Lets see if the media does stories about society crumbling or social media when kids get shot at school vs. when a CEO was shot vigilante style (Rhetorical Question, we know the answer, kids getting shot at school is normal in this country)
We need schools to go to just one door. This situation is getting out of control. Now it's time to get over this.
Arm the teachers and train them in what to do and close the campus to make it harder for these mentally ill whackos to get inside.
Yeah, trained Uvalade police officers stood outside a school and let it get shot up for an hour, but 67 year old Ms Gertrude the history teacher is gonna do something with her Glock. Good lord.
The kid who did it seemed perfectly capable of handling a gun effectively, why not give the other kids a chance to defend themselves and their classmates?
Yeah, but we need to delete the posts claiming it is because we don't teach the bible in schools anymore.
How so many Americans consider this standard operating and flatly refuse to engage in even minimal gun control, instead wanting to arm teachers or turn schools into fortresses just sickens me. I hunt. I target shoot. I have home protection. I’m tired of kids getting gunned down. When my wife and I go overseas, “how the hell do you do nothing about guns when your kids keep dying” is almost the first question asked. I… don’t have an answer that doesn’t put tools above babies.
I said it before, but when absolutely nothing changed after Sandy Hook I knew nothing would ever change. Merica
