    On the other hand, US families can also expect their kindergarteners to have to participate in active shooter drills. Because, you know, active shooters are a thing. Screw that.

      If you look at statistics, it’s extremely unlikely for any school to have a shooting. 99.99999% of children from ages 0 to 18 in the USA are not harmed by firearms.

      So you can waste your time and sanity worrying about that or just live without fear and find what makes you happy in life. Either way you and your kids will be safe so it’s your choice to be crippled by irrational fear or not.

        Or we can actually do something to prevent it from ever happening. The math is not hard. No guns = no gun violence.

          That’s just a fantasy that will never happen though. Guns are already here in the number of hundreds of millions, and we have the right to own them, and we choose to keep them.
