A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Yeah, how about no?
IDK about where the person you are replying to is from, but I see it as a viable strategy in the US. There are too many stories of children playing with guns and killing someone. Teaching firearm safety and demystifying them is like teaching sex ed.
Not having firearms everywhere is a better answer, but I can only control so much.
A really interesting video comparing gun law / cult in Switzerland and the USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnBDK-QNZkM
Thanks for that. I think the US has lost its mind over guns, and the means are now the end.
It's part of our fear culture. We always have something to be afraid of, and providing guns is our security blanket.
