yeah it is crazy fact of life that schools get shot up so much more frequently than police stations and federal buildings.

almost like politicians and police are safer than school children in the system run by police and politicians.

Also that this “fact of life” almost entirely applies only to schools in the US. The world works in mysterious ways indeed. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

It blows my mind as a non-Amerian that their politicians are saying that the right to own a gun and carry it around is more important than children being able to go-to school without the fear of being killed. That’s just the cost of ‘freedum’.

Their freedom to make the rest of society pay for their hobby.

do you seriously think the safety of the few outweighs the rights of the many? (we need more people with good aim to practice on political figureheads)

Politicians and cops have guns, or other people with guns, to shoot back. Schools do not.

It’s a class thing.

Therefore the average NRA opinion: If everybody has a gun…

Edit: I’m from Europe and a supporter of strict gun laws. I just saw an analogy in NRA and the Syndrom quote.

That is the case. But it does not make it any less true. Those with weapons are harder to assassinate than those of us without weapons. Again, it’s a class thing and you and I are not a part of that class.

That’s such a weird “sinister” line

Super-ness and gun ownership aren’t the same thing, and don’t work the same way.

When everyone is armed, everyone can kill.

When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill.

The former state of affairs is more fair, and hence less likely to lead to violence.

Almost like one of those places is not like the others in terms of having armed guards.
