Friendly reminder that the total number of people killed by school shootings (including teachers and perpetrators) during the last 22 years in the US was just 316. Every year there are about 55 million students plus 20 million undergraduates plus all the teachers, so statistically speaking, on average only 15 of this huge number of people were shot every year since the year 2000.
25 times the number of children drown in US swimming pools each year. Do you hear anyone say "ban the swimming pools"?
Bonus content: If you look at the FBI stats, about 20 black males are shot when unarmed each year. In about 16-17 of these cases the perp got the cops gun or taser. About 3-4 of these are ‘bad’ shootings, unamred and the shooting was unwarranted, the cop is charged. Over 20 people each year in the US are struck by lightning. But, most new shows will talk about having to grow up in the US worried about being butchered by a cop.
Meanwhile Chicago is the wild west with 20 shooting a weekend that is black on black or hispanic on black shooting. The media is silent on this unless to say, "wypepo did this". Cops average 3 bad shootings a year when black males 18-38 (2% of US) make up over 50% of the violent crime
