Or live in a country where the last school shooting was more than 25 years ago?

Seriously this is such a weird comment. You don't want to say "school shooting" at risk of being uncivil but you think kids should always be prepared for a live gunman to walk into their lives. From my perspective, that's the uncivil part of your comment.

"Apply for immigration visas4 and move 'thousands of miles to an entirely new country" is not a realistic solution for most families.

Very valid. A much easier solution available to most families is to vote and change the world they live in.

People can vote for things all day but that doesn’t mean anything could be implemented that would guarantee the end of school shootings. We’re talking about a country with estimated an estimated half billion guns in circulation and plenty of those undocumented.
