338,000

[candycorn]

WAPO is behind a paywall. The OP/ED cites the WAPO story. 338,000 +/- students have been in a school that suffered a school shooting. The reporter cited that five years earlier when he did the research, it was 187,000.

Unbelievable. Students in every other advanced nation do not have to bear that yoke. It strains the imagination to consider what this means long term.

Littwin: The mass shootings never seem to end, but one analysis says there may still be hope

A Washington Post story five years ago showed 187,000 kids had been affected by school shootings since Columbine. Now it’s 338,000.

Yes mental illness is a very difficult problem that neither party is interested in addressing.

It is not the guns fault and never will be.

if we could only get those criminals to obey the law and not kill people,,

Other nations have mentally ill people.

 

[whitehall]

Affected? What does that mean? Kids today see realistic depictions of carnage and death every freaking day. My guess is that they are more afraid of getting mugged on the subway or beaten on the school bus.

Then go there.
--- Note the bitching about America.....but refusal to leave.

Stop voting Democrat and the gun violence will eventually stop. A 5 year old could figure that out.
It's the criminal immoral policies of your masters.

Next they'll demand more CAR Control, Knife Control, Acid Control, Axe control, Machete control, Pencil control, Arrow control, and control of your children.

You see....it's ALL ABOUT CONTROL. Public safety was never an issue for them.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

END DEMOCRATS AND END NOT ONLY GUN VIOLENCE BUT ALSO NEARLY ALL VIOLENCE.

Democrats - your endless source of chaos, violence and death.
99% of the nations violence, including gun violence, occurs in Democrat Controlled cities.

I agree.
They are known as lefty liberals.
Which includes transfreaks, globalists, commies, homos, etc

 

[there4eyeM]

Coming generations have less and less contact with wild areas, hunting and living near dangerous beasts other than human. Familiarity with and casual acceptance of firearms is bound to diminish. Voters vote based on feelings. When enough voters feel some legislation will make things better, they will vote for it. Avid 2nd believers had better come up with something soon to avoid losing too much.

Meanwhile, Democrats willinging expose 100s of thousands of children to homosexuality, pedophilia,genital mutilation, and child grooming.But there will be no long term negative social consequences there...*sarcasm*

Other nations have criminals. Why don't they go on these massive shooting sprees?

if youre thinking its because they dont have the access to guns we have you would be deceiving to another fact that the worst mass killings in history were done after guns were taken away from the people where the governments came in and slaughtered millions,,

I would like to hear your explanation on why other first world nations don't have these monthly shooting sprees.

They do.

ok,,,

what I would like to know why everytime a government takes guns away from the people they go on to slaughter millions of their own people??

 

[Sunni Man]

Because in America the liberals/Democrats encourage criminals by viewing them as victims and condone their lawless crime sprees as justified behavior.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

When liberals want to actually address the topic - the first thing to do would be to stop ENORMOUSLY overstating the real problem that does exist.
It doesn't help to make ridiculous claims like "over 200 school shootings in 2022". Which included shootings on school property when school wasn't even in session. Like weekends.
Number 2 - start taking school security seriously. Most simply do not because they don't want to start showing statistics of mostly black kids being the ones getting in trouble. So they do nothing.

 

[candycorn]

They do.

Okay...there are like 200 other nations on earth. Of that there are like 50 what I'd call "first world nations"....

Britain
France
Egypt
Israel
Spain
Belgium
Norway
Canada
China
Japan
Indonesia
Australia
Montenegro
Switzerland
and some others.

So there should be 50 stories from this month of mass shootings from these nations if they really do.

Can you link to 10 of them from this month?

Are criminals, the military, the Secret Service and security for politicians also surrendering their arms?
