Schools safer today than in 1990s, study on shootings says

Tuesday, February 27, 2018
Despite the horror of the high school massacre in Florida, U.S. schools overall are safer today than they were in the early 1990s, and there is not an epidemic of such shootings, a new academic study is reporting.

Researchers at Northeastern University say mass school shootings are extremely rare, that shootings involving students have been declining since the 1990s, and four times as many children were killed in schools in the early 1990s than today.

The actual study...

Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be, researchers say

Their research also finds that shooting incidents involving students have been declining since the 1990s.

Four times the number of children were killed in schools in the early 1990s than today, Fox said.

“There is not an epidemic of school shootings,” he said, adding that more kids are killed each year from pool drownings or bicycle accidents. There are around 55 million school children in the United States, and on average over the past 25 years, about 10 students per year were killed by gunfire at school, according to Fox and Fridel’s research.

And as we tell you.....no matter what you do, you won't stop the killers...

Other safety precautions, such as installing metal detectors and requiring ID cards for entry, have also proven ineffective in past school shootings.

Fridel pointed to a few examples.

In 1989, a shooter killed five and injured 32 elementary school children in Stockton, California, by targeting them on the playground.

In 2005, a 16-year-old killed seven people at his Minnesota high school by walking through the front door metal detector and fatally shooting a guard.

In a 1998 shooting in Jonesboro, Arkansas, two students pulled a fire alarm and began sniping people as they filed out to the parking lot, killing five and wounding 10 others.

I posted something about that the other day. When you add them, more school shooting were done during the Obama administration, than any previous time:

"During the years 2008-2016 there were 133 school shooting. I'm not even mentioning those mass shootings that took place in the workplace or other places, of which there were also an unprecedented number.

Under President GW Bush, there were only 52 school shootings from January 20, 2001 to January 20, 2009. Under the four-year presidency of George Bush Sr. there were a total of 15 school shooting incidents. Under the 8-year Presidency of Bill Clinton there were 55 school shootings."

You want to see some interesting numbers? Take away the term school shootings and look at the bigger picture of mass shootings. Most mass shooters of the last 20 years have either been immigrants or first generation born of immigrants.

Interesting. Well cons, I guess you were wrong and taking Jesus out of our schools was a good thing after all!
