I had an immediate family member in a similar scenario. I think those closest to a problem are the best able to make decision about it.
People far from a problem deciding how you should solve is like a boss telling you how to solve a coding issue. They aren't close enough to understand important details that affect the decision.
You're suggesting that the solution to school shootings is to ensure that all children have smartphones, not that less people should have access to guns?
I call bullshit on this one. I think it's something someone said because who is gonna push back on that one and then it caught on.
Don't accept that.
