teardrop posted:Which nation, the Falkland Islands population 3000? I think people drastically underestimate the number of guns sloshing around in the US. A country like Switzerland, where a large part of the adult population are reservists and have a weapon at home, think of themselves as having high gun ownership. But that list has several active/former warzones that all have less guns than the US. The US has more guns than people.

we did the bomb threat drill thing where you evacuate and form a small, dense group in the "evacuation area" behind the gym, which is where someone who actually wanted to bomb or shoot a bunch of kids would target. other than that, i think we had tornado drills where you either got under a desk or got down on your hands and knees facing a wall with your hands over your head, because your child-sized hand bones would've really softened the blow of the cinderblock wall collapsing on your skull i guess. never had to do a shooter drill, though.

Our active shooter drill consisted of locking the doors, putting the blinds down, and sitting huddled in the corner in the dark for 20 minutes until the superintendent or someone declared all clear. Before smartphones this time was spent awkwardly avoiding eye contact, trying to find comfortable ways to sit or squat on the floor, and one or two dudes playing some funny ringtone to break the artificial tension until their flipphone got confiscated by the teacher EDIT: Oh and the laserpointer gag. That was a good one.

CPL593H posted:Can't they just shoot the gently caress out of the door knob or is that a thing that only works in movies? It can be fairly difficult to get through a locked doorknob with proper tools like a drill or hammer. Pretty sure that using a gun to open a door is one of those things that works far better in movies or video games than it does in real life.
