In the wake of those shootings, an industry has emerged to try to protect schools — and business is booming. According to the market research firm Omdia, the school security industry is now worth as much as $4 billion, and it's projected to keep growing.
As long as we live under late capitalism school shootings aren't going to go away. People are still going to get squeezed and lose their minds and take it out on the vulnerable. And since we're never going to abolish capitalism the bandage on the wound is gun control and lmao, yeah good luck with that.
yeah in the current climate "gun control" is a non-starter.
say dems get in power and get it done: voluntary confiscation maybe followed up by collection. local sheriff going house to house. guess who isn't getting a second look? right wingers, fellow cops, etc. meanwhile minorities are getting their doors kicked in and likely being shot.
or they pull a Clinton and just keep expanding what crimes are felonies until all crimes are. once again you can be selective about this. there's a reason simple drug possession of many substances became felonies in the crime bill
if reps do it we know it's just going to be: all liberals, trans, lefties, etc are banned from owning firearms only using "mental health" statutes. not much different then expanding felonies. in fact, they would likely be on board with that too because they know who's going to get hit with these charges (not them or their friends).
in the end, both just want the "right people" to be armed. me, personally, I just want a well regulated People's Militia in the Bolivarian Socialist or Chinese model (it should outnumber the military and maybe replace it)
And even then it shouldn't even be on or even near the table until after the revolution happens, because historically in the US, gun control has, and always will be about keeping guns out of the hands of non-whites.
Like seriously I keep wondering if anyone actually knows the history of gun control here in the states with how often it keeps being brought up "why don't they just ban guns already".
Of course this is without getting into the logistical nightmare a realistic comprehensive gun control would even look like in the US.
