The question was why schools? There’s mass shootings in many countrys but it seems the yanks have a fascination with schools. 

Nice and easy, no chance of being over powered or have someone try and shoot you back

Maybe trumps idea of arming teachers wasn’t such a bad one!

How would that work then? The teacher is constantly cocked and loaded and pointing their gun at the classroom door?

Yessir 

And if a teacher decides to be a mental lone Wolf, they can arm the kids just in case.

Eventually, you can have a thousand guns in a school and then EVERYONE is safe.

Not daft, our Trump

No, just like the majority of folk who have a weapon wouldn’t be doing.
 

It was a bit of a tongue in cheek comment but I’m sure a teacher with a weapon would have a better chance of shooting someone who’s shooting at kids than a copper who could be miles away. 

It’s like drugs cheats at the olympics.

If we just let everyone get stedded up to the eyeballs, it levels the playing field AND you’ll see folk doing the 100 yard dash in about 6 seconds.

After which, you can watch their hearts explode through their mouths.

Win win,

God Bless America, the land of the free.

The teachers should also have a button on their desk, where they can blow the entire school up if required, making sure that any gunman can't escape

I've said for years we should let athletes drug cheat as much as they want, most of them do already anyway. It'd be, as you say, great fun seeing records broken on a regular basis, as well as the odd chance of seeing collapses and cardiac arrests all over the place, whilst the event/game continues

It would be a great experiment on the extremities of human capabilities. I'm all for it. I'll sit and watch with popcorn likes it WWF wrestling.

Honest. Go on Twitter, there’s loads of accounts saying that’s the cause of his death.

They don’t say that they’re actual pathologists, but their Twitter bio’s say that they are revealing the truth, so they must be right. Even if they work at subway.

I think it is not just schools they just get reported more

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2022

Nearly 700 'events' only 5 at schools, surprisingly few dead but plenty injured.  

Never gets old this Jim Jeffries bit.

the cops shoot enough random folk innocently as it is, and they chose a job where they are meant to be armed and more than likely expect to use it

imagine giving a teacher a gun

sure they'd get training

but fuck me

be accidental deaths all over the show, in addition to when a mass shooter rocks up
