Because these 11 year olds are clearly the problem...

Well, duh?

What else could be the problem? The fact that school shootings must be taken seriously because it's a real possibility that an 11 year old kid could access a gun?

Ofc not. The only way to stop a bad 11 yo with a gun is with good armed 11 yo.

We need to start giving kids shooting classes, they need to be ready in case a classmate decides to bring their gun to kill other kids.

They used to actually have shooting class in high school. My dad went to it when he was a kid.

Probably don’t want to be teaching the kids how to shoot properly though. That could lead to even worse outcomes in today’s social environment.

I see the gun lobby has gotten to you too. Why is no one talking about teaching these kids how to make IEDs in case of school shootings?
