This is what 10yo think of in the USA.

@VeroniqueB99

It really hurts to read this. For the love of god why do we put guns over kids?

FFS...

That is simultaneously brilliant, insightful, innovative, depressing, and dark as hell...

"Children should not know fear, or death, or suffering, for it is not their lot to know. Theirs is a time for joy, and wonder, and a time of great discovery. Let them never despair, or hurt, or want. This should be our highest calling, and our most sincere dedication."

@SearingTruth Yeah what shocks me beyond words is that this country that literally worships children, where children are mini gods, is allowing them to b gin down like it's open season like nothing's happening...
@VeroniqueB99 Makes me feel incredibly sad. From the mouths of babes!
@VeroniqueB99 She was 10 years old, she was 8 when she thought of it, if not younger.
"Make kids have kid worries again". It's my new campaign platform.

@VeroniqueB99

the good old NRA, pushing solutions for selling more assault weapons than any other country in the civilized world.

@BillMcGuire @VeroniqueB99 Sandy Hook proved the US is OK with lunatics butchering its children with military-grade weapons because 2A and there's no way to keep this from happening in a country with more fucking guns than people.
@david @BillMcGuire @VeroniqueB99 Uvalde proved they'll stand by and watch while it happens.
@Kancept @BillMcGuire @VeroniqueB99 Yep, scratching their asses and eating donuts.
@VeroniqueB99
Let's find a way to monetize this fear - we already have kevlar-enhanced backpacks for our young'uns, let's build in blood packs that burst upon the sound of gunfire and sell refill packs on a subscription model. /s
@rouxdoo 😭 why why why why why....
@VeroniqueB99 This is the gun violence cult of the GOP fascists that terrorize children, deny citizen rights and profit from the disabled, I'll, and needy.
@VeroniqueB99 and then we indoctrinate them ever further, turning them into either monsters or victims.
@VeroniqueB99 That is just SO sad but SMART
@Philipnschofield yep.... but it really should NEVER have occurred to her.

@VeroniqueB99 It doesn't

America is a post-factual society now; all that's left is the slow spiral into societal collapse

@VeroniqueB99 Truly heartbreaking to read that. πŸ’”
It’s devastating to think that children feel the need to prepare for such unimaginable scenarios. This world can be so heavy, and it’s painful to witness the innocence of childhood being overshadowed by fear.
@vignub we are changing who they are.
@VeroniqueB99 This is what we've become. This is what happens when gun wrongs becomes more important than human rights. #GunWrongsNotRights
@VeroniqueB99
How are words like these, from a child, not enough?
@Sable_Shade because 2A. Kill kill kill. That's what we know how to do.

#ALT4you: "Last night my 10yr old niece told me she’s been collecting ketchup packets at school for the last two years. She said she always has a few in her backpack and stores the rest in her locker. Her sisters and | laughed. | told her it’s a strange item to collect then asked why she does it. She replied, β€œI collect them just in case someone decides to shoot people at school. I'll open a few packets and pour some on me & my friends and all around us so they think we’re already dead and won’t shoot us.”
