1984 and school walkouts

[Gotcha68]

Jumping off a tall building or cliff (in the realm of what you call "some other method") gives you little chance to re-think your choice as well. There are other "choices" also.

True but this discussion is about guns.

If they don't "actually want to die", they're not considering suicide. It's called getting attention.

That is true. Often it's an "I'll show you, you will miss me when I'm gone" kind of thing. They just don't realize the finality of it. That they won't be here to see everyone sad about their death.

You are completely and totally wrong.

Yet you can't cite where I'm wrong. Duly noted.

True but this discussion is about guns.

And without guns it still will be the same outcome.

True but this discussion is about guns.

Men prefer to use a gun, women prefer pills, and Japanese children prefer rope.

This "school walkout" is straight out of "1984".

When it's School sanctioned, it isn't actually a walkout. It's actually students conforming to the government authority by speaking a government-approved opinion in a government-approved venue. And that opinion is that they should have their own rights taken away by the government whose opinion they are expressing.

You have students marching with the sanction of the state to demand less freedom from the state... and everyone is pretending that their doing so is somehow brave and rebellious.

Very Orwellian ... very Brown Shirtish.

State bureaucrats gone wild!
