Yeah, not proud of the snarky finish, but I think we’re definitely talking past each other a bit either way.
Side note: even without guns, China has a surprisingly high incidence of mass attacks at primary schools – with weapons other than guns. Knives are the most common, ppl on a rampage don’t mind putting in the extra work if they have to I guess… But yeah. Primary schools.
Its cool to be a contrarian on the internet, but I’ve got two young children too, and tbf any violence in schools is too much. Honestly don’t give a shit if even 99% of “shootings” were just that (they’re not, but still), that 1% is no less serious of a problem than if it was 99%.
Especially since, again, we’re somehow the only country in the world that has such a problem keeping kids from getting murdered at school.
Now we’re talking!
Columbine kicked off the school shooting thing. Want infinite notoriety? Want to commit suicide by cop? Shoot up a school. Did ya know those assholes had a failed pipe bomb? Imagine if that had worked. We might be looking at a whole different issue.
Anyway, I suspect we agree on much. As to guns, I’ll keep saying this; America doesn’t have a gun problem, America has a culture problem.
