No, Stephan, your generation has NOT been defined by gun violence. It is seemingly defined by sentimentality, emotional outbursts, Left wing idiocacy, and a holier than thou (though it often seems it’s overrun by those in a Romans 1:18-32 condition) attitude.
Now that WA is a gun free zone the crazies have a new hunting ground free of citizen armed zealotry. They will learn what “defined by gun violence” really means.
