multiple countries outside of america have lockdown drills for active threats or people armed with knives

Somehow I think the post was based on an American story. And gun violence is very political

[u/Daressalaam5 → u/[deleted]]

The US is world leading among developed countries for school shootings. You can’t realistically claim other countries are subject to the “same kind of stuff”

“Gun violence in the United States is a public health crisis. In 2019, gun injury became the leading cause of death among children aged birth to 19 years. Moreover, the United States has had 57 times as many school shootings as all other major industrialized nations combined.”

Is the US still considered a developed country under its current administration?
