The Columbine Massacre was 25 years ago. Since then, we’ve had the same pattern of shooting —> thoughts and prayers —> doing jack shit every 1-2 years without any change. No reason to think it’ll change any time in the near future.

There will be zero consequences and we both know it. Some rational people will bring up gun control, while the nutters will repeat some inane thought-terminating cliche about “good guys” using their good guns to gun down all the bad guns, make up fake stats to suggest more guns would fix the problem of too many guns and how dare we try less guns, and at least a couple people will propose that every teacher should receive SWAT training and keep a stocked arsenal inside their desks, and we’ll keep repeating the same pattern until hell freezes over.

How is this regularly not used as an argument to defund the 40%?

"Look at how many times the cops have told us we're on our own? Are they really protecting us or just playing soldier?"
