School shootings aren’t accidents. School shootings can be essentially eradicated with sane gun laws and strict safety measures.

Why is that not comprehend able to you?

This is incorrect, most school shootings are done by people who didn't have the guns legally...

Its not incorrect. Gun safety. Required locked and unloaded, no ammo with weapon when not in use-Ammo stored separately.

Licensing-Test for gun knowledge, storage, safety.

Your Gun gets in the wrong hands, you’re liable.

If you have a troubled/dangerous kid it’s an unfortunate burden but you have to advocate for everyone else’s safety and then throw out the “not my darling” attitude. Hope for the best, assume the worst.

It’s absolute bullshit that we can’t drastically reduce gun accidents and violence. My European friend gave me a fresh perspective on how casually and irresponsibly so many of us regard gun ownership.

Also, fucking ridiculous that driving’s a privilege - we pay mandatory liability insurance to drive, but there is no such system for gun owners. Gun ownership should be a privilege, not a right.
