Yet, Canada doesn't seem to have a problem with school shootings. So are guns really the problem?
Megaschools may be the root issue.
You know, you'd think that if we lived in a society where people used logic and reasoning to solve problems, the schools themselves would be the first thing we'd investigate and look for solutions. But nope...it's guns, dude. Guns. Guns guns guns! We just need to ban guns.
You see, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of students in countries like Australia, UK, and Canada that are sitting in class dreaming about how much they'd love to massacre their teachers and fellow students someday, but knowing that dream won't come true because guns are banned in their country, or because they'd have to go through the excruciating task of mailing a form in order to receive a permit so that they can buy one.
You see, if we just ban guns or regulate them, then all these kids who passionately desire to murder their classmates and teachers to the point that they make serious, detailed plans for it will have to call the whole thing off because it's too inconvenient for them to try to obtain a gun. If we can just deter this one silly little phase that most kids go through, they'll go on to live happy, normal lives as a productive and valued member of society.
I'm re-quoting this because I spent 10 minutes writing this only for it to be buried on the previous page within like 20 seconds.
But those countries don't have school attacks at anywhere near the frequency of the US, so what the fuck is your point exactly? ---
