    Gun control works.

    And OK maybe it doesn’t solve the problem 100%, but it solves it 99%, and that’s a lot of schoolkids that aren’t dead any more. Look at any first world country for working examples; I’m in the UK, and yes we still have some gun violence, but it’s a whole load less than it would have otherwise been.

    And it’s incredibly short sighted to reject any solution that doesn’t solve a problem 100%. Partial solutions are good.

      Canada has had 4 shootings at elementary and high schools in the better part of a century. To increase that, you would have to include colleges and universities, and that would only increase that number to nine.

      Nine.

      Meanwhile, America has almost 300 every year. And that’s only elementary and high schools.
