    Gun manufacturers (and their stakeholders) seeing education rates plummeting and kids refusing to go to school because of gun violence: “Well this is just great business!”

    Anyone noticing we’ll be begging for violent authoritarian cops to patrol the streets if we end up with a bunch of uneducated young folks with zero opportunities? We’ll be begging to be accepted into a gated community

    Idk, that’s my personal fear, I guess. Someone please tell me I’ve missed something

    Edit: I’ll add, go kids! We can’t just accept it either
