I'm Finished...

I'm finished trying to have reasonable discussions with people who think high school students are too stupid or immature to know what needs to happen so they can live their lives WITHOUT FEAR of being gunned down.

I'm finished trying to have reasonable discussions with people who think adding more guns makes society safer or more civilized.

I'm finished trying to have reasonable discussions with people who think they need an AR-15 or some such weapon to protect themselves from a "tyrannical government."

I'm finished trying to explain to people that no one is trying to ban all guns. Anyone who doesn't get this is not sane or intelligent enough to own a gun. Your irrational fears are not my problem, and civilized society will no longer put up with it.

I'm finished trying to explain to people that the only "fake media" is Fox "News", Breitbart, and their ilk.

The youth of America are making their voices heard. My children, their friends and contemporaries refuse to live their lives in fear.
