minus-squareGBU_28@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-25 months agoAlmost all comments in this chain, and indeed the immediate one you replied to mention “school shooting”. Beyond that, schools and dangerous guns existed before 1980. Edit even the original meme is about a school shooting

Why’s that?
Because they’re different crimes with different motives committed by different people under different circumstances.
