Clearly we're become way too 'americanized' for our own good
 
It must be the NRA and the 2nd amendment

Must be :laugh:

I've actually been waiting with bated breath for a long time for mass school shootings to start trending in SA.

The designs of our schools don't really lend themselves to the american style of attack. Our schools are more open and difficult to pin people down.

Yes - now that you pointed that out - does indeed make sense.
Bummer

If you have 3 or more people and you're able to pin them down at assembly you could probably rack up a kill count that'll make ISIS blush, but the lone wolf type of attack won't really - ermmm - succeed.

I suppose you mean only in the schools that your kids (or kids that you know personally) don't go, right?

Nah. I had typed up some plans just now, but realized this is a public forum and putting it out there probably isn't a good idea. :) Suffice to say, it's not really hard to adapt insurgency tactics to the school yard.
 
^^^ worst kind of person in the world.

Checks he still has gun rights while the kids are being killed.
Well let me check on gun rights here in the People's Republik of South Africa.
Oh wait, there are none.

Firearm ownership is regarded as a privilege that can be taken away anytime the guavament sees fit. Yet ***somehow*** South Africa has a really high gun crime rate.
