> this question is a serious one the question may be serious but the "solution" (kids have a phone so they can call their parents before they get shot) is not there are other ways to prevent school shootings, but because we have so many people in this country who like to play with guns we can't get it together enough to take the measures needed that would greatly reduce and perhaps totally eliminate school shootings (which are an almost uniquely American experience, and as a parent with kids in school, it's frankly terrifying and I couldn't give 2 f's about what the founding fathers wrote 250 years ago when the context and reasons for the 2A, which made sense at the time, have nothing to do with our modern era. It's like saying "well our illustrious all all-knowing founding fathers didn't find it necessary to ban slavery in the Constitution, and in fact, provided for it (3/5s etc.), so we should bow to their infinite wisdom and continue to allow it today."
