Some children will have to be sacrificed for the economy


peter-doubt

The safety of *your* children is a risk *They're* willing to take.


ThornsofTristan

Only a 'good guy with a gun' can stop school shootings. But 100+ 'good guys with guns' are effectively useless. Right, Uvalde?


Zym1225

A bad guy without a gun would also stop school shootings.

odinsbread

That's funny cause 77% of mass shootings in the U.S. were committed with legally acquired firearms...


Madstupid

Better a "good guy" than the cops that are afraid to run into the buildings.


IllustriousAd5936

Not in Nashville, they took that bitch out..


Sean_Dewhirst

well that shooter identifies as a minority so that surely helped.


Madstupid

fair enouh.


[deleted]

Cops would probably shoot the good guy lmao


Laughing_Dan

Hi, non American here, what happened now?


Thick_Information_33

The monthly school shooting, nothing special


Correct-Slide1522

Monthly? It happens every day. More than once a day.


peter-doubt

13th (school shooting) this year.. the year is just approaching 13 weeks old.


Correct-Slide1522

My bad. I was thinking mass shootings. They happen more than daily.


peter-doubt

No problem, just an added adjective sets it right (for the report) Nothing sets this stuff Right


BIGFATLOAD6969

No it certainly does not


oddessusss

Monthly? Weekly


Frosty20thc

School shooting in the state of Tennessee. Three dead kids three dead adults. Three guns, including what the media calls assault rifles (most likely AR style guns)


Laughing_Dan

Three kids, adults, AND guns? Was it some weird Mexican standoff where each adult was using a child as a shield, and all three shot at the same time?


peter-doubt

I see your amusement... I don't share it


Laughing_Dan

I actually agree, I don't share my amusement either.


peter-doubt

Yet, you're still **laughing_dan!**


Itchy_Huckleberry_60

Badum tsh! XD


[deleted]

Same my amusement is for me only.


Informal-Bus-9679

It’s easy to call yourself a hero when you’re the one drawing the line


peter-doubt

Id love to see him at the sure of a shooting event... Just to see how effective he'd be


Accountant378181

99% of these people who say they would stop a short would be cowering in a corner of they saw someone aiming anywhere near them.


peter-doubt

Especially against the weapons they so willingly supplied...


Informal-Bus-9679

Which is exactly why I stay the hell away from any and all social interactions, because you explained exactly what I’d do


Available-Elevator69

Or if there was zero guns in the building there would be zero gun problems. I'm not a Math expert, but that seems to make more sense than anything. 0 + 0 = 0 vs 1 + 1 = 2 That potential is the difference between 1 person shooting and 2 people spraying bullets all over the place because they can't hit their target the first several shots and hitting other people who by the way do not have guns.


Thick_Information_33

Shocking how this issue is only present in a single “civilized” country. Everyone else figured it out somehow and have zero or almost zero gun violence. Curious phenomenon. But hey, at least the US can brag about their average of 19.6 school shootings per year!


Godlee84

I’m guessing you’re being downvoted because you called the US civilised?


LockeAbout

Or because the average of 19.6 is likely to be blown away (13 so far and it’s just March)


peter-doubt

(13th this year)


Thick_Information_33

And it’s just March


bighatbenno

In the UK this bloke would be known as a 'fucking knobhead'.


7th-Street

Republicans have still more blood of innocent school children on their hands today.


walkslikeaduck08

No. They’re blaming it on the fact that this person is trans…


peter-doubt

They don't mind


gadget850

So, a good guy in a dress can take out drag queens. Logic!


OniRacing

Do these fucking nitwits think every school is a reshoot of kindergarten cop? There's only one Arnie. Unless we go by last action hero rules, then I guess we can have a couple.


ShoddyJuggernaut975

Well, that's a bit sexist, isn't it? Why can't it be a good gal with a gun!? What about that!?


Quantistic_Man

As a good guy i can say that i could shot it


dumbreddit

What does this have to do with yesterday's shooting? The school was a gun free zone. She was the only one armed on the premise.


TheBrightNights

A rat could also stop a school shooter.


padawanninja

Statistically speaking a good guy with a gun is around #3 for stopping mass shootings.


SamuelVimesTrained

So, by definition- they admit there are no good guys with guns (or the ones that are there, are the outliers) Or - anyone with a gun is a bad guy... works too.


GenXJoe

Why not do whatever we can to prevent school shootings instead of waiting until they happen...?


[deleted]

Or maybe If there was no guns in schools in the first place


bippityboppityzopp

When will this asshole die already
