    You know what fully ended school shootings? The pandemic lockdown. We know what causes school shootings; schools are an underfunded nightmare pressure cooker half a step away from the prison system. We know how to fix it, change the system. Since we rushed back to the system that causes the shootings as quickly as we could, I guess you could absolutely say they died for nothing and will continue to die for nothing, probably until there are no more humans left to die for nothing.

      Turns out the solution was to ban schools. I’m surprised republicans aren’t using this to try to ban school altogether.

      I’ve often wondered how many people planned mass shootings that they didn’t go through with because of the pandemic.

      School shootings are caused by widespread access to firearms.

      There’s a reason why it’s only a major trend in the US.
