      I live in a country with rather restrictive gun laws. That stuff works great! I never have to worry about getting shot.

            For real, avoiding those areas they mentioned only does two things

            1. Shows that they fear getting shot or stabbed in those areas, which is directly counter to their attestation.

            2. Indicates they’re probably super racist, because how do you tell what is or isn’t a “gang area”?

            Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason), and people like this refuse to consider ANY worthwhile fixes.

            The data is entirely clear, gun regulations reduce gun violence. Full stop.

              Kids here are afraid to go to school (for good reason),

              Why? Who is abusing their kids by trying to convince them that they should be afraid of school?

                They’re afraid because people keep going to them and shooting kids indiscriminately. They have to do active shooter drills because it’s such a common occurrence. They don’t need convincing, it’s obvious

                  Yikes. Normalizing exotic scenarios. My daughter is afraid of thunder, a much more logical and reasonable fear. Any kid that is afraid of going to school because maybe someone will be on the news is a victim of abuse. If you can’t trust your fellow man, you can’t be trusted to participate in society.
