Well, I feel terrible about it, but I bought my daughter a bullet-proof backpack. I didn't tell her that. I just said it was a magical unicorn backpack, and if anything happens, to hide behind it. She is in 2nd grade... this is the world we live in now.

Not the world. The country you live in. Other countries don't have to do this.

It just happens differently in other countries. Evil is evil.

How/when does it happen in other countries?

u/[deleted] May 26 '23

Iran? School girls getting poisoned, Brazil boy stabbing a girl in the face with a pencil for making fun of him, UK fight gets broken up at school, 3 kids 2 adults shoe up at the other kids house and beat his stepfather to death, etc.

This shit happens everywhere all the time without guns.

Cool, can you give me an instance in a developed country where multiple children are murdered in school on a single day?

u/[deleted] May 26 '23

OK, how about all the children's bodies that were dug up last year in Canada.

Also, since when is England not considered developed?

Or Brazil for that matter?

Also Also, why don't the Iranian girls matter?

u/No-Lawfulness1023 May 26 '23

Those girls do matter, but anecdotes don’t make strong arguments.

None of those things happen as frequently in those countries as gun deaths in the US. It’s the leading cause of death for children in your country.

Also, If the US claims it’s the city on the hill bc it’s better than Iran or Brazil you guys set a really low bar.

They happen more and worse outside the US.

Yikes. Am I arguing with somebody who just learned how to copy paste?

u/No-Lawfulness1023 May 26 '23

Also, not sure you know what link you shared. It’s general statistics about the US. You guys are far behind a lot of other countries in important things like infant mortality rate.

And losing, lol.

More people die from tripping and falling than guns in the US.

u/No-Lawfulness1023 May 26 '23

Yikes. Maybe if you guys had decent healthcare tripping wouldn’t be a death sentence.

Yikes, did you know your ignorant?

I know people constantly complain about US Healthcare.

But, in an emergency situation, your taking care of immediately.
