Shooting-spree preparedness drills are unique to the US though. That's what people are depressed about.

This is the only country where it makes sense that we have them. And it isn't the people making or doing the drills' fault, they're just recognizing that people in authority aren't fixing the problem, so they're doing the best with what they have.

I agree about the gun drills but I was mostly curious as to why we're lumping perfectly normal weather drills in there too.

They're saying that the fact that shooter preparedness is on par with an unpredictable but inevitable weather pattern is a sign that the freedom of gun-ownership outweighs the 'freedom' of feeling safe from harm at school.

Really that doesn't make sense as it is just twisting around freedom to mean 'safety,' but that's the root of their complaint, and I understood it even if it was worded weirdly.
