Hot take: school shootings (and mass shootings in general) are not enough of a problem to be even worth spending any political power on when the police kills more people per year than the amount killed by those spree shootings since 1982.
I couldn’t give a flying shit about white liberals finally getting to experience what’s like to be a victim or know a victim of gun violence when black neighborhoods lose people on the daily ON THEIR OWN HOMES because of the city or state’s refusal to enact actually effective gun violence prevention programs, and instead choosing to give a gorillion dollars to the police to the point they’re better funded than entire countries’ armies so they can kill us more effectively, and banning guns based on appearance and/or ergonomic features, or guns that are in common use by POC so they can effectively criminalize them further.
Also, ya’ll should notice how black schools never get shot up. You can kinda figure out why by yourself.
The average liberal american is so fucking used to the police being a force of protection for them and them only that they completely forget almost all the time that cops can just kill you on a whim. They are all completely fine with police violence as long as it does not affect them. Most of them instantly short-circuit when you say this. Police has killed over 40k people since 1980, that’s pretty much the entire population of certain small towns, but they’d rather freak out about AR-15s at their suburban safe school or when they go to the mall. And if you dare to tell this to fragile white people on social media they block you or call you a gun nut because they can’t fucking confront their white fragility.
