18. Fuck you, gun lovers.

I am sick and tired of gun lovers defending their precious guns when kids can't even go to school anymore without worrying about getting shot.

Too many gun lovers are more concerned with quibbling over semantics and wording, dismissing anybody out of hand who isn't an expert on various types of assault weapons and assault rifles.

I'm tired of hearing people say that getting rid of guns wouldn't solve anything, that there are too many guns, that it's pointless to even do anything now.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
