False. The next generation of politicians about to start their careers in the next couple elections all grew up in this era of increased school shootings. Each election cycle there is an increase in the number of first time voters who have been in a school during an active shooter event. The more these school shootings happen, the more adults there will be who have first or secondhand exposure to the terrors and traumas of shooting shootings. Majority of the new voters will vote democrat, all while more elderly republicans will pass away. Things are going to change over the next couple elections.

Racist or not, it's a fact. White people in Europe don't want guns, not do most white people in cities. It's these rednecks who are slowing down any meaning legislation. And use stupid logic like well the bad guys will find guns or guns don't pull the trigger people do. Or it's actually really hard to get a gun.

I could go down the street RN and have a gun by the end of the week. I could probably find a subreddit and have a fun by tomorrow tbh.

Saying it's hard to get a gun in America is quite silly and such responses can only be met with "you are a redneck." Because only a red neck would say such non sense.

That's kinda racist, ngl. Anyways... It also looked like most of the gun related deaths in the US were suicides, with mass shootings being a very small (but highly publicized) category.

We both agree that school shootings are awful. We just have different ideas on how they can be solved. Banning guns is just a bandaid.
