Coming from just a comedic point of view mentioning school shootings when talking about the US is bottom of the barrel humor, not because it's too offensive it's just hack and overdone at this point.
Just get a new joke
The jokes will stop when the school shootings stop.
Until then:
It's also a disproportionate response. "British people talk funny" gets "American school children are regularly shot at school, lol tragedy".
