[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an elementary school teacher, it broke my heart to see the kids being interviewed and struck me how they were not at all surprised that this happened to them. Our kids are growing up expecting to go through an active shooter situation at school. We are breeding the next generation of domestic terrorists.[/quote] +1 How can this be the world we leave to our children?[/quote] It's only the "world" in the US. Other civilized countries don't have this issue. I've told my kids who have dual citizenship with a European country to seriously think about moving there if they have kids. The US is a horrible place to raise children. My friend moved to Portugal with her family, including little kids. They never ever worry about school shootings, or shootings anywhere.[/quote] If you think other civilized countries in the world don’t have this problem you are ill informed. It might not be guns in Europe but there are now frequent mass killings using vehicles and knives. Sydney, Australia mall killings April 2024. Man uses knife to kill 6 people and injure 12. Norway July 2011. Man sets off bomb in Oslo killing 7 then goes to an island where there was a youth camp and killed 69 people there. Germany 6 dead, 200 injured in Dec 2024 Christmas market attack. 2016 Christmas market attack in Germany killed 12. China 2023 man uses knife to kill 6 children in a kindergarten. China 2024 man uses knife to Kill 8 and injure 17. Portugal Sept 2014. 12 year old boy wearing a bulletproof vest stabs six children ages 11-14 at his school. Austria June 2025 school shooting. 21 year old shoots and kills 9 at a school. 2002 Germany school shooting kills 17. Jokela Germany school shooting in 2007 kills 9. Finland school shooting 2008 kills 10. Gunman was inspired by 2007 German killing. May 2023 school shooting in Serbia kills 10. Chech Republic Dec 2023 school shooting 15 dead Swedish school shooting 2025 former student kills 10. I don’t think it should be legal to have the type and variety of guns that are available in the US but I no longer believe in banning guns. It’s too late. I think the internet should be massively censored instead. Online chat rooms of people discussing violence and people being able to look up details of previous school shootings should not be allowed. Media coverage of school shoutings should be censored with no details given of shooter besides sex and age. No names or photos available. This recent school shooter wrote about being inspired by Sandy Hook. It’s a perverse cycle. Parents want their kids to have a phone in case of a school shooting but the internet on those phones are deadly.
