I really do get it now. It's because it's familiar. It makes you realize that the school your own children go to could be the next spot. Maybe after enough schools get shot up, you'll start thinking that a society full of guns isn't such a good idea.
But you'll still demand cheap food, gasoline, and manufactured goods, and turn a blind eye to what policies it takes to make those things happen.
I don't have children of my own. My primary interaction with children is tutoring inner city middle school kids in English and math. They're mostly black and Latino. Some of them are Muslim. All of them are poor. These are the lucky ones.
They're all children to me and there is nothing special about some suburban white kids who suddenly got exposed to the violence that permeates our country and our culture. Next week, all of you will return to your suburban lives and illusion of safety until the next time reality invades. Some of the kids I see are in actual danger of catching a bullet; it is likely that some of them will die to gun violence. It is even more likely that they will see the same discrimination and economic disadvantage as their parents.
None of this counts, though, you fucking racists.

you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you are talking about, i live in a city that breaks its own murder record every year. one of the first and most violent school shootings in america happened in my town. have you ever heard of patrick purdy? the vietnam vet that opened fire on a playground full of kids at cleveland elementary school in stockton california? ya i went to that school, though thankfully my mom kept me out of school that day cuz i was sick. from there i went to some pretty seedy middle and highschools that were plagued with gangs. ive seen guns, gang fights, broken skulls, blood, and my fair share of just good old fashioned violence in the classroom. again tho, i must be lucky because nobody directly related to me has been killed or hurt through all of this. so your assumption that i live in some "fantasy world" where im safe and sound is completely and utterly false. i see tragedy on a local level every fucking day, and i feel the same remorse for them as i do the people in conn. so please just fucking stop. what you are saying may apply to you, but please to try to pass off you lack of morals on the rest of the world. we are all not like you, and we dont want to be like you
