Perhaps then discuss whether the students think lack of ready access to firearms, government-funded mental health services etc make a difference? Perhaps then discuss whether the students think the Republican lawmaker's refusal to pass any form of gun legislation in the US despite 90%+ support for universal background checks due to their receiving donations from the gun industry, indicates a corrupt political system and a deeply corrupt Republican party? Perhaps go through a list of Senators and see how much blood money each one took from the NRA. Write their names on the board along with the amounts, so the kids know who killed those kids, and how much those lives were worth in dollars to those people. Also, perhaps, get them to research the gun manufacturers who are making the guns and making these donations. Write the CEOs' names on the board in big letters, let them know who their murderers are.
Honestly if by silence you hide from the children how much the US Conservatives are facilitating their murders, you're doing them a disservice.
