    Devil’s Advocate:

    It would be easier to protect all the CEOs (there are probably less than 100 of the “very important” ones), than thousands of schools across the country.


    I mean, at least that’s gonna be the excuse the government will use, I guarantee it.

    The real reason is: Why even bother protect the kids when a national abortion ban is gonna guarantee more to replenish them. As someone famously said: “One person’s death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” Seems like the government has been learning new quotes.

      Y’all act like there aren’t millions of Americans that don’t give a shit about school shootings. I’d bet my life savings if “the government” successfully banned guns to prevent school shootings, many of our people would absolutely riot

      Where does anyone find the need to invent shady government plots like free, unregulated access to guns isn’t a very popular policy with many living, breathing, thinking people that have equal (or in many cases greater) voting power as us?
