School shootings are extraordinarily rare. Why is fear of them driving policy?

[Defiant1]

I noticed the NAACP helped alot with the march. Do they march with black families victimized by gangbanging, or just rich white entitled white kids?

There WERE kids speaking who have been victimized by gang wars. BLM was there.

It's funny you mentioned Black Lives Matter ... Especially since one of their founding principles is to protest law enforcement.

That would be the police.
When the law enforcement and military are the people with firearms ... It's called a Police State ...

.

As you know, BLM's founding principle is NOT to protest law enforcement; it is to protest uneven application of the law due to racial prejudice.

Myth

BLM is, like so many other fake grievance organizations, another cog in the communist machine.

 

[OldLady]

Anyway, back to the topic of the thread, the leaders of this movement made it very clear that they are not satisfied with laws that only address school safety because of exactly what the OP said. Gun violence is about so much more and people sure aren't dying just in schools.

To the contray ....

"Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an international activist movement, originating in the African-American community, that campaigns against violence and systemic racism towards black people. BLM regularly holds protests speaking out against police killings of black people, and broader issues such as racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system.[1]"



They are an organization that supports "civil rights" ... That's the rights of the People.
They are protesting abuses at the hands of the government.

You simply do not empower the People against the government by disarming them ... Period ...

.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

We need more grievance organizations on our side.

We demand an end to nearly 100 years of gun rights infringement! We are being oppressed.

Perspective | School shootings are extraordinarily rare. Why is fear of them driving policy?

Fear of school shootings shouldn't be driving policy.

Terror attacks are even rarer and yet they seem to drive an awful lot of policy...the Patriot Act comes to mind....oh yeah and the Department of Homeland security too.

I also wouldn't call 17 incidents in which someone was injured or killed in span of 12 weeks "extremely rare".

 

[BlackSand]

If they didn't ... We wouldn't be having this discussion.

We are not interested in your desire to limit our rights any further.
We are not asking for approval as to what we can use to defend ourselves.

The Second Amendment doesn't say a damn thing about hunting or sport.
It does mention the ability to defend the free state.

You mean terrorism drives more policy than restricting constitutional rights? Holy shit batman! Say it aint so!!

Because they are extraudinarily deadly

Most people are appauled at the slaughter of children

I know some people that are appalled at poor spelling.

So you admit it's just emotion?

Spell check changed it to that
Had to go back and change it

THEN STOP ******* DOING IT!!! STOP DEMANDING RESTRICTIONS THAT WORK AS EFFECTIVE DISARMAMENT!!!

 

[depotoo]

They are counting intentional shootings of four or more, just as other countries do.
The other list also includes 3 accidental gun discharges with no injuries, one on a college campus, and 3 shootings on college campuses, which included a shooting at a party/wedding rental facility located on a campus. They also included a suicide in a school parking lot by a 31 yr old at a school that had been permanently closed seven months prior. They included a shooting between adults that had been fighting, in a school parking lot after hours. Also included was a suicide in a bathroom. Another included is an after hours robbery gone bad in a school parking lot. A school administrative office was hit by a stray bullet through a window, which the shooter was never located, and no one injured.
And last, a drive by that hit no one.

Two of the shootings, the kids had been kicked out of schooldue to problems, yet later allowed to return. Another in which he even had a hit list that had been reported.

Rare? What is rare?

They're rare in the UK, they haven't had one since 1996. The US has had many this year alone.

School shootings have been declining for two decades. Children are about 100 times more likely to die from drowning in a swimming pool. But the hype has been astronomical. The news loves it, it's good for ratings.

But there's a big difference between accidents and deliberate shootings.

Comparing the two is a little dishonest.

Do you have statistics to show school shooting have been declining for 2 decades?

Study: School Shootings Are Actually Rare and Declining

I've found a webpage that makes the same case as you do. Is it true?

It says there have been 4 school shootings this year. Well, that's a lot in only 3 months.

However is it 4 or are they just making up numbers?

Great Mills, Maryland. 2 dead. 17 year old student kills two people in this school.

Huffman High School, Birmingham, Alabama. 1 dead.
A school shooting? Well, no one is being charged with murder. A gun was taken to school, metal detectors were not being used that day, and a student was killed "accidentally." You could argue both ways. The reality is that kids aren't safe at schools and a student died as a result of guns.

Parkland Florida. 17 dead.

Oxon Hill High School, Maryland. No dead. Someone tried to rob someone else in a school parking lot. The shooting happened in a school, no one died.

So I'd guess this website would say it's not a school shooting, even though it was a shooting and it was at school. It wasn't a shooting in the same way as Parkland was. It wasn't a mass killing, but it was a shooting.

Sal Castro Middle School, zero dead. Two students were shot and injured in their classroom. A shooting in a school.

Marshall Country High School, two dead. Shot in the lobby of the school.

NET Charter High School, New Orleans. Zero killed. Shots were fired at students in the parking lot.

Italy High School, Texas, Zero dead. Shots fired but no one killed inside the school cafeteria.

So I've got eight there. How do they get it down to four? Ah, a school shooting is only a school shooting when A) students die and B) the aim of the shooter was to kill lots of random students.

That's rubbish. They're passing off school shootings as not school shootings because it's inconvenient for their message.

Give me a break.

So, their evidence that school shootings have been declining. I don't trust a single thing they say about school shootings, to be honest.

Of course not. Who needs evidence when you can make things up that fit your political goals?

 

[frigidweirdo]

But there's a big difference between accidents and deliberate shootings.

Yes. Deliberate violence is the fault of the perpetrator. Deliberate acts call for surgical responses. Accidents are broad. Accidents can be widespread. When accidents call for wide net responses.

You're ass backwards.

So, I say accidents are different to deliberate violence, you agree with me, then say I'm ass backwards. You must be to then.
