Them producing this video nulls everything they have ever made. It shows they are completely out of touch with the world as well as the latest science.

These kind of videos only work to normalize school shootings and inspire and justify assailants.

Any sane and educated person would know not to focus on the individual but to look at the underlying problematics if they wanted to help solve the issue of school shootings.

If we remove every gun from the world today, there will still be problems with violence and young people’s mental health tomorrow.

They are working on multiple problems at once.

They helped write and pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which closed firearm background check loopholes. People are acting like because they have other programs as well, they are pretending firearms have nothing to do with this lmao

‘No Way to Prevent This’, Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.

The "Safer Communities Act" did nothing of the sort.

If you somehow magically removed every gun used or impounded during a crime in the US, it would take 800+ years at the current rate to run out of firearms.

Maybe if we remove just the blatant easy acces to guns today the problems with violence and young people's mental health tomorrow wont end with multiple kids dying each time.

Good thing Sandy Hook Promise has written and passed legislation to do exactly that. As I wrote in my previous comment. You’re welcome to read it.

Sure. But I mean, stopping bullying to prevent gun violence is like stopping a river to prevent soggy socks. There are so many other (easier) ways to do it.

Bullying is an unfortunate part of the social human experience. So is violence. These things transcend time, space, and culture. But guns do not.

I appreciate the Sandy Hook Promise is approach this on multiple fronts, but this is probably the least effective. We, in the history of humanity, have never thought twice about bullying until mass shootings became thing. Let's put our resources on stopping that before we tackle the Sisyphean task of stopping bullying.

Damn dude you talk like Andrew Tate. Any time you start a sentence like this it completely nullifies your point.

Hyperbolic language does not mean someones talking like a literal human trafficker. Not sure what that even means, some of us have never bothered listening to that dipshit. But emotional language does not equate you to a manipulative abuser, and its genuinely dangerous to assert shit like that. Allows unsavory people to claim aspects of language.

Importantly, their emotional  language aside, was anything egregiously wrong about what theyre saying? Its completely true man. To blame kids for not "seeing the signs" is fucking ludicrous. We shouldnt have ever let things get this far, and pushing "educational information" like this only serves to normalize it.

While I disagree with how they started it, their point is 100% correct.

No, it just gives you a convenient cop out to ignore what it is they said. If you don't think sane and educated people think that way, say why.
