Alright listen up, you crayon-eating ape. The joke is dark because it implies that automatic weapons are designed to hold enough bullets to kill an entire classroom of kids. This is a commentary on school shootings and gun violence. People think it's funny because it's true. Fact is, public school enrollment has been pretty steady at around 25 kids per classroom since 1960. So the joke is a little off there.
