Across the country, states require more training to prepare students and teachers for mass shootings than for those expected to protect them. The differences were clear in Uvalde, where children and officers waited on opposite sides of the door.

    Ah, so they aren’t getting the protection they need but they are getting the protection they deserve.

      Politics are more complicated than that. Nobody deserves to have their children murdered because of their mistakes, even if it’s an expected outcome.

        Yes. But if having their children murdered still isn’t enough to make gun control an important issue then… what can even be done?

          With every other crime (not done by rich white dudes) Lemmy thinks it’s a social issue. Why not safety nets and mental health assistance?
