You are forgetting about the kids growing up and realizing their workplace and homes and public places they frequent don't have the super necessary bulletproof safety sheds.
This idea that we should turn schools into fortresses always ignores the side effect that you are telling children they aren't safe unless there are draconian and in some cases ridiculous security measures in place to prevent or mitigate events that odds are would never have happened at their school in the first place.
These kids are going to be afraid to exist in the real world.

I have to hope this guy wasn't an NCO but....
In my MOS when I was in the most common age that people made E5 was 21 because our promotion points were so low (350) that basically anyone that went to the board got promoted and you could go to the board at 3 years time in service.
We had a high speed guy get promoted while we were deployed that couldn't drink with us when we got back because he was 20.

I hate this thing where people hedge their criticism of Iran or some other awful place by also criticizing the west.
It's like someone reading about people starving half the world away and saying "starving there, too much unhealthy fast food making people overweight here. Wow nutrition really is a huge problem everywhere huh."

It was clearly a severely constipated man who can only poop when he's scared and is only afraid of death so he brings a gun with him so he scare the shit out of himself and then afterwards he forgot the gun.
Occam's razor.

It's sad to me that the youngest person that went to the moon is 87. I get that we've made huge progress in other scientific endeavors but I don't think anyone on the last apollo mission 50 years ago imagined that in the next half century they no one would even come close to getting as far from the earth as they did.
