More children/students died this year than service men (military).

Secondly aren't teachers/schools on strike so now their will be money to arm the teachers?

If you arm teachers and a teacher flips out and shoots students then what's the next step?

Maybe students should be all homeschooled and the schools can be be refurnished to become houses/appartements (New house project are in decline + prices of homes are skyrocketing).

That is not surprising. I mean, I'm sure we can find similar statistics for every country. Why would you think service men are getting gunned down? We've pulled out of most of the active fighting zones.

Other countries don't have this problem because they are must tougher when it comes to access.
If you can't keep deadly weapons out of the hands of children, they you shouldn't have them.
American's act like children who need an adult to just save us from ourselves. Have enough respect for the damage that guns can do and make sure that access only goes to the responsible. If I don't pay my insurance, renew my registration, get my car inspected, complete training, testing, and an eye exam, I can't get to drive. Because cars can be dangerous and not just anyone gets to drive one. Same should be for guns. Make gun ownership a badge of respect and honor. Make us all safer.                              

Except,your whole premise is incorrect.Shotgunsare legal in Australiaand easily obtained.In fact, Australia just had an amnesty program because illegal gun ownership was on the rise and they were getting homemade firearms turned in. Swiss have a very high gun rate. No one is using their guns there in crimes. UKs gun ownership is on the rise including the black market..Then you completely ignore all the countries that have outright ban on guns with extremely high gun violence. e

Those damned guns automatically shooting people in America again? Why do you make guns that make their own decision and kill innocent people?

The average is once a week. 22 shootings in 20 weeks at that point. Happens way too much, and nobody is willing to take steps to stop it.

This is just blatant skewing data.

after generations of parents wishing their sons/daughters would not join the military but instead go to Uni/college because it is so much more safe we have now crossed a path where it potentially becomes more safe to join the military then going to study.

Yeah, but percentage wise you still probably have a better chance dying in military than dying at a school.

I know that's why I used 'potentially' it's more symbolism.
