[quote=Anonymous]I went to school and university in Paris, where the risks were mainly sexual assaults and bombs from Islamist terrorists. I rode the metro by myself to school. My university campus in the early 2000s was not secure (no blue light system, no night bus, no campus police, no cameras). I knew, without anyone telling me, not to use the basement level, not to walk by myself in any iffy-looking parts of campus, not to use the most graffiti-ed bathrooms. Same for metro: overground metro OK, underground metro OK, long walks in empty tunnels to connect from one line to another, not OK (better to use them at rush hour). I don't know how to address school shootings in the US. It blows my mind that this risk is largely preventable by strict gun control, but that somehow nobody wants to reread the Second Amendment and see that it actually does not give random people the right to bear arms.
