I think I'm a little older than most on this site (?), but Sandy Hook happened around when I graduated high school.
We had yearly or semi-yearly lockdown drills and they taught us "run hide fight".
When I was in grad school our campus went on lockdown after a shooting got reported in a classroom (I was on campus at the time, at a social event). Everyone hid and panicked but it turned out to be some undergrads popping balloons.
I graduated before Sandy Hook, so I've basically been watching all of this school shooting stuff become more common than fire drills from the outside. I also remember what airports were like before 9/11, from my point of view it seems like every single fucking thing in our society is wrong
I was in Brazil with my girlfriend at the time when Sandy Hook happened so I really wasn't aware of the scope of that incident until some time later when I actually looked into it. It was right around the time I was starting to get into crypto-fascism through libertarianism and sure enough I ended up thinking it was fake. For a long while I was convinced Adam Lanza wasn't a real person and body doubles and actors faked the shooting to start grabbing guns. This was for years, like 2013-2016-ish I was off the deep end into this shit. No surprise I was drinking heavy and dealing with a nasty break up with that girlfriend. But it still amazes me how chuds think these are false-flags to do government gun control. If people were okay with children dying in Sandy Hook, nothing will make them do gun control. Maybe a Maoist uprising or something could though.
I mean I think it's both - guns are treated like a commodity or a cultural signifier rather than a tool for liberation. We also have laws that let people who should not own guns own them (think suicidal people or domestic abusers).

It leans young, but you're probably right near the midpoint or a tad above from my perspective idk
i swear to god i log onto this site and i feel like I'm sixty minutes from death of old age, and I'm not even thirty.
I think the tail is pretty long, and those of us that are in it aren't as vocal as some of our younger comrades

Yeah, exactly. Like - these people would rather convince themselves that Sandy Hook was staged than even consider the United States has bad gun laws.
Or that the culture is so toxic it makes people snap and exploit lax gun laws to do violence.

Yeah, toxic culture mixed with toxic gun culture, all bad things in the general cesspool surrounding the 2nd A in this country.
