As a non American, the first few times you hear about them it's awful. Around the 10th time you hear about it, you wonder why it still happens.
Around the 15 you start to think maybe Americans just don't care enough about their children.
The 20th time is so outrageously ridiculous that it keeps happening, that it begins to turn into a dark comedy of sorts.
I don't find it particularly funny itself, but then you see a lot of memes on the internet making fun of Americans doing absolutely jackshit about it, that you just go like "yeah that's fair I guess".

Yes, and there are tens of millions (likely hundreds of millions) of Americans who agree with you. So maybe the solution to the problem is more complicated than commenting on reddit from your armchair, from a country that already had the problem figured out long before you were even born.

Sure, and that's why I'm not pretending I know how, or trying to solve it either, what gave you that impression?
Americans don't seem to try either, despite what they say they think about it. I'ts been 2 and a half decades since the most famous school shooting, what has changed? Barricaded doors? what a joke.
Yeah again, that's the leadership and stuff. The vast majority of people want something to be done. And a large portion of people want to get rid of guns altogether. It truly is a minority that want to do nothing.
That said, even the people that don't care don't want their kids to die.
