This is probably not the best context but I find it crazy how fast the government will get involved if it involves lude content but children are getting mudered in school shootings and gun control is just a bridge too far.

I think they act faster on those matters because, aside from being a very serious problem, they also have a conservative agenda.

Is very easy to say: "LOOK, WE ARE DOING THIS TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM PEDOPHILES!!!"

But they can't just go and say "let's enforce gun safety on schools", because having a conservative voter reading "gun safety" will already go bad for them.

They know they are sacrificing the well being of children by not acting on the school shootings, but for them is just the price of a few lives to stay in power.

Sorry can't help it; I'm an energy vampire and we tend to be jerks. Got it from my dad.

Those shootings don’t happen in private schools.

Nudes happen in private schools.

There's no competing interests when it comes to protecting child from child sexual exploitation. When it comes to protecting them from guns, there is the competing interest of the second amendment.
