRA had the shooter walked into his children's school and shot them dead.

"The teacher's galactic republic"! where can we sign up as a teacher's Jedi school?

SKISSORS

had a teacher toss a chalk board eraser at our heads once because we were talking in class and he wanted us to shut up. yeah. Lets get that guy a gun.

teens owning elected officials so hard that they cry tuesdays, perhaps?

Of course he would never say 'give' teachers guns in the litteral sense. He was probably meaning ' we must let teachers BUY guns'

Not to mention, most of the school shooters commit suicide or are pushing for suicide by cop anyway, so ANYONE having a gun at the school wouldn't help.

I know it can be unpopular. I’m from Brazil, where guns aren’t easily purchased as in USA. I’m against such an easy way to get your hands on powerful guns, but the problem is more deep rooted. The true problem is not the guns. The true problem is that a person have a killing will in his heart. Are we ignoring the fact that someone -wanted- to kill a lot of teenagers? Why? There is more than just guns wrong in United States. There is killings with knives and rocks too. We need to work on creating children that don’t want to kill others. A society that doesn’t let violence grow. Armed or not.

OMG..This should be funny... but it is

of course, and that teacher will have to live with that for the rest of her or his life. Teachers teach students about life; they should never be expected to take a life.

the statistics explain themselves. Ban guns!

I wonder how he'd feel if someone walked into his grand kids schools and shot them. But its sad to even think that the death of his own child might change his heart while the death of 200 other children have had no effect. Its sad....

They shouldn't have to, but what if they do if times get dark? :( This kind of makes me think of having teachers as police or pomice as teachers...almost military...

They shoot everybody

Did you know, that practically ALL young people with voting rights in the UK voted against Brexit? It, in the end is their world WE are in control of. Why can't we just give them a bigger focus.

It is never a good idea to bring a handgun to an AR-15 fight.

18 school shootings since the beginning of the year! Its only FEBRUARY 23rd! exclusing holidays and weekends, thats almost 1 school shooting a day not to mention how have occured since I started this post! but hey, in total thats still less than 500 children right? Its just a few! a few?? Any number higher than 0 is too many!

Schooled by the teenagers who are smarter and mored eloquent and more emotionally balanced that this moron.

This seems over dramatic, but innocent people are being shot by cops who have far more training.

Teens. You don't know the amount of havoc the power of angry, well-spoken teenagers can create. These kids are the future of America.

I agree and share the same brain.... call me insane , I will not kill a single soul unless they ban gun-control , here in Holland where I live I survived every school easily because no-one was pointing a gun at me but no matter how high you go up there , there's never a curved horizon to see I swear....

If Trump see this, he will retweet it to further his agenda. He's just that clueless.
