    War is a racket, even if it’s against your own people. Gun culture and the shootings epidemic, and the subsequent industries that have sprung up as a result like this one, are massively profitable for a small group of people who either work in government or have it financially by the balls via “lobbying” (bribery), and they will always prioritise that profit over your life (or the lives of innocent children, for that matter). Every, single, time.

    My personal conspiracy is that the American government refuses to actually do anything about school shootings because they want you guys to stop sending your kids to public school.

      That doesn’t make any sense though, why would the government not want people to use the facilities they provide? The “take everyone’s guns away” theory makes more sense.

    Jesus Christ, what a load of crap. No tragedy is horrible enough to keep people from wanting to profit.

    I’ll buy those door wedges as prudent and cost effective, as well as safety drills: being able to react to an emergency can be important. Does every school do that yet

    But do you know what I have seen in every school my kids have gone to? There’s always a door propped open, broken, or trivial to bypass the lock. Why don’t we start there?
