I don’t think children get shot at school often enough for that to be a realistic worry

  Interesting take. So you'd say that a non-zero amount of child murders is good? Something to be maintained?

    Restricting freedoms to make everyone free-er doesn't actually increase freedom. Your children already are covered by laws against murder. Banning guns may decrease the rate of school shootings, but it won't guarantee they cease. You'll never live in a world worry-free of gun violence, especially now that anyone can 3d print them at home.

      And yet the country I live in has had exactly one school shooting, and has a fraction of the murder rate of the US per capita. You can't then say "aha but the UK has more knife crime", because again, per capita, the UK has a tiny fraction as much knife crime as the US.

        My point still stands: society doesn't become free-er by restricting freedom.
