Perspective, school shootings vs. other homicides.

[Woodznutz]

Since Columbine about 520 people have been killed in school shootings.
During the same time between 375,000 and 400,000 people have also been murdered in America.

 

[Crepitus]

Yeah, what are you people bitching about?

It's only a measly 520 children slaughtered.

It's just the price we pay for the manly feelings we get from our guns.

Well worth the cost, amIright?

That's an interesting perspective since 42 percent of gun owners are women.

"According to a recent study from Harvard University, 42% of gun owners in the United States are women1. This is a 14% rise over the last five years1. Another survey conducted by Harvard and Northwestern found that nearly 50% of new gun owners between January 2019 and April 2021 were women2. According to firearm retailers, 33.2% of first-time gun buyers in 2021 were female2. While about 62% of gun owners in the United States are male, about 22% of women report that they own a gun."

White males are the leading cause of death in school shootings. We need white male control.

In fairness, there also have been 168 or so holiday weekends in Chicago since Columbine too

What's that got to do with anything?

When I was in school careful attention was paid to 'at risk' kids. Guidance Counselors met with each kid each school year to access our social progress.

I don't think owning a gun make women feel "manly".

Interesting perspective.

Well according to you and your data, the SCHOOLS are doing a great job protecting children.


ONLY 520 unnecessary slaughters.
It's a Fact of Life. JV Vance.

Ask one.

Oh, I forgot, you're a republican.

I'll ask some for you.

We're doing a poor job dealing with most of our problems.

I'm a moderate independent conservative.

 

[Winco]

We're doing a poor job dealing with all murders. When it goes on and on, it's by design.

But you felt the need to suggest that not all that many children have been slaughtered when you compared it to total murders.

Babbitt getting shot has most the right wingers on this site angered to the highest degree.
Mass Shootings at School, yea, NOT that many, just 520, and sadly it "A fact of Life." vance

With an average of 17 school shootings per year since 1999 they are a fact of life, unfortunately.

Imagine if Harris, Biden or Obama had said that.

The attacks would be never ending, but since vance said it, you ALL fall in line.
What a fucking embarrassment.

So by your reasoning, abortion is indeed a Fact of Life, deal with it.

Ya'all just let it go. It's no more than an inconvenience of hearing gunshots through the night. The flag must still be there.

Every time children get slaughtered in a school republicans surprise me with new reasoning to explain how little they care

Teachers who refuse to protect their students show how little they care. They are more concerned about their 'sensitivities' than the safety of the kids.

42 percent of gun owners are women. Perhaps teachers should be recruited from these women. And if a man won't arm himself to protect the kids, he shouldn't be a teacher.

Teachers are legally responsible for the safety of our kids while in school. So, why are teachers never prosecuted when our kids are harmed? You can't be the protector and the victim at the same time. A gun makes you a protector. Without it you are just another victim.

Conservatives hate teachers as you just expressed in your own words. Conservatives have never cared about the teachers who died in school shootings trying to protect children because you all just don't care. From your posts in this thread I think school shootings make you feel giddy.
