    Their children don’t get mutilated beyond recognition at school, because their children’s schools are very, very expensive.

      Maybe we should hope for a few shootings on expensive boarding schools, then? What a time we live in when you’re Actually wondering if you should wish for a bunch of kids dying gruesome deaths to make things better…

        Unfortunately, beyond just being immoral, the trauma wouldn’t “teach” them a thing anyway.

        More than likely, they’d double down on their rhetoric and claim its because there wasn’t enough guns and abusive manipulation. Best case scenario, they’d demand some of those tuition fees went towards turning their school (and only their school) into a bulletproof fortress.

        If they actually started regretting their actions, they’d just be gagged and buried by their peers.

        We can already see this in action – record numbers of teenagers are blowing their brains out with their daddy’s “keep my family safe” guns.

        So where are the gun owners publicly pleading with other gun owners to properly secure their firearms? Where are the people haunted by the memory of teaching their child how to load and fire the round that killed them as they patted themselves on the back for being a “responsible gun owner”.

        They either don’t care about their dead kid (unlikely, even for the real pieces of shit), don’t acknowledge their role in enabling their suicide or simply don’t have a space to talk about it without being attacked.

      Why don’t their children get killed? Why would an expensive school not have shootings?

        There’s no need to be rhetorical. We know what schools have been targeted by mass murderers and whose children were killed.

        For example, the Ulvade shooter used semi-automatic rifles that were purchased from for-profit company Daniel Defense, founded by Marty Daniel, whose children have never been mutilated beyond recognition
