+1 good lord.  All this RJ, social emotional learning, "we don't need SROs" seem to be doing jacksh1t.

What we NEED is gun control.   [/quote]

Yes. Since I'm European, it's so obvious to me. And I've lived here for many years, enough to realize that this isn't an American exception, due to history, Constitution, crime, gangs, hunting etc. No, there's just a lack of willpower. The Constitution can be amended. It already has.[/quote]

American here, and the Constitution doesn't even provide an unlimited right to guns. It's just that a group of zealots in this country have convinced people it says something it doesn't, and hand waives away the actual text AND the context of the 2nd Amendment, and for reasons I will never totally understand, the media and many people buy it despite the harm it's done to our country.

It's not lack of willpower -- many of us have spent DECADES fighting for gun control. But the other side is well-funded, deeply politically ensconced, and let's face it, insane. And the rest of us are held hostage by them. Most Americans support common sense gun control, just like they also support abortion rights and strong public education. The far-right in this country has become a powerful minority through voter suppression and media manipulation.

Sorry, I realize I'm ranting. It just makes me really mad when we see yet another gun incident in a school and people don't immediately recognize that the problem is TOO. MANY. GUNS.[/quote]
