There will still be guns but there won't be the NRA linking guns to the GOP.
Guns don't have to be politicised.

Imagine the stress of living in an environment / community where guns are everywhere. Your child heading out to school, your partner, family going to a concert, shopping centre... You live in an estate / neighbourhood where neighbours have guns in the house. Neighbours with maybe a penchant for nights out on the drink, dabbling in rec drugs, having a rough time mentally and they have a semi automatic to hand... There's enough in life to increase  the stress levels without that constantly lurking in the background.

I often think it is crazy that America actually banned Alcohol but never guns.
Watched a debate on TikTok that Jon Stewart had with some House Rep and the guy was doing some mental gymnastics to justify why there should be no checks or registration required with gun ownership (a right in constitution) yet voters should be registered and have their IDs checked (also a right in the constitution)

Another great point he made was if Guns make America safer at what point does that happen? Because it is one of the most unsafe countries in the west. When does it become safer. How many more guns are needed?

One of the greatest mind tricks of the 21st century was/is the USA convincing people that everyone else in the world is crazy.

If only the teachers had a gun
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

That'll be the narrative, alright. No matter how many guns are in circulation, the gun nuts will still say that problem is "not enough guns."

Guns are used to divide the American working class so the ultra rich can become even wealthier.
There were SFA gun deaths in schools  in the 1970s

The shooter was a trans man.

Born biological female.

And born in a country and state where weapons of mass murder are freely available to whoever the hell wants them for whatever they want to do with them, including murdering little kids.

What sex/preferences etc the shooter is hardly matters in this instance though.

The headline should be yet another mass shooting in a school in the US & those poor families - nothing else
