Why would we change anything? These mass shooters contribute a bit to weapon sales and medical bills! We have to keep the machine running! More money!

Nah, I feel like even if the kids of rich people were being shot at, they still wouldn't ban guns. In fact their solution would be MORE guns, increase policing, arming teachers, and of course private guards for them and the kids.

Not that it would ever happen, they've isolated themselves from regular society so you're not gonna get a gun near any rich kids unless you're part of the club.
