    Having active shooters so often you need drills for it isn’t an improvement

      And we still have nuclear Armageddon to worry about, it just got buried under the pile of things to worry about.

      Over having nuclear war hanging over your head enough you need drills for it? Yes, it is an improvement. Very much so.

      While shooters are way too much of a problem that we’re not addressing, they’re still actually pretty rare. Most people will be never be affected. I’m not trying to stick my head in the sand here or minimize the issue, just add the perspective that sometimes “way too often” is still rare. We need to be outraged, we need to do something, but this is not as likely for most of us as the internet might make you believe

        Nuclear war was only a threat for Americans because they were starting the war. They still have this threat they just ignore it. The US is in the middle of trying to start wars with China
