A thought from David Bowie

The fact that it's actually come to students having to advocate for gun control to not die is absolutely pathetic.

I mean that depends on how you define control. Some consider control as a ban on AR15 like rifles. Others want intense background checks.

The problem is that a lot of them end up becoming violent in one way or another, as well as being hate speech in the first place.

Hate speech is free speech. At least if you are in the US. And after they become violent they will be prosecuted according to the law.

Whenever the idea of universal health care is floated in the US, one of the major counters is that healthcare is a privilege, not a right

But the same party that uses that argument also argues that guns are a right and all citizens are entitled to own guns, regardless of reason

That's not quite the issue I was addressing; guns and healthcare are vaguely on the same footing as "rights". Your right to a gun is 1/2
