[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There was another Maryland shooting at Joppatowne HS School Shooting Friday.   My kids were much safer at school when we were posted overseas in the "third world."[/quote]

I mean, yeah. They were also in a private international school funded by your employer, yes? Possibly with a driver and robust security for the kids of diplomats?

That has absolutely zero bearing on what we're talking about here. [/quote]

Nope--even in local public schools, gun violence was non-existent.  This Onion article is supposed to be satire, but it's also very true.

ISLA VISTA, CA—In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said North Carolina resident Samuel Wipper, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this guy from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what he really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past five years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”
