on what to do if a school shooter attacks.
JEEBUS!
When I was a kid in NYC we had "Duck and Cover" for when the Soviets might drop the bomb. That was during the Cold War, when we actually feared a nuclear war was possible.
Now the fear is that our own will be targeting our kids? Not even foreign terrorists, but our own neighbors?
And the kids under fire are growing up with this?
What are we becoming?

Take care of the fucking GUN PROBLEM. Any politician who is not strongly on board with meaningful reform of our gun laws can go fuck themselves.
