What can be done to protect children from school shootings immediately?

@Adrift social media

@Adrift ^the ability to disconnect from reality easily… not being truly present and spending time viewing other people’s posted “highlight reels”. Quick and easy ability to connect online, but failing miserably at connecting to people in person. A loss of social skills, a loss of compassion, a loss of the ability to think for oneself. Things are so quick and immediate these days, people suck at waiting or practicing patience, people suck at thinking.

(Not all people/everyone) just rambling ideas

@WaryWitchWandering Boy I agree with alot of these.
I also feel that the parents didn't take enough responsibility when the kid was being investigated the first time.
In our house the hunting rifles were stored in a state of disassembly.
The bolts were removed and stored away in another safe.

@Adrift I've discovered that democrats get ill when you use that deductive reasoning...

kids used to have two (present) parents, a mother and a father; God was still in school; kids recited pledge of allegiance every morning; hunting clubs/gun safety was still a high school course; society didn't hand out participation trophies nor reward cheaters; being a delinquent meant a leather belt or hickory switch; bullies got a busted nose instead of a counselor and a slap on the wrist; etc.

that's what changed

@Adrift We also had more stable communities where neighbors knew one another and schools were better integrated into our communities. Schools were much smaller, neighborhood schools where most kids walked to school. Teachers and parents knew one another and kids had fewer opportunities to slip under the radar. Most households, then, were 2+ adult households where there was almost always one or more adult at home.

Today’s America is very different from that. Very different.

Anyone remember when there was once a legal definition to community standard? Is there such a thing today?

@Adrift we had God in our schools

@saragoodtimes s

Thank goodness they didn't do animal sacrifices to please their imaginary god at that time.

@WaryWitchWandering
We have those things here, and elsewhere too. But we still don't have the same school shooting problem. I think a big problem in the US is a lack of feeling of belonging, a lack of solidarity. And of course it is made worse by easy access to effective long distance weaponry.
