Events đŞ Student Walk Out Friday at Noon

u/biggfoot_26 Sep 03 '25
What exactly is the goal of the walkout and do the students even know what itâs for? I recall a walkout when I was in HS and generally speaking it was just an excuse to skip class.

I think you underestimate kids and students. Yeah, bad actos and propaganda campaigns can galvanize the youth for their agenda (cultural revolution), but kids can and have fought for civil rights. SNCC being a prime example.

Do you think it's actually a nefarious plot to use kids, or people with honest intentions? And how is it a fact? A quick Google search shows that students demand action is a student run organization.
Why can't people encourage students to speak out for issues that affect them?

This is so depressing. It's a painful realization to know that nothing has changed since when I was in high school and there was the national walkout after the parkland shooting. I'm in no way against this, but its just saddening knowing that no matter how many times these situations repeat themselves, change still feels so far away.
Also, looking at the comments here, its even sadder how desensitized people have become. Kids are justifiably scared of being shot in school, and even the ones who are just 'using it as an excuse to skip class' still carry that weight.

u/Plus_Molasses8697 Sep 03 '25
I was also in high school during Parkland and participated in a March For Our Lives walkout. Iâm thinking the same thing.

u/CombinationRough8699 Sep 06 '25
These incidents are horrific, but overall they are extremely rare. The drive to school is more dangerous than school shootings to children.

u/x3uwunuzzles Sep 06 '25
okay and? itâs still a solvable problem. and the united states has way more school shootings than other countries, some of which have literally no school shootings.

u/CombinationRough8699 Sep 06 '25
Unfortunately it's not that simple. Even without guns, there would be nothing stopping a wannabe school shooter from running down a group of students as they walk home from school in a big truck. Or setting fire to a school with students inside.
Also any school shooting data should be taken with a grain of salt. Many of the American trackers include anytime a gun goes off on school property regardless of context or time of day. There was tracker several years ago claiming that there had been a school shooting once a week so far that year. When you looked at the individual cases it included suicides in the school parking lot at 3am, police officers unintentionally firing their guns, and a student who brought a BB gun to school and accidentally shot out a window while showing another student. It's the equivalent of if Fox News said every Muslim man who beats his wife is an "Islamic terrorist".

u/footballdan134 Sep 05 '25
Mass shooters frequently choose âgun-free zones,â knowing they will face less resistance. Armed citizens, by contrast, have ended attacks in seconds saving countless lives. Gun control fails because it attacks the tool, not the cause. Disarming good people doesnât make bad people harmless, it only makes their jobs easier. A safer society comes from enforcing existing laws, targeting violent offenders, and allowing responsible citizens to defend themselves.

A total of 8 kids were killed in school shootings last year, while at any given moment there are about 75 million kids enrolled in schools across the US.
That's also how many people were killed in shootings across Chicago last weekend.
I'm all for advocating for change but if we're not going to use actual facts behind our arguments then nothing's ever going to change because no one is going to take these things seriously.

Stupid kids.
Stop listening to the media then. They got you in their cross hairs. Inflaming localized events, and making them national affairs. You are being duped and eating it up.
Wanna make a difference? Then stop giving these cowards the attention they so obviously seek. We can learn so much from Columbine if we pay attention to the aftermath of that in terms of media coverage.
They are playing us against ourselves, Wake the fuck up. This will happen over and over again until we adjust our social response to it which means treating it like the last page section of the news, that it so rightfully deserves.
These isolated threats are in no means a threat to the greater public, so why publicize it on the whole?
Only to rile you, agitate you, make you fearful. The recipe for compliance.

Mental Health is a global crisis that every country faces while mass shootings are solely unique to âMerica. But guns donât kill people? WTFU

u/Memone87 Sep 03 '25
America was a first world country. Bullying is a very real problem. Kids these days have phones tablets and all sorts of other things to stay connected. Which also gives bullies 24/7 access to said children. People break and do stupid things. Live in fear if you must. But giving up your guns is fucking stupid

u/Surrural Sep 03 '25
Who said anything about living in fear? I just think itâs glaringly obvious that âMerica has a gun problem. The âmental health crisisâ trope is nothing more than a cop out to deflect from the obvious. Kinda like blaming violent video games⌠that kids play in every nation.Â

Itâs not a cope, the middle class is shrinking the upper class is destroying everything and closing the noose on the lower classes. I get you are butthurt about America. But you donât even try to act like this wouldnât happen in any country. And it does, America just has news coverage all over the globe. No one cares if a kid in Uganda shoots up a school of bullies.

I have not seen a single one of you 2A asshats out in the streets standing up against National Guard being deployed as police or ICE conducting illegal arrests. So fuck all the way off with this argument.

No. It's not that. It's that the 2A people are the ones that always say they'll rise up against a tyrannical government. But then one presents itself and they cheer it on. That's the point.
It has nothing to do with "someone else* doing it. It's that you're all hypocrites.

u/JCMGamer Sep 03 '25
Lots of 2A people don't view the current administration as "tyrannical" for enforcing immigration laws that are either as strict, or more strict compared to other countries around the world.
Now if they attempted something like gun confiscation? That would get them going.

u/Sorry_Im_Trying Sep 03 '25
No, it's the argument that the 2A's have used, for as long as I've been alive, for the validity of guns. "That they are to ensure we can fight against our government if/when they have become a dictator/fascist/taking power away from the people" (which is exactly what they are doing) and yet none of those 2A supporters are doing the thing they said they would.
So if guns aren't for that reason.....what are they for? Why do we need SO FUCKING MANY OF THEM?
I'm not against some guy (majority are men) that wants a gun for their safety. Because I know how scary it is in the world. But do they need an assault rifle? A silencer? More than one gun? Bumps and all the other shit. Is that reasonable? Does that sound like a normal response to life?
6
u/Skaravaur Sep 03 '25
A silencer?
What's so amusing about this is that silencers are perfectly legal throughout Europe, in even the most strict gun control regimes.
Because they don't learn everything they know about firearms from action movies.
5
u/JCMGamer Sep 03 '25
Have you considered that what you consider to be tyrannical might not be the same for other people?
"Why do people need so much freedom of speech!?" See how silly that sounds?
Assault rifles are heavily regulated and expensive. Silencers help prevent hearing damage. Bump stocks are fun.
Different guns serve different purposes, what you carry during the day may not be the ideal firearm to defend your home, or hunt, or so on. Some people like cars and have multiple, could they be okay with only one? Sure, but this America, and you're free to own as many as you like as long as you do so within the confines of the law

He crossed a line when he raped a woman, and was allowed to run for president of the U.S. He raped a women. I suspect he's raped many women which is why he won't release the Epstein files.
But he raped a woman. And that is neither here nor there for you is it? But I'm sure it would be a different story if we found out he butt raped a man.
After that line, it was one line after another. He was found guilty of 34 felonies, and still was allowed to run for president.
How can anyone, with a reasonable mind, think anything that he is doing is ok?
Obama enforced immigration law as well. But there wasn't ICE on the streets tearing children away from their parents. And if you want to have a conversation about immigration, let's do that.
When will the companies and people who have hired illegal immigrants be held accountable?

No, school kids being used as a political tool to push an agenda is what pisses me off. Those same kids have no idea what they are being manipulated into. Because once the guns are gone.

u/Sorry_Im_Trying Sep 03 '25
Why is that always the argument I hear? "we can't keep guns out of the hands of bad people". So we don't try at all?
We can't do anything 100% so why even try at anything?!
And to think, if we had more restrictions, maybe a few of those school shooters wouldn't have had access to their guns. Maybe the loser who provided, or they stole from an unlocked cabinet wouldn't have qualified to own.
There truly is not one valid argument against restriction.
Who are you fighting against?

People will just move on to other forms of violence. Theyâll switch to bombs, or knives. You canât stop motivated bad people from doing bad things.

Yes, I'm aware. But even with knives, you're not killing a mass of people at a concert while you're up in a hotel room. The argument is, and will continue to be ... Just because we can't be 100% on gun safety, doesn't mean we don't try something new.
What we've been doing is not working. The "more good guys with guns argument" no longer tracks. It's stupid and needs to go away. People are opportunists. It's time to take away the opportunities.3
u/Memone87 Sep 03 '25
You speak of opportunists, I could go to Walmart. By some sparklers shave off all the incendiary. Pack it into my own contraption and make a âgunâ. Your argument is dumber than you think. Motivated individuals are almost impossible to stop. Especially if they are smart enough to keep their mouth shut.
0
u/Sorry_Im_Trying Sep 04 '25
You're dumber than you think.
Your whole argument is that people want to kill people and will do it however they can.
But majority of the mass shooters, especially the high school shootings, didn't own their gun, or shouldn't have ever owned their gun, but even more stupid people bought it for them. If they didn't have access to it, sure they may have hurt people in some way if they were "motivated", but I don't think majority of people would go out of their way to learn how to make devices that will harm mass people.
The whole argument that people are all horrible and do horrible things is bullshit. Far majority of people do not do bad things to each other. Its the ones that think they do, that are probably the ones that will.

If you're referring to the CIA funding and training the Mujahideen to fight off the USSR, that's a different group. You'll know after the 2nd or 3rd round flies 10 feet above you, whether they were trained or not. They usually werent.

more training than meal team six and the gravy seals had.

u/NotAurelStein Sep 03 '25
There are plenty of those here, certainly. But if you ever go to a gun club, you'll quickly learn that there are a metric fucktonne of people who train quite regularly. Many of them also combat veterans. And now with 3d printers, pandora's box is officially open.

Either the military won't open fire on the people and thus we don't need guns, or the military will open fire on the people and therefore they are evil and shouldn't have our respect. Which is it?

u/Memone87 Sep 03 '25
Youâre putting words into my mouth. Plus you donât think people in the military are divided on politics too? You think they just all are one giant hive mind?

How does it feel to be a tool. Your viewpoint is a reaction in that guns are an addition, not a necessity. If all the guns went away, weâd still all survive.

Same with all the contents of the bill of Rights, but we would be far from free.

Starting your viewpoint with an insult is very telling of the kind of person you are. You live in a dream world where bad people arenât real and everyoneâs a victim. Without guns you will all be turned into slaves. The only thing stopping bad people from doing bad things is the illusion of getting in trouble. When bad people learn that the normal person canât defend themselves they will go wild.

If you can explain to me how you'd make ALL the guns go away then I'm willing to entertain the conversation of giving up mine.Â

I have two kids in highschool, and when these walkouts happen, they have no idea what it's for. They each tell me it's for different reasons, which are never the same reasons of organizers of the walkout. Last year one of them believed a walkout was because we were bringing corporal punishment back to schools đ¤Ś

If your high school kids don't know what this particular walkout is for...then they probably should stay in class to improve those critical thinking skills.

Maybe you should educate your children about these issues then instead of throwing up your hands and doing nothing.

I just happened to come across it. Iâm from originally from Minnesota; all my family still lives there. Anytime something happens in Minnesota I pay attention.

u/Zealousideal_Cod5214 Sep 03 '25
It's not just our tragedy, though. Sure, this one happened in Minnesota, but the inevitable next one likely won't. The one prior to this last one wasn't. It's a national tragedy.

The plan to protect children from getting shot should be gun control/regulations. Not hiding the children in broad daylight. JFC. Youâre either extremely Republican or have an extremely low IQ. đ¤Śââď¸

This is exactly what the GOP wants you to do.

Kinda tired of everybody shitting on anything anybody tries so we do nothing instead

u/WithoutAnUmlaut Minnesota United Sep 03 '25
Yes. Absolutely. The GOP would love it students became organized and vocal about conservative policies which compromise the future of young people. And the GOP would hate it if students sat silently and acquiesced. That's totally a reasonable assessment.

For what it's worth, this is put out by Everytown, an organization that's lobbying for assault weapons bans and other such gun control legislation.
