Gee, it's almost like having a deadly weapon that can be wielded by almost anyone, and would do an excellent job at protecting those children, would be a good idea.
Naw, let the children fight off bullets with books and paperweights. Life's a bitch - no sense in coddling them.
Of course, the solution to children using deadly weapons is to give them to more children. Genius!
Schools used to have shooting ranges built into them. And school shootings weren't a problem. Kids are more than capable of being responsible around firearms.
The only reason you're gunphobic is because you've been brainwashed.
Or - get this - it's because I'm from a country where having more guns than citizens isn't considered normal.
Children aren't old enough to vote, why the fuck would you think it's a good idea to give them easy access to ranged, deadly weapons?
"Gunphobic" is an absurd term, because a phobia implies an irrational fear, so fearing misuse of objects explicitly created for killing things isn't exactly a "phobia" so much as it is a legitimate concern for the country with the 2nd highest rate of firearm homicides per capita on the planet.
In my country, we don't do "school shooting drills". We don't need to.
