No there isn't, the media and gun control groups love to act like there is. The reality is much more nuanced than guns bad. Ban them and all this magically stops
Yeah. It's only one every week!
Yea...no it's not.
Even NPR did a report on it:
https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent
But you'll ignore it and keep eating the bullshit from GVR and other anti-2a groups.
Hahahaha. That's from 2018 with data from the 2015-2016 school year. Fucking hilarious.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000%E2%80%93present)
https://www.calendar-365.com/week-number.html
I know it's amazingly presumptuous of me to assume you can figure out the rest, but I'll let you go ahead and do that.
Are you suggesting because its not super recent it's wrong? The fuck...
Also, you're wiki article literally proves my point.
First line in 2020
Yea...counted as a school shooting.
I'm sorry. How many times per week has someone shot a gun in a school in the US in 2024 again?
I can't seem the find that in your reply...
According to your link, it's not even monthly....
Not a school shooting....nor by students...but its for some reason there...in the list. That entire list is basically shit like that.
So it's pretty damn rare, but you can't be bothered to even read your own sources, so you'll continue to stick your fingers in your ears and act like facts don't exist.
Wow. You're really bad at math. Maybe the reason you think this isn't a problem is because you've never been in school?
Wanna try again?
EDIT: Naaaah. I'll just give it to you. You're right! It's only once a month.
Just because it want to see how much of a fucking idiot you'll make of yourself trying to bend farther over backwards to see if you can walk it back to once a year and still look like a fucking psychotic moron.
Will probably work better than whatever is done now. Which is fuck all.
It won't, we fix the underlying foundation. You don't repair a house with foundation issues by painting the walls.
It's literally the foundation in your stupid analogy. But whatever, it's your kids, what do I care.
I'll keep upvoting these Onion posts every week it happens.
No it's not, people don't become violent because of an object...and you're right, if you don't live here then keep your nose out of the issue.
Gun nuts...
Oh I'm keeping my nose out of it. But it doesn't mean I will stop ridiculing your idiotic obsession with an object that you obviously care more about than the lives of innocent kids.
I can see that the Onion title goes over your head, but I'm not suprised.
Your ignorance on the topic shows. There are hundreds of millions of firearms in the hands of civs here in the states. If we had a gun problem, you'd know about it. We have an issue with our society that helps breed these issues and an inanimate object isn't the root cause of it, but you wouldn't understand this.
You have a gun problem. The world knows about it, trust me.
We have a lot of problems, which present themselves with as other problems. You thinking you know how our country works shows how little you know.
I don't need to know how your country works, to know that mass-shootings in schools is a problem your country has lol.
Cope harder.
Lol you're telling me to cope? No one has taken my firearms lol the fuck am I coping about? I'm not the one coming into a euro thread and whining
"whining" about kids dying in schools?
I can see that you're more concerned about your peepee enhancers than the kids. Definitely not a weirdo.
I can see you run on emotions vs facts. Assuming you're one of those people who is for locking up women for killing their rapist/attackers.
Lmao these arguments... I cannot...
"One of those people". Ah yes, random civilians "locking up women for killing their attackers".
Oh, and we're definitely bringing up self-defence with automatic rifles when talking about mass-murdering children in schools.
Fucking brain of a pigeon, and not a smart one. Knowing that people like you own guns creeps me the fuck out. Bunch of weirdos. Yuckh
Yea they literally do that shit in the UK...
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63636409
But you know... it's fine because no one used a gun and the victim went to jail.
Automatics are basically banned here, but you keep presenting that deep knowledge you have on the topic.
Lol yea... I'm the dumb one...
Links an unrelated article about illegal personal vendetta
struts around like a winner
I'm gonna stop responding, because you're creeping me out. I'm feeling uncomfortable because I feel like you might start stalking me and shoot me, like you people do in the US.
Talk to you on the next school-shooting topic next week. Enjoy trying to fuck a gun.
Ok kid
