School shootings in the US are a very real topic whether you like it or not. And the show covered it about as respectfully as possible, you didn't actually see any violence or dead children. Pro-gun people always trot out the "too soon" card when any debate on guns comes up after mass shootings, but they happen so frequently that if you went by their rules you could never talk about guns
I kind of agree with you. But it did leave a little bit of a bad taste of profiting on tragedy. Something that bugged me about the show, especially in the early seasons was that they were portrayed as kind of a good, moral MC because they only dealt in guns, and not drugs. I wouldn't mind if they took a path of dealing with some of the consequences of selling guns.
