First it was the women now its the children- Look out old white men clinging to fear and hatred. Fear not, your government is not coming to get you or your guns. However American women and children are courageously coming for YOU!

(51,565 posts)don't egg them on. Someone corrected me on DU a few weeks ago when I was going on and on about the facts and the numbers and percentages about guns, owners, gun violence, etc. I wrote "older, American men" and was corrected...it is "older, WHITE, American men" to be even more specific. They have grown up for their entire lives listening and learning that they are special and entitled to do whatever they want and, for a large part, get away with it. You will not change them or undo a lifetime of brainwashing. The attitude will die with them but we do have to prevent those younger white men and boys from the same brainwashing by their subculture in a larger society.
