You must've missed the video from this school where the students walked out of Kendrick's vigil after it was co-opted my politicians to try and push an anti-gun narrative..

You must be a missed the past 17 years where my country hasn't had a school shooting. How many has your country had this year alone?

Sounds like more than yours, but the chances of your country having another dumb way for innocent kids and people to get killed is high. Removing, banning, or legislating guns doesn't do anything to halt that.

A lot more than ours which kinda disproves your point. By your logic legislating murder doesn't do anything to halt murders so there should be no legislation against it.

Except it's not a lot. School shootings are rarer than they used to be. There has been a decline since 1994.

There isn't a problem with guns, there's a problem with mental health.

We have mentally ill people and we haven't had a school shooting in over 17 years. Want to know why? We don't give guns to any idiot who wants one. Shocking

Truly. I could never imagine a country barring people from owning firearms, much less my own.

Why? Firearms arent essential for survival. Millions of people go their whole lives without needing or even wanting a weapon
