[Warning: Graphic Content] Sandy Hook’s Back to School PSA is Disturbing Yet Powerful

This was enough for me and the people around me
This is appalling
This actually reminds me of the article I saw from The Onion today.
Its painfully accurate. Some people seem to want the debate on guns to just go away without actually doing anything about it.

In recent history has Congress or the Senate been shot up with a death toll close to the average school shooting? I think if that happened every other year they'd probably start entertaining the thought of a gun ban but even that is a stretch with this stupid ass country.
It's not just principle. It's that we up our chances of being murdered simply by being armed. Cops and racists would have a field day. I want things to change, but I don't love this country enough to lay down my life for it.
I don't know how much further they can go without showing a kid straight up getting shot.
That is powerful, but sadly your gun loving citizens won't give a shit because they are brain dead 🙁
I get the feeling the mom replied back and the shooter heard the message notification revealing her hiding attempt.
The ad is great, simple but powerful, but it's also a little too much. Hopefully kids don't see this and have nightmares about going to school.
And no, I'm not saying that guns should be kept or schools are super safe, I'm just saying that the ad went a little too far.

I have no fucking idea how people can act as though it's okay that this kind of thing happens because "it's rare" or some shit like that. Just in the past week in Oklahoma we've had multiple people threaten to shoot up schools and somehow that doesn't fucking matter to gun nuts. They actually value owning weapons over their own children and I have no fucking idea how anyone could have that mentality or how anyone could see this kind of thing and think it's okay.
Also: To those saying the ad went a little too far, I honestly can't agree. You need to be shocking and not hold back, otherwise people will ignore it and downplay it.

This video is heavy for sure. Btw every time I see your avatar I think it's Dave Rubin and I die inside.
Yep, the chances of a child being shot in school are, relative to all the other ways they could potentially die, super small.
I'm not sure it's too much. We have a real, massive fucking problem. If parents see it, hopefully it wakes up the ones that are somehow not passionate enough about the issue. If children see it, hopefully they convince the hell out of their parents that something needs to be done immediately. The fact that this has gone on as long as it has is a big flashing red light about the leadership of the country as well as ourselves for continuing to allow the lack of meaningful action. This stuff is so painful to see, and children, of all our members of society, should not have to shoulder this kind of fear.
the chances of a kid being shot at school, should be ZERO, not "small"
miss me with that "ACHUALLY STADISTICALLY" bullshit
And yet it's prevalent enough that every kid has to go through repeated school shooter drills and they're designing schools and school supplies in such a way to help mitigate the event when it occurs.
Sure, should be. Obviously.
Still I'm not going to scaremonger my kids with this bullshit either.
I actually think it didn't go far enough. It is very good though.
Or you could educate your children on a real threat in modern-day America as opposed to letting TV and movies do your job for you, but you do you.
It's hardly bullshit is it, it is a real problem happening almost on the daily.
America, you're a very strange place.
The thing with this video is I feel like its only going to effect the people who were already in the camp of lets fucking do something about guns. No amount of sad stories or horrible imagery is going to get between politicians and their NRA blood money.
Tell that to the people acting like active shooter drills are a good thing and not just another wedge to drive into the psyches of traumatized children and their teachers
