    As an American, I think it’s poignant and clever. Maybe we should fix our shit if we don’t like getting called out for it?

        Recommend sending your kids to another country for schooling. Gun control isn’t going to happen in US. Vote all you want. The democrats are also afraid to make strong changes on this. It’s more likely the republican notion of everyone just having a gun all the time will catch on rather than real gun control. Sorry to sound so down. I would love to see gun control in US but they just aren’t going to to it. There is far too much lobbying and far too many people that view guns and cars as more valuable than their own children.

          Lol, send my kids to another country? Most of us here live paycheck to paycheck. Real talk? I took my kid out of school. Besides the threats of violence, public school in the US is a joke. I was homeschooled and I still ended up better educated than most people I know my age, without even really trying…

          Gun control isn’t going to happen in US.

          This is false. We have a mountain of gun control laws in place already. Many of them are rarely enforced.

          Maybe you meant that banning scary rifles is not going to happen in the USA? That would be an accurate prediction, based on the last few years of precedents set by our Supreme Court.

          Gun control isn’t the solution and would only serve to weaken the working class. Sending your kids to another country over something this rare is an imposible and laughable suggestion

          I like how you used the correct form of apostrophe at the end of friends’ but your overall sentence is clear.

          Truly, the cars of tomorrow will eat the orange cows of yesterday.
