it's such an insane american belief that the answer to safety is not: reduce gun amounts, reduce what guns people can buy, improve mental health counseling, improve healthcare, improve quality of life through cheaper housing and well-paying jobs, but instead the copout which doesn't even work--adding armed police outside of every school. uvalde called, it doesn't work. and the rest of the world looks on in shame at this exceptionally american and exceptionally cruel system. | ||

To be fair, it wasn't just Uvalde. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Scot_Peterson https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/parkland-shooting-verdi... We assume that the police will come to the rescue for all situations, but the fact is, they're human too. This is typically different than the pro-gun mantra of "The best defense from a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." He was clearly a good guy. But he didn't want to die. | ||
