What is he going to learn from all of this? What do I tell him when he asks why he's so bad because of the body he was born into,

We are all “The Gifted”
The interesting thing that I see about this argument is how no one can be bothered to talk to one another. In real life we have certain groups against illegals or Muslims because they have heard that some have hurt innocent people.. They feel that anyone that even looks like they could fit in these categories should be punished immediately, yet they are the same people who scoff and ridicule at the thought that guns should be outlawed because they are used more often than not to kill and maim innocents everyday.
No one wants to talk.. they just want to win.
I have noticed this is a growing trend. People don't want to talk about facts or come up with a resolution.. they just want to be right. They will flop subjects or sides mid conversation just to save face. They make the most inflammatory comments just to confuse and befuddle their "opponent". No one wants to help, no one wants to resolve.. people only want to win... even if by winning everyone loses.
Who will inherit the Earth?
Adults spend a lot of time arguing about their rights. The right to have giant killing machines, the right to be able to say what they feel, the right to own or have or do... these kids don't care about your rights to things.. these kids care about their right to live. These kids are literally saying enough is enough. It has been almost 20 years since Columbine and nothing of real consequence has been done. There has been no laws passed to keep children safe. It has been over 5 years since Sandy Hook... a mass attack that killed dozens of babies and nothing was done. NOTHING!. How is that possible?
Bulling the victims of school shootings… really? Who’s the adult?
These children have the right to defend themselves. These children have to right to share their experiences. These children have the right to feel safe in their home away from home. In the place where they are supposed to be concentrating on learning so they can become the leaders of tomorrow. They should never feel as though they need to be looking over their shoulders at their classmates in fear of their lives. And shame on you for not understanding that. Shame on you for blaming the victim for just wanting to be safe. For just wanting to live. You don't have to share their opinions, but you do have to respect their lives.
If we can’t take your guns can you at least give us health-care.
People and politicians complain about it not being their problem to take care of others... yet it kind of is. The population at large is definitely the politicians problem. It's their job to keep us alive. It's their job to keep the economy running. Part of keeping us alive, aside from making bigger and bigger guns, is making sure that we have access to doctors and medicine and.. even better.. preventative care. Part of keeping the economy running is making sure that people are healthy enough to work, and not losing their jobs over long term illnesses or injuries or losing their houses to overwhelming dept due to both.
