...and have seen similar images all over the internet and coverage of the marches currently going on in the US. Emma Gonazalez's name is becoming quite well known even over here in the UK. However, I NEVER see any conversations or images relating to this on Imgur (though quite a few guns). Is this because Imgurians are predominantly pro gun? Or is it that the issue is simply too divisive?

It's because you either haven't been looking hard enough, or miss references that require "local" knowledge. Imgurians are mixed on guns.

Sniffffff....I love the smell of exploitation in the morning.

Sniff...smells like Home schoolin’

There's plenty on usersub. The community's pretty mixed so the votes cancel eachother out. Hard thing to discuss with a character limit.

There’s no heros here- kids have been getting shot for years daily in Chicago and no one gives a shit cause they aren’t pale skinned.

Kids have been getting shot for years daily everywhere. It sucks.

Friendly reminder: the 1st Amendment is just as important as the 2nd one is.

there's a ton of it, but its divisive o it never gets to FP, spend a few mins in u-sub and you'll see loads

It's because these kids know nothing about gun policy, and are using emotions from a tragedy to restrict the rights of law abiding citizens.
GlazedNConfuzed
They just know how to get shot...am I right
YouMealyMouthedCrotchPheasant
I'd wager the top guy knows fuck all about it too. As for your "using emotions..", that is what politicians (on both sides) do all the time.

As opposed to the NRA... (cough cough)

The people defending a shit tier right to have guns because they are mentally children should NEVER have a gun
Ragnarukus
Don't think I've ever read or heard a right described as "shit tier" before...huh, seems weird?

You are 100% on the money. Bad government and laws are a result of emotions winning out over common sense. Keep the faith.
CaptainBlacklung
Because we are here to have fun. Not discuss peoples political opinions. Go to Redit if you want to do that shit. Imgur is not the place.
CaptainBlacklung
We'd rather discuss how many fingers you can fit in your bum.

Heroes? Are you f*cking joking?
GlazedNConfuzed
Is victims a better word for you
scrubdug
Non sequitur.

If someone comes to your school or workplace and murders your friends but you survive are you a victim?
scrubdug
No. You're just lucky. So what's your point anyway?
GlazedNConfuzed
Oh until one dies got it. Can wait to hear them speak up then.
SlamdogKillionaire
They’re doing more than I am, so good on them. I just read the arguments on imgur. That’s it. At least they did SOMETHING. What did you do?
CriManSquaFandCdoubletime
I bought a Glock.
scrubdug
These activists kids are heroes? Or am I missing something here?
scrubdug
Pretty low bar for hero status nowadays.
SlamdogKillionaire
I mean, compared to all of us just barking on the Internet, they’re workhorses for a cause they believe in.
GlazedNConfuzed
Tell me who are your hero’s
scrubdug
Don't have any. Don't need any. You?
