The impressive part is that kind of thing just naturally happens, and the discussion comes around whether it fits the school shooting framing or not.

- feliciousx 2y agoyeah, i can’t imagine raising my kid in an environment where they could actually die from a gunshot. i don’t understand how this is so normalised in a first world country
- bagels 2y agoIs there some place where it is not possible to be shot? Even space is not safe, Russia brought guns with them.
- makeitdouble 2y agoThis could be one of the most difficult part to appropriately convey with words. There are guns everywhere, in every country. In the most peaceful places there will be some portion of cops allowed to wear guns, there will be hunters with permits etc. There will always be a non-zero chance to be shot. But whether that non-zero chance is 0.00001% or 1% makes a world of difference and will have deep impacts on how we live our life, talk to people, deal with confrontations. A low enough probability brings radical changes.
