Video article refers to: David Hogg On The Changing Gun Debate | All In | MSNBC

“I think back to the Battle of Wounded Knee and the several hundred Native Americans, predominantly men, women, and children that were slaughtered by the United States government back in the 19th century, and how that’s never discussed as a mass shooting and that’s wrong because those people were not armed, and we were stealing their land,” Hogg said

The fact that people were slaughtered by the government is an argument against gun control.

Owning a gun does not make someone violent.

This kid contradicts himself and is naive in saying all the men who predominately commit suicide need to have the real courage to talk about what's affecting them.

These groups want to blame the violent society or the "gun culture" but don't ever reflect on the circumstances that may drive people in that direction. Like the fact that children in our schools are only taught to attend class and do their homework and learn very little about maturing emotionally and intellectually or about learning how to interact, work with, and solve differences with their fellow classmates. That point in particular has not really been considered in the 20 years since Columbine. But then look at the Corporate Media News that pits Americans apart and keeps them in a juvenile emotional and intellectual state.
