And before you say that’s just a boomer thing, consider these comments from where I got it:

My Indiana elementary school in the early 80s too.

      Of course, the solution to children using deadly weapons is to give them to more children. Genius!

          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.
