Implementation of policies such as police officers being assigned to schools, metal detectors, school uniforms, and even sometimes flat-out hiring security guards. Anti-bullying programs were also implemented largely due to Columbine.

These types of mass shootings have killed hundreds of people out of the hundreds of millions of us that have been alive during the time period in which they happened and 100% of are going to die anyways of something so conceivably we could do absolutely nothing and the life expectancy would barely change at all for the general population.

Or we could freak the fuck out and weep and shriek and act like the sky is falling down.

How is this bait. Everyone dies. Everyone in this topic, everyone on this board, everyone in this world. You are talking about altering the constitution to try and combat something rare enough that it will not significantly alter the life expectancy of anyone.

What is the point of freaking out about events that have a low likely-hood of ever occurring. I'll give you an anectdote. I was on a base in Iraq and my bunkmate was pissing his pants because mortar alarms were sounding. I explained it to him. Are you afraid of being hit by a semi truck driver swerving into you from opposite lane on the highway and smooshing you in your car or a vehicle jumping the curb and smooshing you while you walk on a sidewalk? Are you afraid of getting terminal cancer? Are you afraid of a bolt of lightning striking you in every storm? Are you afraid a meteor will strike the earth and kill us all at any given moment?

If you think about the possible things that could kill any given person whether it be mortars landing directly on your face or a mass shooting killing you are basically the equivalent of pissing your pants at the idea of walking outside in a storm.

Man up.

You have to realize that I am a 21rst century American man JustMonika. I am not especially religious and I am tolerant of most religions (including all the major ones, islam, hinduism, christianity, judaism, budhism), people, sexual orientations, but I am a 21rst century man that grew up American. I swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign an domestic. There are tens of millions of us that swore the same oath and if there comes a day when you stand as a threat we will fall upon you like wolves and tear you to pieces.

This isn't me threatening I just get the fact that for kids that are from families the immigrated recently or maybe from families where their parents and grandparents were too disabled to serve they may not realize. There are literally tens of millions of people like me.

We have all been indoctrinated to kill you. Its true. And we will pull that trigger. It isn't even something we chose. Its generations of programming. You just have to realize the consequences. I don't even own a gun right now but if you tried to ban guns I would get one and I would start using it and I do know how to use it.

Where do people get the idea that it can be prevented, anyway?

We often get "eliminate" and "prevent" confused with the other. The only thing that comes out of this is a police/nanny state that only makes things worse. Hell you didn't hear about nearly as many school shootings in the 90s, did you?

Look up "security theater" for starters.
