I have a different perspective now about guns after living in another country where school shootings—or any shootings for that matter—aren’t a thing. I get to send my three young children to school without worry that someone will walk in and shoot them because there are zero guns in this country. This is not to say mental health problems don’t exist everywhere, they definitely do. But those people don’t have access to the guns we have in the US to make such quick mass casualties..

The schools here have minimal security and the children flourish in their learning environment. It’s made me second guess returning to the US anytime soon unless serious gun control measures are implemented . This is a US only problem.. why? Because the US has the guns and/or doesn’t control them effectively.

Im not saying our police or military should not have them, I myself am in the military and trust me I understand the value of them. I also get that people have stopped shootings because a bystander was also armed and intervened, but.. What if we just stop the fire instead of saying we need the right to fight fire with fire? — all while this just continues to happen?

Do you honestly think it would affect their mental well bein in some negative manner? Also, you do realize whatever you are enjoying in another country is because the US carries the biggest stick in the world, right? We've spent 40 billion + on Ukraine, where we are arming civilians, which is exactly what you are trying to argue against being done in the US. You need to realize that the world is not a nice place and trying to make it what you consider a nice place is only going to lead to harm. You probably consider yourself an enlightened individual, but if you can't understand and accept human nature you are being willfully ignorant and are the furthest thing from enlightened.
