Making Americans suffer the consequences of their sowing FUD for profit is good business.

Their children don't get mutilated beyond recognition at school, because their children's schools are very, very expensive.

Why don't their children get killed? Why would an expensive school not have shootings?

There's no need to be rhetorical. We know what schools have been targeted by mass murderers and whose children were killed.

For example, the Ulvade shooter used semi-automatic rifles that were purchased from for-profit company Daniel Defense, founded by Marty Daniel, whose children have never been mutilated beyond recognition

They can likely afford better security for one thing.

Can you name one that has?
