 If America had 5 million citizens like NZ instead of 350 million, (NZ would be our 24th largest state) i'm convinced we would have a much different situation and changes would come quicker and would already be in placeBentleyspop said:

 I'll play devil's advocate here. How are drills for active shooters any different than a fire drill? Both can be prevented to a certain extent, but never completely, thus the need for drills to ensure as many people as possible survive. Now, this is in no way an endorsement for doing nothing in regards to prevention, which seems to be the current state as it relates to active shooters. Imagine if we took the approach to fire code and prevention the same as we have to gun violence. Yikes!josevolution said:

 I worked 25 years for a school board in Canada, a few years back they started active shooter drills, and the police would conduct training at some of the schools. As the director of education stated, "it's like buying insurance, you hope you never need it, but it never hurts to be prepared".tbergs said:

 You can definitely be “too safe”, because focusing on safety as the sole goal stifles so many other experiences, but that’s not really the salient issue here. Active shooter drills are a poor excuse for a bandaid solution at best, compared to addressing the gun violence issue. As tbergs said, we don’t just have fire drills while we ignore changing how we design and build schools to prevent fires from even starting.Ledbetterman10 said:

 You still purposely try and twist my words to somehow demonize me. At no point have I even remotely mocked schoolhouse slaughters. One last time for the resident genius... I mocked your country’s pathetic response to them.
 In another post... you talked about how population is a factor. That’s tantamount to the able bodied unemployed bum offering excuses why he can’t go get a job (too far... not great in the morning... I heard that company sucks... etc.). Weak.
 Further... you talked about ‘knee jerk reactions’. Dear gawd man. You think an appropriate response to routine mass murder by a gunman in the US would be a knee jerk reaction? Can I go “hahahhahahahhahhaha” without you thinking I’m mocking dead children? Can you establish that I’d be laughing at you? Is it worded clearly enough? Maybe fresh enough so that it’s not stale?"My brain's a good brain!"0

 Guns aren’t going anywhere either. In all honesty, I’d feel safer with my kids going to a fortified school if they were attending school in the US.
 Guns don’t make their way into Disneyland. Let’s make sure they don’t make their way into the school system. Tax the shit out of guns and ammunition and make the users pay for the heightened security across your land."My brain's a good brain!"0

 Passing time before "the report" is good, but there is a robust thread for"guns" here?
 Im awaiting explanation here for the nearly 2 days (one day for each hand) waiting for a supposedly "clean" report completely exonerating POTUS.
 And two days with zero Russia tweets from him.
 WTF, if it's clean, released the damnned thing. This is not about someone's email server, it's about wtf Russia did to our election.0
