Was there another school shooting or something?
An average of like 10-15 children die every day in US due to being shot. Sure there are more that survive but look like SpongeBob here.
Thats a pretty solid dark joke. Itd also be more realistic and darker if spongebob was black.

That’s probably true but not really an answer to the question. Most shot kids are victims of gang violence.
What do you think was meant by “or something?” The question was answered. Meme shows school kids shot up. Gangs or whatever shoots them up. Yes it happened today. Happens everyday.
Okay but it’s disingenuous. You can disagree. It’s a massive disparity between school deaths and gang violent deaths so I feel it warrants a little more clarity of communication.
Is it a massive disparity or is it a simple common demoninator of guns are far too easy to obtain in the US? There is an incredibly strong correlation between stringent gun control and less school and gang shootings of children in many other nations.
What’s this obsession with minimising school shootings while maximising gang violence? Sounds very much like a racist dog whistle.
Because they have different causes and different solutions.
Car crashes are killing X people; if you insist on treating all car crashes as though they were caused by someone intentionally driving into a crowd–versus inattentive drivers or driving drunk–then you aren’t going to be able to solve the problem.
Idunno, making guns a lot harder to obtain would help a lot with both and so would replacing a lot of cops in both poorer neighborhoods and schools with social workers and mental health professionals 🤷
I think you’re right in what you’re saying but not what I think you’re implying. The solution to one problem is mental health regulations, the solution to the other is improper use regulations. Which are different, but fall under the same umbrella.
Either way, taking about cars is exactly where I’d take the comparison because it’s the only other commonly owned (highly effective) weapon in the us. We require a license to use one and liability insurance to own one, then take that license away if you show that you can’t use it properly. That’s exactly what if like to see happen to guns.
“Children” in that stat includes gang members and suicides. Still bad things, but don’t misrepresent what’s going on.
How is counting dead children misrepresenting what is going on? Dead is dead. When I say I want fewer guns it is because I want fewer deaths, gang members and depressed kids included.
A 17 yo in a gang that is shooting at other gang people and gets shot dead is the same thing as a 10 yo bystander?
Children in those stats are human beings under 18 years old.
Sanctimonious Americans really are holier than thou.

A sponge that was a solid block of cellulose wouldn’t work as a sponge. So I guess that’s supposed to be BlockofCelluloseBob Squarepants?
Ironically, Spongerobert would be more resilient to school shootings since sea sponges can reconstitute themselves even after massive damage, such as being forced through a fine mesh screen.
Cartoon characters are also pretty durable.
God dammit
Where oh where is GoodGuyWithGunMan to save us when we need him?
Last I heard, he was shooting at that escaped Pennsylvania inmate - but missed, while the inmate got away with another one of his guns. GoodGuyWithGunMan’s only weakness - more guns.
Lets not talk about the multiple per year mass school stabbings that happen in China.
Can you provide source?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_attacks_in_China 3 this year and last one was a kindergarten.
That’s not even comparable to the amount that’s happening in the US, we’ve definitely got a bigger systemic problem here. With that being said Im not a fan of these kinds of memes anyways, it’s not that theyre incorrect, I just don’t think kids getting murdered en masse is funny
Oh damn, sorry for them. So anyway, how many mass shootings are happening daily in the USA?

The US probably had 3 today ( doesn’t matter the day)
Non-Americans are photoshopping their pours more often? Ah, geez… Sending thoughts and prayers. That’s awful, everyone.
I did good today. I can put it in the Mrs. Butt tonight, now!
Ooh, another low-effort America bashing post. Bonus for joking about murdered kids. Slow clap, very impressive.

I vote Democrat down the line, what other suggestions do you have in mind?
Recommend sending your kids to another country for schooling. Gun control isn’t going to happen in US. Vote all you want. The democrats are also afraid to make strong changes on this. It’s more likely the republican notion of everyone just having a gun all the time will catch on rather than real gun control. Sorry to sound so down. I would love to see gun control in US but they just aren’t going to to it. There is far too much lobbying and far too many people that view guns and cars as more valuable than their own children.
Gun control isn’t going to happen in US.
This is false. We have a mountain of gun control laws in place already. Many of them are rarely enforced.
Maybe you meant that banning scary rifles is not going to happen in the USA? That would be an accurate prediction, based on the last few years of precedents set by our Supreme Court.
Lol, send my kids to another country? Most of us here live paycheck to paycheck. Real talk? I took my kid out of school. Besides the threats of violence, public school in the US is a joke. I was homeschooled and I still ended up better educated than most people I know my age, without even really trying…
Clever? This is clever? Your standards are very low

I like how you used the correct form of apostrophe at the end of friends’ but your overall sentence is clear.
Truly, the cars of tomorrow will eat the orange cows of yesterday.
Careful, they have a lot of accounts, and they’re not afraid to use them!
Spare me, oh demigod(s) of Lemmy!

It’s not clever. It’s just stupid.
